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.
