I have a Canon A-1 .  As i understand it, when it is dedicated,
when  you install the flash, the aperture is controlled by
the flash and the shutter speed is automatically set to
1/60.  A year or two ago in one of the photo magazines,  there
was some info that nondedicated flashes could cause some problems
in the camera and they recommend the camera be in the off position
when installing the flash.  I bought a Canon 533G and have had no problems
