Canon AE-1 - Manual (Page 110)

Canon Power Winder A
The Canon Power Winder A is an auto­
matic film winder which makes the functions
of automatic photography of the Canon AE-1
outstandingly effective. It can be attached to
any Canon AE-1 directly, without any other
accessory or attachment. When you attach the
Power Winder A to the Canon AE-1 and press
the shutter button, the film will be im­
mediately wound after being exposed.
Furthermore, with the Power Winder A you
can catch subjects' movements and changing
expressions because you are able to take
continuous or single frame photography at
your pleasure. When you perform continuous
photography, the Power Winder A couples
with shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/1000
seconds while, in single frame photography,
any shutter speed can be used.
The Canon AE-1 is a very compact,
lightweight camera whose main functions
respond to the electronic circuitry built into
the camera body. It is possible to photograph
just the same as in general photograph even
when the Canon Power Winder A is attached.
