Specifications

Controlled by the AE-1 PROGRAM's microcomputer, these accessories expand the
AE-1 Program's shooting versatility and handling ease.
Attached to the AE-1 PROGRAM, this accessory advances the film, readying the
camera for the next shot automatically. Lightweight and compact, the Power Winder
A2 is very effective in capturing a subject's movement. Simply set the main switch to
"C", hold in the shutter button, and you can shoot at about two frames per second at
any shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/1000 sec.; single frame shooting is possible at any
shutter speed when the main switch is set to "S". Since the Power Winder A2 is
equipped with a socket for remote control, remote controlled shooting is possible with
Canon Remote Switch 3 or 60, the Interval Timer TM-1 Quartz or the Wireless
Controller LC-1.
Note: The original Canon Power Winder A can be also used with this
camera. Both continuous and singleframe shooting modes are
controlled by use of the camera's shutter button. But remote control
photography is not possible with the earlier Power Winder A.
Motor Drive MA This accessory will enhance the versatility of the AE-1 PROGRAM.
At the Motor Drive MA's maximum speed, you can shoot continuously at four frames
per second. Especially suited for fast-moving subjects, this accessory can freeze
action at its peak. Continuous shooting capability at about 4 fps or single frame
shooting is possible as well.
A choice of three shutter buttons
ensures the utmost in handling ease
when shooting in either the
horizontal or vertical format. A
choice of two power sources, Battery
Pack MA and Ni-Cd Pack MA, is
available.
Note: The usable shutter speeds at the "L"
and "H" positions are 1/60 - 1/1000 sec.
