The camera that put full program auto-exposure into Canon's mainstream SLR line.
Program mode is the point of it. The camera sets both shutter speed and aperture on its own, and steps back to shutter priority or full manual when it is told to.
It is an electronic body, so without a battery it will not fire at all.
That combination, a program mode that asks nothing of the person holding it and a body sold in enormous numbers, is why it is so often somebody's first SLR.
