This was Canon's second high-performance 8mm movie projector, following the P-8 (released in 1958.) The design was changed to emphasize slimness and a neat cubic vertical style. A perfect auto-loading system was adopted, and high-quality projection was achieved with a newly designed sharp zoom lens, as well as a 21.5V 150W high-efficiency lamp with built-in cold mirror. Main controls were aligned rationally on one side. Other high-performance features included broad-range speed adjustment, high-speed rewinding and reverse projection, as well as easy operation.
