CANON AE-1

  • 742 photos

The Canon AE-1 is a 35mm SLR film camera that was introduced by Canon in 1976. Its name refers to the fact that it's an electronic camera using the aperture for automatic exposure (shutter speed priority). It uses an electronically controlled, electromagnet horizontal cloth focal plane shutter, with a speed range of 2 to 1/1000 second plus Bulb and flash X-sync of 1/60 second. The AE-1 was the vanguard of the landmark Canon amateur level A-series SLRs and led Canon's foray into the emerging electronically controlled SLR market. Most are silver, with black grip and chrome trim, but some are black with silver and trim. The AE-1 is a reliable and easy to use camera that is suitable for both beginners and experienced photographers.
