1. General Information Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura
The Canon Autoboy Jet was launched in June 1990, a time when camera companies were racing to create the "Bridge Camera" concept. Canon's goal was to create a camera that filled the gap between a compact PnS but moderate quality and a bulky SLR with high quality. In the European market the camera name is Canon Epoca and in the USA it is Canon Photura.
2. Image Quality Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura
If you play a PnS Zoom machine (like Autoboy EPO, Pentax 120 sw ii, ...) many, most the maximum aperture that can be achieved will be f/3.5, but with the Canon Autoboy Jet, that number is 35mm f/2.8! And what's more, at the farthest focal length 105mm, the maximum aperture of the camera is f/6.6. It is these parameters that make the Canon Autoboy Jet called a "Point And Shoot" but the image quality is not inferior to a film SLR (replaceable lens mirror camera) or PnS fixed lens (like Nikon L35af, Canon Autoboy Tele 6, Fuji Tiara Mini ... is how many).
2.1 Shoot at light with Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura
The lens of the Canon Autoboy Jet film camera gives very good, very good very good (important to say 3 times) sharpness at all focal lengths. Photos are detailed, clear and separate. The color even on a common film like Fuji 400 is very special. The color saturation from the Autoboy Jet's lens is good and slightly leans toward a light warm tone, very flattering when taking portraits or landscapes.
With PnS film cameras zoom in general as Canon Autoboy EPO good Pentax Espio 120 swii then at maximum focal length, no camera can beat the Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura at all. This is what surprised me.
2.2 Shooting backlight with Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura
The Canon Autoboy Jet's lens is equipped with a multilayer coating that controls flare quite well. However, due to the multi-lens zoom lens structure (10 lenses in 9 groups), when shooting head-on with a strong light source, the image still appears There is slight flare, but in most cases the backlighting is not too difficult, the colors are still very prominent and have high contrast. This flare phenomenon is quite similar to Canon Autoboy Tele 6.
2.3 Flash shooting with Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura
The Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura have a flash integrated right on the lens cap. When zoomed, the lights also move, helping the light distribute evenly whether you shoot wide angle or telephoto. However, because the flash deviates to one side, you need to pay care when taking to avoid letting the flash be covered by other objects.
Flash hits very strongly and smartly. At the farthest focal length of 105mm, the Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura flash still has enough power to brighten the subject as shown below. The computer's flash is more powerful Penatx Espio 120swii (which is right because it's 3 times larger Pentax 120swii but!)
3. Chế Độ Auto Của Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura
The Autoboy Jet is a true point and shoot machine (albeit a little big) with full support of technology:
- Focusing system (Smart AF): Uses 3 infrared focus points (Near-infrared beam). The focusing speed is fast and accurate even in low light conditions. I evaluate the focusing ability of the Canon Autoboy Jet better than its predecessor. Canon Autoboy 3 The closest focusing distance is 0.8m.
- Fully automatic: The machine automatically recognizes ISO film (DX Code) from 25-3200. You don't need to adjust anything, just raise the camera and shoot. In cases of backlighting or large differences between areas, the Canon Autoboy Jet still measures accurately, as long as you measure the right areas you want.
- Zoom mechanism: The zoom rotation button is conveniently located to match the index finger position, zooms smoothly but will emit a typical 90s motor sound, quite noisy but fun, suitable for listening to ASMR-style sounds.
The Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura also have a unique, though slightly waist level viewfinder It's small, but this viewfinder will assist you in some difficult corners instead of having to lie down on the ground or make the chair stand up high.
4. Feeling of Holding Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura
Although the Canon Autoboy Jet has a big size (about 645g without battery), besides the excellent sharp image quality, we also have a very stable and "unique" shooting position in Binh Duong. The camera has a side strap (hand strap) exactly like a Handycam camcorder. You put your right hand in, your fingers will automatically position the shutter and zoom buttons. When holding the Canon Autoboy Jet/ Canon Epoca/ Canon Photura, the center of gravity is on the palm which helps reduce vibration significantly when shooting at the 105mm telephoto focal length.
