Another in the long list of explanation videos going over the shutter squeal that’s become the signature sound of the Canon SLR’s.

very insightful, why is it that the a1 series needs this lubrication? its the only camera that i know of that whines like that, what did they did thats so different?

[@fuscus66]

i have an AE-1, AE-1 Program and 3 A-1s, they all make the noise, but i'm too scared to disassemble them to that point
