An improved version of the unique Dial 35 camera. The power source for the exposure meter was changed from MP to an HD 1.3 V mercury cell. The film speed range was expanded to ISO 10 – 1000 (ISO 8 – 500 with the old model). The spring motor capacity was also increased to improve film advance performance.
The hand strap was attached to the grip. Also, the Canon DIAL 35-2 designation and distance index were on a single, black plate to distinguish the camera from the original Dial 35 camera.
