Aperture priority wasn’t anything new by then, but I think 1981 is early for “P” mode where the camera picks both the f/stop and shutter speed.

- maurits 5y agoNot at all. The Canon A1, born 1978, for example, has shutter priority, aperture priority and full automatic exposure [1] [1] http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/canon/fdresources/SLRs/a1/index.htm http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/canon/fdresou...
