Automatic Flash Photography

For the A-1, AE-1, AE-1 PROGRAM or New
F-1 (in the shutter-priority mode) mounted

with FD Lenses the camera should be left

in the AE mode when the 199A is used.

With the lighting up of the pilot lamp, the

camera automatically switches over to flash

circuit. The shutter speed as well as f/stop is

automatically set. In the case of the AL-1,

AV-1 and New F-1 (in the aperture-priority

mode), shutter speed is automatically set

while f/stop is set manually on the aperture
ring.

Preparations

the ‘A’ marie. For the AL-1, AV-1 and New
