On Page 29 of the AE-1 manual, is the shutter speed table for use with flash. For flash bulb use with an AE-1, a shutter speed of 1/30 or slower must be selected. For flash bulb use with an FTb, it gets even more interesting. Per the Canon manual, for use with FP-class bulbs, any shutter speed except 1/60 may be used. For M or MF class bulbs, it's 1/30 or slower.
