The files and information linked to this page are provided in good faith as-is in the hope that they will be of some value to Canon enthusiasts with no warranty, express or implied, by anyone. In downloading or viewing these files, you agree to hold James K Beard, Canon Inc. and all subsidiaries, partners, successors, and assigns and in fact all entities harmless from any use of these files and the information you may derive from them.

Copyright

I originally got the files presented here from a CD-ROM that I bought on eBay. The copyright ultimately resides with Canon. I believe that Canon has no objection to support of legacy Canon equipment so long as there is no charge, and third party support is limited to equipment that Canon no longer supports.

Scope

These files were originally intended to cover the items that I post for sale on eBay. However, I decided to post all the manuals that I currently have available as resources for those who maintain FL and FD mount cameras, lenses, and cameras.

Some of these files originated with fair-to-poor quality B/W scans by an unknown someone-else many years ago. As such I cannot vouch for their authenticity, quality or date of publication. If anyone has better quality scans, or, preferably better quality PDF files and would like to make them generally available, please put me in touch with whoever is appropriate for the proper arrangements to post them.

The Canon F-1 "repair manuals" are apparently reproductions of a two-part article in the Society of Photo Technologists Journal in March and April of 1990. You may order the full issues of the SPT Journal from Craig Camera here.

Some of the files here have been subjected to the OCR provided as part of Adobe Acrobat® and have searchable text. These files get much larger in the process and the links are marked when this operation has been performed on them.

Find your camera or accessory and its relationship to the manuals here from the Canon Camera Museum links provided here.

Nothing For Sale Here

I've posted all the manuals that I have for legacy gear on this site. I have no others in reserve or for sale. If you need something that you do not see here, there are sources that you may find with a web search on "camera manuals and repair guides."

The standard zoom is not to be confused with the New FD 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 AF which provides autofocus on any FD mount camera, not just the T-80.

Note on the T-90 Backup Battery

The Canon T90 has an internal 3 Volt lithium standby battery (B-2 in the service manual, type BR1225 or CR-1220, Canon part number WK1-9022-000 given on last page of Part 1 of service repair manual) that the Canon manuals recommend be replaced at approximately five-year intervals, a boilerplate recommendation for lithium batteries. Its purpose is to retain stored data while the AA batteries are not present. This battery will last practically indefinitely if good AA batteries are kept in the camera.

If "ISO 100" flashes in half-second intervals on the main LCD panel, this battery should be replaced. The BR1225 and CR-1220 are readily available online very inexpensively, or you may try the standard lithium battery number CR-2025 that is available at any drug store. This battery is on the third printed circuit layer on the right side of the camera as viewed from the back.

Needed Manuals

Many of the manuals that I provide here were produced by old scans of even older photocopies. If you have a better copy of any manual that you would like to share, please let me know.

Many of the manuals here are difficult to find and are intended to be a resource for those who wish to continue use of their Canon FD equipment or to repair it for themselves or others. Some important manuals are not available here. If you have any of these manuals and would like to share them, please contact me. These include, but are not limited to, both owner's manuals and repair manuals for:

If you come here looking for something and don't find it listed at all, or you find that I don't have the manual that you need, I want to hear from you.
