MOTORIZED FILM WINDING
There remains one last mechanical operation
in the A-1 that could possibly distract your
attention from your subject: you have to
wind the film. Canon has solved that pro·
blem for you too. With the Canon Power
Winder A, the Power Winder A2, and the
Motor Drive MA automaically wind the film
and recock the shutter without your ever
having to touch the film advance lever, all
even when you arc using the A-1 in an AE
mode (except for stopped-down AE).
The Motor Drive MA is a compact, high-
performance device, offering a selection of
three speed settings: H(max. 5fps), L(max.
3.5fps) and S(singlc fram e). With the
Battery Pack MA, the unusually high speed
(H) is instantly accessible for those fast-
breaking situations. For maximum ease of
operation, ther is a selection of three shutter
buttons depending on how the camera is
hand-held.
Both the Motr Drive MA and the Power
Winder A2 feature remote control with the
Remote Switch (3 or 60} or the Wireless
Controller LC-1.
All three accessories stop automatically at
the end of the film at which time an LED
glows steadily to tell you that the roll is
completed. They mount onto the A-1 with
ease, and, even when mounted, can simply
be switched off to wind the film manually.
