&Mt MOTORIZED FILM WINDING There remains one last mechanical operation in the A-I that could possibly distract your attention from your subject: you have to wind the film. Canon has solved that problem for you too. Both the miniaturized Canon Power Winder A. originally designed for the AE-I, and the Canon Motor Drive MA, specially developed as a natural ex- tension of the A-I's AE possibilities, automatically wind the film and rccock 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, highperformance device employing Monolithic IC and an electromagnetic clutch. It offers a selection of three speed settings: H (max. 5 fps), L (max. 5.5 fps) and S (single frame). With the Battery Pack MA. the unusually high speed (H) is instantly accessible for those fast-breaking situations. For maximum case of operation, there is also a selection of three shutter buttons depending on how the camera is hand-held. Both 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-I with ease, and, even when mounted, can simply be switched off to wind the film manually.

MOTORIZED
FILM
WINDING
There
remains
one
last
mechanical
operation
in
the
A
-I
that
could
possibly
distract
your
attention
from
your
subject:
you
have
to
wind
the
film.
Canon
has
solved
that
problem
for
you
too.
Both
the
miniaturized
Canon
Power
Winder
A.
originally
designed
for
the
AE
-I,
and
the
Canon
Motor
Drive
MA,
specially
developed
as
a
natural
ex-
tension
of
the
A
-I's
AE
possibilities,
auto-
matically
wind
the
film
and
rccock
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).
Th
e
Motor
Drive
MA
is
a
compact,
high-
performance
device
employing
Monolithic
IC
and
an
electromagnetic
clutch.
It
offers
a
selection
of
three
speed
settings:
H
(max.
5
fps),
L
(max.
5.5
fps)
and
S
(single
frame).
With
the
Battery
Pack
MA.
the unusually
high
speed
(H)
is
instantly
accessible
for
those
fast
-breaking
situations.
For
maximum
case
of
operation,
there
is
also
a
selection
of
three
shutter
buttons
depending
on
how
the
camera
is
hand-held.
Both
accessories
stop
automatically
at
the
end
of
the
film
at
which
time
an
LED
glows
steadily
to
tell
you
that
the
roll
is
complet-
ed.
They
mount
onto
the
A
-I
with
ease,
and,
even
when
mounted,
can
simply
be
switched
off
to
wind
the
film
manually.
