Film Advance and Shutter Release
Turn the film advance lever until it stops,
so the film will advance one frame all in one
motion. The shutter will cock, and the dia
phragm and mirror will be ready for the next
shutter release, while the frame couriter
advances simultaneously to the next number.
By pushing the film advance lever lightly with
the tip of your thumb, it will open to its 30°
stand-off position away from the camera body
for easy film advance.
While the film is advancing, the shutter will
not be released. Film winding can also be
accomplished by advancing the lever in short
strokes.
Canon has developed the Power Winder A
to be used with the AT-1 for automatic film
winding. It greatly increases the speed and
mobility of the AT-1.
