Canon Auto Zoom 814 Electronic!
This was the first Canon movie camera to employ a “magnetic release.” The first electronics applied to movie cameras were electronic motors for film drive and zooming, and EE (exposure control) mechanisms. With the introduction of the magnetic release mechanism, however, electronics gradually came into full use. The magnetic release mechanism allowed the systemization of release operation and the control of the camera on/off by electronic pulses. The magnetic release system became standard in 8mm movie cameras from this model onward.
The popular 8x zoom lens was newly designed to provide higher contrast. It had a bright viewfinder and a Servo EE system. It also had variable shutter opening control to achieve perfect fading out/in. The slow-motion shooting was possible at about 40 fps. A folding-type grip was employed, and an interval timer was available as an accessory.
