Mounting the Lens
I
Remove the body cap and mount the lens
onto the camera. The lens is mounted by
aligning the red dot of the body with the red
dot of the bayonet ring, and then turning the
bayonet ring clockwise, pressing gently until it
locks into position. Reverse the procedure to
dismount the lens.

Setting the Aperture Ring to the
"A" Mark
The AE-1 delivers perfect AE photo
graphy when the aperture ring is set for
automatic exposure. The "A" mark on the
aperture ring should be set to the EE position.
Hold in the EE lock pin while turning the
aperture ring to the "A" mark. This can be
done either before or after the lens is
mounted on the camera.
