Canon Speedlite 155A, the World's First AE Computer Flash Benefiting with the CAT

system used in the professional F-1 model, a new automatic flash system was refined from the

earlier technology used, in which a dedicated flash unit, like the Speedlite 155A is used with

the AE-1, flash photography can be performed with the aperture ring set at the "A" mark for

automatic exposure. When the pilot lamp lights to indicate the proper charging level has been

reached, the shutter speed is automatically set (1/60 sec) and the aperture automatically

determined. After the flash, the camera returns to its original AE setting.

Data Imprinting Mechanism The film back of the AE-1 is a removable part. The Data Back

A, an optional accessory when attached in place of the AE-1's normal back cover, can directly

imprint the date and other information on the negative or slide film at the very moment the

picture is taken. This information is imprinted in the lower right hand corner of the picture

and is most convenient for keeping track of the dates of your photographs or classifying them

in general. However, there was a little mistake made when the design was adopted, nothing

relative to mechanical or electronic flaws - but an oversight which Canon didn't expect that

the databack will be so 'lasting' - the input numerals for the 'year' on the first control wheel

was provided until the year of 1987 only.

However, if compared with the Databack produced by competing manufacturers like Nikon's

MF-12 for the FE, where the LCD version has digits that lasts until the year 2019, the Canon

has some advantages by way of its Roman numerals from I to X, some used it to solve the

problem, of which current years could be indicated by the Roman numeral for the second

digit. The second wheel can be used for months, but also has numbers from 1 up to 31 as well

as letters from A to G. The third wheel has numbers from 0 to 31. As with the other earlier

databacks, you need to plug a short cable which came from the left-hand side of the Data

Back A into the PC terminal socket on the AE-1 camera for proper operation. Well, if you

wish to use the Data Back A and a non-hot shoe flash at the same time, you must plug the PC

cord from the flash into the PC socket on the Data Back A.

There is no doubt that AE-1 has helped Canon shoot to the top as a major

35mm SLR camera manufacturer, with some original ideas such as

automatic film advance devices using a power winder, a convenient and

economical accessory in photography. The Power Winder A, extremely

easy to attach, enables the AE-1 to photograph continuously at up to 2

frames per second. This feature is enhanced by the fact that actual

handling of the AE-1 is very much the same with or without this

accessory attached.
