Canon 199 A - Manual (Page 14)

Setting on the Cameras for Completely
Automatic Flash Photography
For the A-1, AE-1, AE-1 PROGRAM or New
F-1 (in the shutter-priority mode) mounted
with FD Lenses the camera should be left
in the AE mode when the 199A is used.
With the lighting up of the pilot lamp, the
camera automatically switches over to flash
circuit. The shutter speed as well as f/stop is
automatically set. In the case of the AL-1,
AV-1 and New F-1 (in the aperture-priority
mode), shutter speed is automatically set
while f/stop is set manually on the aperture
ring.
Preparations
1. Keep the aperture ring of the lens set at
the ‘A’ marie. For the AL-1, AV-1 and New
F-1 (in the aperture-priority mode), f/stop
need to be set manually on the aperture
ring.
2. In the case of A-1 it does not matter if
the AE mode selector is set at Av or Tv.
It also does not matter where the AT dial
is set.
3. For lighter background in flash photog­
raphy, user has the choice of setting shutter
speed slower than the X-sync speed for A-1
and New F-1 (see page 23).
4. In the case of AE-1, it does not matter
where the shutter speed is set while the
aperture ring of the lens is to be set at the
‘A’ mark.
5. In the case of AV-1, AL-1, the Selector
Dial is to be set at the ‘A’ mark.
