Congratulations upon the purchase of
your new Canon AT -1, a remarkably
advanced camera
that reflects the latest
trends in SLR photography. As a
flawless
product of Canon technology,
its vast potential
as a rewarding means
of expression is assured for years to
come by an incomparable system of
fine lenses and accessories.
At an extremely reasonable price, the
Canon AT-1 offers you
TTL Central
Emphasis Metering plus many
of the
superb advantages enjoyed by
users of
its all-electronic counterpart, the Canon
AE-1. Its fabulous electronic system
consisting
of the Power Winder A for
continuous rapid-fire shooting, the
Speedlite
155A for perfectly synchro-
nized flash shooting and the Data Back
A
for automatic data imprinting give
the AT-1 unsurpassably versatile per-
formance.
Similarly, you have the
entire system
of superior FD inter-
changeable
lenses at your disposal
which enable metering at
full aperture.
But perhaps most conspicuous is the
absence
of mechanical noise that is
characteristic
of conventional SLRs.
The
AT -1 incorporates a wonderfully
silent electromagnetic release, in
addition to a 10-second electronic self-
timer,
for perfectly vibrationless
operation. Moreover, you
will surely
find the Canon AT -1, with its
extremely compact and lightweight
body to be one of the easiest to operate
cameras ever.
In order
to derive full benefit from the
many features the
AT -1 affords, please
take the time to read and understand
the
following instructions. Canon
remains always ready
to lend you its·
support in the
future with a system of
lenses and accessories unequaled the
world over.
