AE-1 PROGRAM, along side with the five AE modes' Canon A-1, was one of the two best featured Canon A series models. It was a high performance SLR camera that offers you plenty of creative freedom through its many functional features incorporated within. It can be used in three automatic exposure (AE) modes: Programmed AE, Shutter-speed priority AE, or Flash AE. Manual override - where you set everything on your own with the precision of timing assured by the stable and reliable electronics provided by the camera body.
