The Canon T-90 was the last model that uses FD-mount prior to the shift to the autofocus EF EOS system. It hardly lasted a year since its inception but what an impact it has created on the design of future SLR. Every inch a classic, despite after more than 15 years, this camera is still hard to replicate even by today's standard. It was also widely acclaimed as one of the true Classic camera of modern times. Here comes a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon T90 SLR model - this is especially useful when you realize ALL Canon FD mount SLRs have long been discontinued you may require a public forum for common support and sharing mutual knowledge or experience among many of you. This Site has proved to be quite popular and I am quite happy to see these effort was not wasted and special thanks to ALL the volunteered Site Maintainers of this Message Board. Enjoy.

GEORGE, The warning for a dead backup battery is that the top LCD panel will display a flashing "ISO 100" upon replacement of the main batteries. Try replacing the main batteries and release the shutter, if possible and see if that helps. I do not recommend the alternative methods of clearing the "Help" message, i.e., banging the camera on a table top, or tapping it with a hammer. Good luck, and let us know how things turn out. TomR

Gary, WRT preventative overhauls, the only advantage that occurs to me is not having the camera fail unexpectedly just before, or in the middle of a planned shoot. I've yet to hear of a FATAL failure which would have been prevented by a prior overhaul. You can pay for the maintainence now, and have a higher degree of peace of mind, or pay for it when necessary, if ever. That said, keep the camera clean, store it properly, and exercise the shutter regularly. If you have a Command Back, set it to fire the camera on a daily basis.

Of course, that's just one man's opinion. WRT the internal battery, I can't recall offhand, all the systems it controls, so I don't want to guess. Does anybody know whether the internal battery is necessary to keep track of the exposures taken, and coordinate that info with the DX coding on the film canister? Does the T-90 auto rewind feature depend on an exposure count; or is it triggered by the increased tension at the end of the roll? TomR

Can anybody help me? I have a T90. The display shows "Help". I think that the back-up battery ist empty, because the age of my T90 is over 10 years. My problem is, can I change the back-up battery themself and when, where is the local place of these and when not must I do my camera to the repair shop and what the price for this changing? Or is this any other mistake? For help me in forward many thanks.

I have never had my T90 serviced since I bought it new in 1987 and it still works well. My question relates to "preventative" maintenance. I see a lot of messages about stuck shutter releases, EEE/Help messages, and dead internal batteries posted on this board. So far I have been lucky and not had these problems. But I am not sure how much longer my luck will last. My feeling is to carry on and don't mess with a good thing. Does anyone have an opinion about preventative overhauls? I would welcome of your comments/feedback. Thanks!

Hi all, I must say I have enjoyed discovering this web site and the T90 discussion group.
My input is the topic of camera time delays. I bought a T70 in the early 80's, and wondered why the shots of my (then young) children didn't seems as good as those through my Canon RM. The I bought a second hand low mileage T90 in the mid 90's, and also had problems capturing the exact moment. I put it down to advancing years... Howevr, finding this marvellous web site and the links has rekindled my enthusiasm in photography.
I remembered reading an article by Norman Goldberg in Popular Photography October 1986, and found it in my collection. He devised a setup to measure the time lag from press of shutter button to the pulse of light through the camera box.

His results are thus:-
Canon AE-1 86ms (86/1000 seconds)
Canon AE-1 Prgrm 185ms
Canon T80 230ms
Canon T90 86,180,215ms **
Canon T70 100ms

He comments that the T90 is a 'jumper', the time lag depends on whether the shutter button is partially depressed, activating the exposure metering circuitry. From cold, ie literally grab and shoot, the time lag is 215ms.

Interesting stuff,eh? many thanks for your interesting web site, and the discussion group regards David

MC: go to www.canonfd.com and download the "Canon reference guide for the 300TL". It is a paper made by Canon USA Tech department that explains much better than the manual how the 300TL works and what can do. I would be a little careful when screwing, like all plastic parts it could break. As long as the flash it is not allowed to move, it's tight enough. The 300TL with the T90 is an excellent system, it will make you use a flash more often...
