The Canon AT-1 is a 35mm film single-lens reflex (SLR) camera that was manufactured and released by Canon in the late 1970s. It is not easily categorized as it falls between the beginner-level Canon AE-1 and the more advanced Canon A-1. The AT-1 features a fully manual exposure control system, allowing photographers to manually adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and focus. It is equipped with a focal plane shutter with speeds ranging from 1 to 1/1000 seconds, plus a Bulb mode for long exposures. The camera offers a through-the-lens (TTL) exposure metering system which aids in achieving accurate exposures. Featuring a sturdy and durable construction, the AT-1 is designed to withstand regular use. Its body is primarily made of metal, ensuring its longevity and reliability. Moreover, it is compatible with a wide range of Canon FD lenses, offering photographers flexibility in their choice of optics. The AT-1 is also equipped with a hot shoe for attaching an external flash and a synchronizing socket for connecting other flash units or accessories. It utilizes a center-weighted metering system which provides reliable light meter readings. Despite its lack of automatic exposure modes and other advanced features, the Canon AT-1 remains a popular choice among photographers who prefer full manual control and value its simplicity and robustness.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Canon AT-1 below.

How do I load film into the Canon AT-1?

Make sure you are in a well-lit area and follow these steps: open the back of the camera by pulling up the rewind knob, place the film cassette in the left side of the camera, pull the film leader across to the right side and insert it into the take-up spool, advance the film a few frames until it catches onto the spool, close the back of the camera, and finally, advance the film until the frame counter shows "1."

What shutter speed should I use for a moving subject?

To capture a moving subject with minimal blurriness, consider using a fast shutter speed like 1/500th of a second or faster. This will freeze the motion and result in a sharp image.

How can I adjust the exposure on the Canon AT-1?

The Canon AT-1's exposure can be adjusted by using the camera's exposure control system, which consists of the aperture priority mode. Rotate the aperture ring on the lens to select the desired aperture value, and the camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed accordingly.

How do I know if the battery is low on my Canon AT-1?

If you notice that the LED meter in the viewfinder gradually becomes dimmer or fails to light up, it is an indication that the battery is running low and needs to be replaced. This could affect the camera's exposure metering capability.

What should I do if the film advance lever gets stuck?

If the film advance lever gets stuck, try gently pressing down on the rewind release button, located on the bottom of the camera, while simultaneously turning the film advance lever in the direction of the arrow until it releases. This should allow the lever to move freely again. If the issue persists, it might require professional servicing.
