Data Back A; Angle Finders A2 And B - Canon AE-1 PROGRAM Instructions Manual

Data Back A
The Data Back replaces the AE-1 PROGRAM's
back cover in seconds where it records the date
in the lower right-hand corner of the photo auto-
matically at shutter release-or manually after-
wards if you wish. You can leave it attached even
when you are not using its data recording
feature. Date-guessing will become a thing of the
past. Since letters of the alphabet and Roman
numerals can also be recorded, it is also a con-
venient coder-a point of particular interest for
technical photographers.

Angle Finders A2 and B
There are some subjects which are uncomfort-
able to view directly through the eye-level view-
finder of the camera . This is particularly true in
such fields as close-up photography and photo-
macrography. In these cases, it might be more
convenient to view through an angle finder. Both
of these angle finders rotate
90°
for viewing
from above or from the side.
Angle Finder A2 gives a correct image top-to-
bottom, but is reversed left-to-right, while the
more sophisticated Angle Finder B gives a com-
pletely normal image. Both show the entire field
of view and viewfinder information.
