For the easiest possible flash photography
with
the AE-1 PROGRAM, Canon offers nine Speed-
lites.
With
an
FD
lens set
to
the
"A"
mark, the
shutter speed switches
to
1/
60
sec. and the
aperture
to
the auto aperture set on the flash
automatically
when the pilot lamp
glows
.
After
shutter release, the camera switches
automatic-
ally
to
normal
AE
photography
until the pilot
lamp
glows
again.
Canon's
most
powerful
Speedlites, the
577G
and
533G
each use a quick-release grip and a
separate sensor
which
, seated
in
the camera's
accessory shoe, ensures correct exposure even
when the
flash head is tilted or swung. The
A-series
Speed lites slide directly into the acces-
sory shoe.
When
using any
of
these Speed lites, a green
LED
display lights up
in
the
viewfinder
of
the AE-1
79
PROGRAM the
moment
the flash unit is charged.
And, when using the
Speed lite
188A
or
1
66A
,
that
same
LED
display will flash on and
off
for
two
seconds
after
you take a picture
to
confirm
correct exposure. No
other
flash units
offer
these
features.
You
can also
switch
to
manual flash
photography
with
six out
of
these eight Speed-
lites.
When
you are finished using the flash, you can
shoot
normally while the flash
or
sensor is still
mounted simply by turning
off
the flash
unit's
main
switch
.
With
seven units available, you have a wide
range
of
features
to
choose from. The table on
page
80
and
81
lists some
of
the
most
impor-
tant.
