By new production methods and the

adoption

of

highly

advanced

packaging

techniques in the manufacture of electronic
circuitry, the vital parts were completely
sealed to keep out dust and humidity and

reduce the effects of temperature.

Weather Proofing

The 1C and resistance circuits were built

as units. Not only was the wiring stream­

lined to increase efficiency, but also the new

modular joints and all other main parts were

completely sealed to obtain the best possible
weather proofing.

Shutter Priority System to Let No
Chance Go By

This camera automatically decides the

correct diaphragm opening of the lens you are
using according to the light the subject is

reflecting, once the shutter speed has been
previously set. This is the meaning of shutter

speed priority. The structure of all FD lenses
allows the AE-1 to couple with the functions
of the shutter speed priority. Therefore, as

you compose the picture, you can freely
choose the shutter speed that corresponds to
the speed at which the subject is moving.
