Canon Ae-1 Program I just started really using my AE-1 p about six months ago even though I've owned it for about ten years. Recently, as I was checking the light in the room with the camera, I noticed that the meter was telling me to set the f stop very high. No matter how much light I remove it still tells me to set the aperture at 16 or up. I normally use Kodak 400 and my pictures turn out great. Ever since this began, the pictures have been uncontrolled. I changed the battery and even tried setting the film speed at different settings. The resulting changes are minimal. Please help, I really like my camera and do not wish to replace it.

Set the film ASA/ISO to 400. What is the shutter speed setting?

what modes are you using the AE-1 in? Are you doing manual Aperture, Manual shutterspeed, or all? I'm inclined to thing that the program chip may be going, let's hope not. If you don't get decent pics that way, then something is probably wrong with the program chip & I would take it in to have it looked at. Either way, you can always try setting your AE-1 P in a corner, getting frustrated at it, wish it death threats and then try it again. I've found that most of my bizarre problems with the AE-1 have spontaneously fixed themselves after I do that. It usually decides to start working again as soon as I set foot in the repair shop also.
