INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You are now the owner of
the most exciting and advanced camera on
the market. Canon has good reason to have
unbounded confidence and pride in the A-1.
Embodied in this camera are the qualities of
the finest SLR cameras and into it went the
most sophisticated electronics technology
available in the world today. Incorporating
at least 20 novel technologies never before
used in a camera, your A-1 is capable of
operating in five distinct AE modes–all with
an incredibly high degree of precision,
reliability and ease of operation. A simple
flick of a single switch will put you in any
one of the AE modes. Simple manual
operation is also possible. With its many AE
functions, the A-1 is not only the perfect
tool in the hands of a professional but easy
enough to operate even for novices. Even
the A-1's system accessories are integrated
into its pulse-controlled, digital computer
system so that you can enjoy AE flash and
motorized AE photography. In the A-1,
Canon finally offers you a multifunctional
AE camera that actually gives you more
creative freedom through more control.
You will find that your A-1 has many
unusual features. For the fullest under-
standing of and benefit from your A-1,
please read this instruction booklet -
carefully as you familiarize yourself with
the camera. For the convenience of non-
experts, we have included as many
photographic hints and facts as space
allowed. We at Canon hope your new A-1
will open to you a whole new world of
photography, whether as profession or
avocation.
