MOTORIZED FILM WINDING
There remains one last mechanical operation in the A-1 that could possibly distract your attention from your subject: you have to wind the film. Canon has solved that problem for you too. With the Canon Power Winder A, the Power Winder A2, and the Motor Drive MA automate ally wind the film and recock the shutter without your ever having to touch the film advance lever, all even when you are using the A-1 in an AE mode (except for stopped-down AE). The Motor Drive MA is a compact, high- performance device, offering a selection of three speed settings: H(max. 5fps), L(max. 3.5fps) and S(single frame). With the Battery Pack MA, the unusually high speed
(H)is instantly accessible for those fast- breaking situations. For maximum ease of operation, there is a selection of three shutter buttons depending on how the camera is hand-held.
Both the Motor Drive MA and the Power Winder A2 feature remote control with the Remote Switch (3 or 60) or the Wireless Controller LC-1.
All three accessories stop automatically at the end of the film at which time an LED glows steadily to tell you that the roll is completed. They mount onto the A-1 with ease, and, even when mounted, can simply be switched off to wind the film manually.
