The Canon AE‑1 is a legendary 35 mm SLR film camera that helped define the classic era of photography, offering a user-friendly blend of electronic shutter-priority exposure and full manual control. Built with a durable metal and plastic body, it features a Canon FD lens mount, a horizontal cloth focal-plane shutter with speeds from 2 s to 1/1000 s plus Bulb, and an X-sync flash speed of 1/60 s. Its TTL (Through‑The‑Lens) metering system delivers reliable exposure control using a center-weighted silicon photocell. With a film speed range of ISO 25–3200, a built-in 10-second self-timer, and robust build quality at just 590 g, the AE‑1 remains a popular choice for film photography beginners and vintage camera collectors alike.
