Congratulations on your pur-
chase
of a Canon AE-1.
We
know that you are anxious to
start taking pictures with it
.
Our first hint for taking great
ones
is
to read these instruc-
tions.
Follow
the steps in
order

become well
ac-
quainted

Then, once you have a good
understanding
of

I,
move on to PART II.
It con-
tains a
lot
of
information
you
won't
find
elsewhere.
The
brief time spent

is

investment
in satisfaction and
enjoyment
