ive got an old canon ae-1 non-program, and im haveing
a few problems with it, first off, i think something
is wrong with the shutter button, because whenever a
battery is in the cammera, the meter inside the vewfinder
lites up and tells me what to set the speed to, even
when i dont press the shutter button half way down, so
all my batteries die :(, second for some reasion i cant
get the shutter to close when i take pictures with out
pressing the battery check button, im not sure if i have
some setting wrong(im new to the AE-1, and photography in
general) any ideas on this would be greatly apreacieated
thanks for your time
please dont email me, for some reasion i am not able to
my hotmail at the moment, thanks for your time and help
