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.
