  The 430EZ was designed and intended for use with and EOS cameras (and the T-90) that support TTL/A-TTL. The A-1 does not support TTL flash metering, though the speedlight may communicate with the A-1 to the extent of automatically setting the shutter speed to the x-sync speed (1/60). To use the 430EZ with the A-1 you should set the 430EZ to manual output (either full power, or 1/2, or 1/4, etc.) and set the aperture manually using the guide number formula.
