automatic electronic flash unit designed for

AE flash photography with Canon A-1, AE-1,

AE-1 PROGRAM. AL-1, AV-1, and New F-1

cameras. The Speedlite 199A has a unique
function which sends signals to the camera
and automatically sets the shutter speed and
f/stop.
In the case of AL-1, AV-1, and New F-1 (in
the aperture-priority and manual modes),

f/stop is set manually on the aperture ring to
same f/stop set on flash. Though it is of the

hot shoe type, this flash unit has a large light
output and increases the freedom of flash

photography with shutter speed selection

switch, tilting head, and with the joint use

of accessory motor drive or winder.

world in the electronic flash circuit. Together

PROGRAM, AL-1, AV-1, and New F-1, this

Speedlite 199A can be used as an ordin^

automatic electronic flash unit, i.e. setting
both the aperture on the lens and shutter
speed on the camera manually.
