This battery will fit Canon A series cameras. Power is supplied for the equivalent normal use period of eight to twelve months. It will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately. It was manufactured by Canon Camera K. The battery level is checked by pressing the battery check button on the top of the camera while watching the meter needle in the view- finder. If the meter needle rests below the index mark or 5.
If the meter needle rests above the index mark ask the lab aide to replace the battery for you. The K is an almost-all metal, mechanically springs, gears, levers controlled, manual-focus SLR with manual-exposure control. It is completely operable without batteries. Batteries are only required one A76 or S76, or LR44 or SR44, silver oxide or for the light metering information in the viewfinder.
The Canon AE-1 is a 35mm format film-based camera. Much of the photographic world is 35mm-centric based on the huge success of the 35mm film format, going back to the s and Leica. The AE-1 is a shutter priority mode only camera. With the viewfinder display lever switched on, you can take a meter reading in any one of three ways: Depress the shutter button halfway. Press in the exposure preview switch.
There is a website called Lenstag. IF the original owner registered the camera and IF the person who lost it reported it then you would know. You may have to hold the camera under a strong light to see it. How old is my camera or lens? Canon EOS products often have date codes stamped onto them. These alphanumeric codes are separate from the numeric serial number and are usually hidden away somewhere — inside the film chamber of most cameras or on the black light baffle on the underside of many lenses.
One of the prime reasons that the AE-1 is so much fun is its viewfinder. It really goes back to the basics. The shutter will be released automatically ten seconds later. The K has minimal power needs. It has a manual shutter release and manual film advance. It requires one 1. The mechanical B and X settings are usable without batteries , however.

How do I check the battery on my AE-1? How do you charge a Canon A1? How old is my Canon A1? The Canon A-1 is an advanced-level single-lens reflex SLR 35 mm film camera for use with interchangeable lenses. Just keep going with the photography until the battery totally dies.
By the way, for readers who may not know, the Silver Oxide battery will die suddenly when it becomes depleted, whereas the Alkaline will slowly decline in power until its inability to operate the camera.
Exposures will not be affected by either battery type as they decline in power. Thirty years ago I learned a very valuable lesson about carrying spare batteries when a battery died on me suddenly and I had no spare. Sunday, no stores open in the area. I had been certain that my AE-1's battery had plenty of life left in it.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. Right now - two days later after installing fresh batteries, as described the battery check button makes one long beep and then stops beeping whatsoever, as if out of power. I have film in the camera, took a few shots yesterday, everything seemed normal in terms of metering and shutter speed. Should I just completely ignore the battery check button?
I'm interested to know if this is a normal thing that happens with Alkaline batteries in these cameras. Jos - I use a converter which basically looks like a 6v battery, so contact areas are the same, if I understand you correctly. I have never heard of a really lengthy beep as you describe. This concerns me a bit. You should be able to leave the camera like that virtually for a year or more as the current draw is so tiny.
If the battery runs down in a few days or so, you definitely have an electrical issue with the camera. It can sit powered up "virtually forever" well not really, but for all practical purposes and not run the battery down as long as nothing is half-way pressing the shutter release button.
Keep us apprised so we can continue to offer any further assistance. It is even better than what Keith wrote, since the Canon AE-1 program does not use ANY electricity unless you touch the shutter release. This is why those cams can sit for years without losing power.
I have had my one for 30 years now and I can't recall changing the battery more than 3 times. Could it be that you SEEm to hear one beep which is actually a rapid succession of single beeps?
It's just one single beep. If I keep pressing the button over and over it eventually stops as if the battery doesn't have any power left. The meter still seems to be working though, will let you know in the following days if the shutter stops working when I have time to finish shooting the roll of film that's in there right now.
I think I'll also try to find a Lithium or Silver Oxide battery to replace the Alkaline that's in there right now. I had a similar issue with brand new Alkaline batteries in a Nikon FE where after a few days the batt check light stopped flashing The camera needs 6V, and any way you can supply it is fine.
I always taped 4 of those 1. Worked a treat. Get a cheap volt meter and make sure your battery is up to snuff. Some new batteries have sat on the shelves in stores and are not 6V. Hi Guys, tested the camera yesterday, shutter still fires fine, light meter seems to be working.
The batt test button makes one beep then goes silent. Steve - I wrote before that the guy at the store checked the batteries with a volt meter and they were at full charge. Can anyone using Alkaline batteries tell me if they've experienced anything similar with the batt.
I'm having trouble finding 6v. Silver Oxide batteries where I live. I've found Lithium batteries, so might try 4 of these with the adapter I was talking about.
Just got 4x Silver Oxide batteries. I'm using the same adapter as the LR44s and the batt. Will update if I start seeing similar issues. If not, the problem must be with using Alkaline batteries. Could anyone share whether their AE1 Program batt. Once again about batteries for the AE Max, you really need to get the proper batteries for your camera. As to the 's, they have an output of mAh. The LR44's are not much different. A stack of small 's or LR44's is not going to supply the higher pulses of current the camera needs for some of its operations.
You are creating issues by attempting to use improper batteries. Correct battery types will solve the slow or no beeping issues. You are only going to continue having issues with the incorrect batteries.
I ran a test today with my two AE-1P's. I do not know. And as to the store checking your batteries with a "voltmeter," this CAN be a misleading effort. Non-fresh batteries can measure at or near full voltage, BUT the voltage can drop severely with a small load applied.
