Thank you for posting this. Your posts elsewhere, plus this video, have convinced me to take my AE-1 Program and A-1 with me when we go on vacation, instead of my OM-1, OM-2, and OM-4. As someone said below, 'Your enthusiasm is contagious!'
Thanks! And that's one of the best things about being film photographers today--we can have a whole collection of vintage gear and part of the joy is choosing which cameras to take on an outing. Enjoy your vacation with the AE duo!
My first SLR was the AE-1 Program. I replaced it with an OM-4, but got another one eventually. The Canons are exactly as described in the video. I love my Nikons, but my Olympus cameras are my favourites.
I'd love to try Nikons, but I fear I might get push back from my better half if I get into a new system! The aperture thing really does seem to be a cost savings measure or a means of market stratification for these two cameras--that aperture lever on the back of the lens does indicate the selected value, and the more posh F1 had no issues reading the set aperture from FD lenses.
Yes, it needs to be continuously pressed. Those two little buttons are quite primitive: the taller button simply mimics the half-press of the shutter, showing the changing numbers as you move the camera, while the deeper button holds the aperture and shutter speeds until you release the button. Nothing more.

This dude has the best vibes
I worked for the Company that developed the electronics for the AE 1 TI in Dallas, Tx.
Super cool! Thanks for your part in developing such an iconic camera that has stood the test of time and is still going strong.
I never had a Canon SLR so this very alien to me. I think I will stick to Nikons! They know what aperture they in via their clever method of indexing.

Hi when re-composing the exposure lock should be continously pressed ? Thanks
