The AE-1 Program is a 35mm SLR camera made by Canon in 1981. Canon describes it as a successor to the enormously successful AE-1, released five years earlier.[1] Many users wanted the program auto exposure mode found on the A-1, whereas the AE-1 has only shutter-priority AE (and metered-manual exposure); so when designing its successor, Canon added a program AE mode, and the AE-1 Program became even more popular than the AE-1. Canon also upgraded the available power winder (winder A2 replacing the A1), and the camera can also be used with Motor Drive MA.[1] The camera also has the A-1's 'Action Grip', the detachable (and so frequently lost) grip on the front right of the body.
