IMPORTANT-READ THIS NOTICE
You are the new owner of a Canon AV-1.
The AV-1 is an aperture priority automatic
exposure (AE), single-lens reflex (SLR)
camera. What this means is that this camera
is simplicity itself to operate while it gives
professional-looking pictures. All you have
to do is:
1) Mount the lens (pp. 12-14).
2) Load and check the battery (pp. 16-18).
3) Follow the simple steps in the chapter
entitled ‘‘General Usage”.
Once you have done these three things, you
will know all you absolutely have to know to
take beautiful pictures.
The chapter entitled “Applied Usage” is for
reference when you want to do something
special or when you want to know a little
more about photography. Use it as you need it.
To avoid wasting good film, it is a good idea
to play with the camera a little before loading
your first roll. Operate the shutter release
button and the film advance lever (page 19)
and practice holding the camera properly
(page 30) until everything seems natural.
Now dig in and, above all, enjoy yourself.
Welcome to the Canon world of photography.
Fold out both front and back nomenclature pages for easy reference while reading the instructions.

Whether you want to shoot a large number of
people in a small room or a bird's nest at a far
distance, there is a Canon FD lens to solve
your problem. You can fill your picture with
a small flower or insect using some com
bination of over thirty close-up accessories.
If you have a special problem with viewing or
focusing, there are accessories to make that
easier too.
