About this item

  • Program Mode: This mode is particularly appealing for beginners, allowing the camera to automatically select the optimal shutter speed and aperture based on the lighting conditions. This helps ensure correctly exposed images without the need for intricate settings.
  • Manual and Shutter-Priority Modes: More advanced photographers can switch to manual mode for full control over exposure settings or use shutter-priority mode to set the shutter speed while the camera calculates the appropriate aperture.
  • TTL Metering: The center-weighted TTL metering system provides accurate exposure readings by measuring light through the lens, adapting well to various shooting environments.
  • Interchangeable Lenses: With compatibility for Canon’s FD lens mount, the AE-1 Program supports a wide variety of lenses, from standard zooms to specialty lenses like macros and telephotos, enhancing creative possibilities.
  • Built-in Features: The camera includes a self-timer, depth of field preview button, and a hot shoe for flash attachments, offering versatility for different shooting scenarios.


The Canon AE-1 Program is a 35 mm single-lens reflex camera that uses Canon's FD mount lenses. It was introduced in 1981 as the successor to the Canon AE-1, five years after that camera's introduction. The major difference was the addition of the Program AE mode first seen in the A-1. This mode sets both the shutter speed and aperture automatically, albeit with a slight bias towards the shutter speed setting. The user focuses the camera and then presses the shutter button. For those desiring more control, the AE-1's shutter priority auto-exposure and full manual modes are still available.

Camera was in excellent condition. The only thing missing was the grip And a plug forthe flash.

Cosmetically this was in worse condition than I expected. Also the battery cover grip in the photo wasn’t included nor a lens cap for the body. I returned this. I gave three stars because I did shoot a roll of film through the camera and it seemed to be functioning well.
