    To activate the light meter, you must depresst the shutter button
    half way. The needle will move to the F-stop shown on the right side
    of the viewfinder. Change the shutter speed or f-stop to get the
    needle in the middle range. The camera has two batteries. The small
    dime shaped one in the bottom for the light meter and the larger 6v .
    one in the front of the camera body which operates the shutter and
    film advance. Batteries my be low or dead in your student's camera.

    My Canon AE-1 also has a fully automatic feature at the bottom of the
    f-stops in the view finder.

    You probably could find a manual from Canon or try e-Bay or some
    other on-line auction.
