Canon AE-1 User Manual

Composition
Since the AE-1 has automatic exposure
control with shutter priority, you can con-
centrate
on the actual picture you are going to
take without worrying about exposure differ-
ences that may occur with changing subjects.
Viewing
is performed through the lens, and
there
is no difference between the viewfinder
image and the image exposed on the film, as
opposed to the image provided by a separate
viewfinder which
is affected by the parallax
between the viewfinder and the camera lens.
