Battery disposal
Information on the disposal of old batteries
The following notice is intended for those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and no longer resell them in the form in which they were delivered (end users):
1. Free return of used batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries to ensure proper disposal. You can dispose of them at a municipal collection point or at a local retailer. As a battery distributor, we are also obligated to take back used batteries. However, our obligation to take back is limited to used batteries of the type that we carry or have carried as new batteries in our product range. You can therefore either return used batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge at our shipping warehouse at the address listed in the imprint.
2. Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005 percent mercury by mass, more than 0.002 percent cadmium by mass, or more than 0.004 percent lead by mass, the chemical name of the pollutant used is located below the wheeled bin symbol – where "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.

Description
Canon A-1 (A1) 35mm SLR Camera, Body
Condition and Limitations
Condition: used, acceptable.
The camera is used and shows more pronounced signs of wear, such as scratches, paint wear, or wear on the body.
With the Canon A-1, you are not limited to a single way of shooting. The analog SLR camera offers program automatic exposure, shutter and aperture priority, and manual exposure. This allows you to work quickly depending on the subject or consciously control the shutter speed and aperture.
What Sets the A-1 Apart
The A-1 uses 35mm film and exposes the classic 24 × 36mm format. A suitable FD lens determines the angle of view and aperture. The film is advanced by hand after each shot and rewound at the end of the roll. Unlike a digital camera, you will only see the finished image after development.
Four Ways to Achieve the Right Exposure
In program automatic exposure, the camera selects the shutter speed and aperture. This is helpful if you want to simplify exposure selection at first. Focusing and film advance remain your responsibility.
With Tv, you set the shutter speed, while the camera determines the aperture. A short shutter speed can freeze motion, while a longer one makes motion blur visible. With Av, you select the aperture on the body; the camera selects the shutter speed. Together with the focal length and shooting distance, the aperture influences the depth of field.
For manual exposure, you set the shutter speed and aperture yourself. The center-weighted TTL metering helps assess the light entering through the lens. Regularly coupled FD lenses are measured with the aperture wide open. For automatic operation, the aperture ring of the suitable FD lens must be correctly set to automatic.
Focusing and Composing Deliberately
The A-1 is a camera with manual focusing. The SLR viewfinder with split image and microprisms assists with focusing; red LEDs display exposure values. The electronically controlled shutter ranges from 30 seconds to 1/1000 second, supplemented by B. This makes both short shutter speeds and longer exposures available. A specific image sharpness cannot be inferred from this alone.
Which Lens and Battery Are Required?
The A-1 has a Canon FD mount for suitable FD/New FD lenses. EF, EF-S, and RF are different systems and do not fit directly. General compatibility with all older Canon lenses is therefore also not guaranteed.
The camera requires a suitable 6V battery, such as a 4LR44. Manual operation also depends on the battery. For shooting, you need a suitable lens, 35mm film, and a suitable battery. The exact scope of delivery is stated separately.
