The new, sensational Canon AE -1 and its fully auto-
mated system can give you all -electronic control with
one finger. The AE -1 has adopted electronically auto-
mated controls for faster performance and more reliable
service than conventional mechanical controls. Its elec-
tronic circuitry employs I2L (Integrated Injection
Logic) and, for the first time on the world, all camera
functions are governed by a Central Processing Unit
(CPU), the brain of this sophisticated electronic system.
As opposed to the conventional transmission of ex-
posure information by mechanical means, all infor-
mation is converted into electrical signals. Thus, the
CPU is able to extremely accurately process a complex
variety of information and, at the same time, issue com-
mands by regulating their execution. All in the very
same spit second. The AE -1's CPU control assures, that
every camera function totally responds to the actual
shooting conditions.
The AE -1 has many new, unique features, such as a
silent electromagnetic shutter release, immediate re-
sponse metering with shutter -speed priority, easy -to -
read exposure information right in the viewfinder, split-
second automatic exposure (AE) aperture setting, power
film winding at up to two frames per second with the
Power Winder A, perfect flash synchronization and
exposure with the Speedlite 155A, a 10 -second elec-
tronic self -timer, plus automatic data recording with the
Data Back A.
Another of Canon's electronic wonders, the AV -1 is
perfect for those wishing to make the leap into SLR
photography. That's because taking pictures with it is a
1-2-3 operation: set the aperture, focus and shoot. The
camera will select the shutter speed ensuring proper
exposure and making beautiful pictures possible by
anyone, of any age.
And as your photographic skills advance, you won't tire
of the AV -1, either. Consider that there are over 40
Canon lenses to choose from fish-eye to super tele-
photo. The vast majority of these are automatic and
even the ones that aren't can be used automatically due
to the AV -1's stop -down AE feature.
Then there is the Canon system of accessories. Not
only are there two great electronic flashes, the Speed -
lite 199A and 155A, plus the Power Winder A for 2
frames/sec. rapid sequence photography. But a whole
gamut of close up accessories can also be used with the
AV -1. In other words, this compact SLR can be your
life-long companion, regardless of where your creativity
takes you.
Along with its other special features - raised battery
cover for a better grip, simple -to -operate selector dial
and backlight control button - the automatic AV -1
will put you on the road to superb photography,
effortlessly and at a price you can afford.
