It incorporated a CdS light sensor on the left side of the camera under the rewind knob. Then, six months later, Canon introduced a less expensive version of the FX, the FP, which had no light meter. It was a purely manual camera that required the use of an external light meter. There is no fungus or haze in the viewfinder or in the lens.
