Ja, die Dinger sind Kult.

Worüber ich letztens aber viel mehr Lachen musste war der Canon Barcode Reader, ein System um 1990 Motivprogramme in die Kamera zu bekommen...

Zitat:

If you use the programmed pic modes (Basic Zone), you may like the barcode system. It lets you replace the programmed pic modes with modes of your choosing, (...) You scan the desired program in a booklet and transmit to the Elan via an IR input. (...) The included booklet, EOS Photo Files (Canon, 1990), contains 23 barcode programs, each with a sample photograph, and suggested equipment, e.g., lens, tripod, film, etc. If you wish to go hogwild, Barcodes 101 (Canon, 1991) boasts 101 barcode programs for your scanning enjoyment. Each program tailors the exposure, flash, meter pattern, AF mode, etc., for the image/situation depicted in the booklet. For example, P23, Bright Exceptions, depicts a white cat in front of a white wall. Camera meters expect a medium tonality and thus underexpose in this situation. P23 adds 1.5 stops of exposure compensation to keep whites from going gray. P01, Portrait With Catchlights, pops up the flash and uses -2.0 stops flash compensation to gently fill the face and add a little sparkle to the eyes.
