I just purchased from the original owner, a complete canon ae1 package, lady said it worked just fine. my question is: dos a battery need to be in the camera for the shutter to work? i took out the old battery, no corrosion at all. before i go try to find a battery, want to know if battery must be in before shutter will work, thanks!
The Canon AE-1 has an electronic triped shutter and cocking system and requiires a battery to function. So yes the battery is required. Goog luck!
