Accessories Guide I
Interchangeable lenses open limitless
new avenues to picture taking — from
the expansive world of panoramas to the
intricacies of closeups. With Canon ac-
cessories, you can discover even more.
Like Canon FD lenses, Canon accesso-
ries form an incomparable match with
Canon SLRs in terms of performance,
precision, and reliability.
Power Winder A2
You won't miss another shot with a
Canon power winder attached to your
SLR. This accessory has become essen-
tial for sports, wildlife, and fashion
photographers. The power winder is
compact, easily mounted, and increases
your versatility especially when used
together with a zoom lens. The Canon
Power Winder A2 (for "A" series SLR
cameras) automatically advances the
film at a rate of approximately two
frames per second as long as the shutter
button is held down. When a roll of film
has been completely exposed or the bat-
tery drops below the minimum operating
voltage, an automatic stop circuit turns
the winder off and a red LED lights as a
warning.

Speedlite 188A/166A
These two automatic flash units are
great companions for Canon "A" series
cameras. With these cameras (except for
the AL-1 and AV-1), aperture is automatic-
ally adjusted to a predetermined value as
soon as charging is complete. And as
long as the shutter speed dial is not posi-
tioned at "B," all A-series cameras
automatically set the shutter speed to
1/60 sec. (synch speed), even if you leave
the dial at another setting. The 188A
and 166A, when attached to the AE-1
PROGRAM, inform you when the flash is
charged, and provide a signal for auto-
exposure confirmation as well. 188A, with
a guide number of 25 (ISO 100-m) and
166A, with a guide number of 20 (ISO
100-m), both give an angle of illumination
sufficient to cover a 35mm lens's angle of
view. Aside from these, Canon's powerful,
professional grip-type flash units 577G
and 533G may be used for high-technique
flash photography. The 199A, a clip-on
type unit, is especially suited to the A-1.
