Canon AL-1 qF: Focusing aid with arrows. Everything about the camera and its function

Canon AL-1 qF: Focusing aid with arrows. Everything about the camera and its function in this video.
The Canon A- 1 was introduced in 1982. A year earlier, Canon introduced the nFD 4.0 35-70mm with built-in autofocus, followed in 1985 by the first and last Canon SLR for the Canon FD system, the Canon T 80. However, it required special A C lenses for the autofocus function; all other FD or nFD lenses could be used without autofocus.
But in this video we take a look at Canon's milestone on the way to the EOS: The Canon AL-1.
You'll learn all about this camera, its features and how to use it.

Hey, i have one of these passed down from my gramps. Thanks for the video I'm hoping to use it and haver some fun

[@LauraTolbert-mk3fc]

How or where did you have the battery part repaired?

[@apertureonepointfour]

I have already bought this camera model repaired in this way. Alternatively, you can also use a winder to push the fastener of the holder into the correct position.

Pound, not ounce!
