The EOS-1 N family consists of the following three models in addition to

the standard model:

•EOS-1 N DP: This model combines the BP-E1* AA-size battery pack with the

EOS-1 N, allowing the user to switch between the standard

2CR5 lithium battery or AA-size batteries depending on the

shooting situation. (Refer to page 93.)

•EOS-1 N HS: This model combines the Power Drive Booster E1* with the

EOS-1 N, providing high-speed continuous shooting and

increased shooting capacity. (Refer to page 96.)

•EOS-1 N RS**:

This model features a non-moving, hard-coated new pellicle mirror

which provides non-interrupted viewing through the viewfinder and

rapid-fire continuous shooting at 10 frames/sec. Moreover, the

camera’s release time lag (the time between when the shutter but-

ton is pressed and when the exposure occurs) is reduced to a

mere 0.006 sec. (Refer to page 100.)

* BP-E1 and Power Drive Booster E1 must be purchased separately in North America.

**The EOS-1 N RS is scheduled for availability in Spring 1995.

Camera Care and Precautions

1. Handling, Cleaning and Storage

•This camera is a high-precision instrument. Be careful not to drop it or subject

it to shock.

•The Canon EOS-1 N has been designed for increased resistance to moisture.

However, this camera is not waterproof and must therefore be handled with

reasonable care. Keep the camera out of salt spray and protect it from exces-

sive moisture. If used at the beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry

cloth. If dropped in water, contact an authorized Canon service facility.

•This camera contains high-precision circuits. Do not attempt to disassemble

the camera yourself. Always take it to an authorized Canon service facility for

repair.

•Do not touch the camera’s electronic contacts with your fingers. Touching the

contacts can cause corrosion and affect proper camera operation.

•After removing a lens from the camera, place it face down on a flat surface to

avoid damaging the electronic contacts on the lens mount.

•Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm place.

If the autofocus optics cloud over, accuracy may be seriously affected. Before

entering a warm place, put equipment in a plastic bag so condensation forms

on the outside of the bag.

•

To remove dust from the lens, viewfinder eyepiece, mirror, focusing screen or

film chamber, gently blow the dust away using a commercially-available bulb-

type blower. Avoid directly touching any of these surfaces. Do not wipe the

camera body or lens with any type of cleaner containing organic solvents.

When further cleaning is necessary, consult your nearest Canon service center.

•The shutter curtain operates with extremely high precision and can be easily

damaged if touched. When loading or unloading film, be careful not to touch

the shutter curtain accidentally with your finger or the tip of the film. To

remove dust from the shutter curtain or surrounding area, only use a blower

and be careful not to blow air onto the curtain too strongly. Strongly blowing

air onto the curtain may deform or damage it. Aerosol spray dust removers

are not recommended for the shutter curtain.

•When storing the camera, wrap it in a clean, soft cloth and place it in a well-

ventilated, cool, dry, dust-free place. Be sure to keep the camera out of direct

sunlight, and away from “hot spots” such as the trunk or rear window shelf of

a car. Avoid places where moth balls are used, and in extreme humidity, use

a desiccant. To prevent corrosion, avoid storing the camera in a laboratory or

other location where chemicals are used. Also, do not store the camera in a

drawer or other non-ventilated place. Remove the battery if you do not expect

to use the camera for about three weeks or longer. It is also recommended to

take the camera out and release the shutter occasionally to prevent build up

of mold or corrosion.

00. Part.0 RS (E) (P.01~12) 27-01-2003 11:51 Page 6

Camera Care and Precautions

•A minute amount of battery power is used for the display even when the main

switch is set to . This does not affect the camera’s shooting capacity (num-

ber of film rolls possible per battery).

•Carefully check the camera’s operation after lengthy storage. When the cam-

era has not been used for a long time, or before an important trip or shooting

assignment, we recommend having the camera thoroughly tested at a Canon

service center.

2. Liquid Crystal Display Information

The LCD panel uses liquid crystal to indicate camera settings. Due to the charac-

teristics of the liquid crystal, the display may become difficult to read because of its

life span which varies according to the condition of use. If this occurs, have it

replaced at an authorized Canon service facility. Replacement is at the owner’s

expense in case of out of warranty term.

Liquid crystal may also respond relatively slowly in temperatures below 32°F/0°C. It

may also darken in temperatures of around 140°F/60°C. The LCD panel will return

when the temperature returns to normal.

3. Blinking “ ” Display

There are two conditions in which the blinking “ ” will appear in the LCD panel:

(1) when the battery is nearly exhausted or (2) when the camera’s self-test process

detects an internal malfunction. If the blinking “ ” indicator appears, perform the

following operations:

1. Press the battery check button to check the battery level. If the battery level is

low, replace the battery with a new one.

2. If the indicator shows a sufficient battery level, remove the battery, wipe the bat-

tery terminals and reload it.

3. Release the shutter once.

If the “ ” display stops blinking, the problem is corrected and you can contin-

ue using the camera normally. If the blinking does not stop, the camera needs to

be examined by an authorized Canon service facility.

00. Part.0 RS (E) (P.01~12) 27-01-2003 11:51 Page 7

Camera Care and Precautions

4. Battery Information

This camera requires battery power for operation. Always check the battery at the

following times:

1. When loading a new battery

2. After lengthy storage

3. If the shutter will not release

4. In cold weather

5. Before an important shooting assignment

•Wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper contact.

•The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted,

exposed to high temperatures, or disposed of in fire. Be sure to observe all pre-

cautions indicated on the battery package. Always keep batteries out of the

reach of children.

•Lithium battery performance deteriorates slightly in temperatures below

0°C/32°F. Keep the camera and especially a spare battery close to your body or

in an inside pocket to keep it warm until use.

5. Camera Operation with a Low Battery

Even if the battery indicator blinks or does not appear in the LCD panel during bat-

tery check, exposure will be correct as long as the shutter releases. When the bat-

tery power drops below a certain level, film advance and rewinding stop operating

and “ ” blinks in the display. Film winding automatically resumes after a new

battery is loaded. To resume rewinding, press the film rewind button ( ).

6. Dioptric Adjustment

The viewfinder has a built-in dioptric adjustment mechanism that lets you

adjust the eyesight correction to achieve a sharp viewfinder image. This

also allows near- or far-sighted users to take pictures without wearing

glasses. The diopter can be adjusted within a range of –3~+1 dpt.

1Press inward on both sides (nonslip

grip sections) of the eyecup frame.

2While pressing in on the sides, slide

the eyecup frame up to remove.

3Look into the viewfinder and turn the

dioptric adjustment dial in either

direction until the five focusing

points or the fine spot metering area

mark appear sharp.

•The diagram shows the dial in the

standard position (no compensation:

7. Shutter Button Operation and Autofocus

The shutter button has a two step construction. Press halfway (to the first

step) to activate focusing and metering, and press completely (to the sec-

ond step) to release the shutter and make the exposure.

1. Pressing Halfway

1) This activates autofocus. When the

subject is focused, the correspond-

ing focusing point momentarily lights

red and the green in-focus indicator

lights up in the viewfinder (in One-

shot AF mode).

•The autofocus system uses five

focusing points.

•The focusing point does not light

up in automatic focus point selec-

tion mode when the AF mode is

set to AI Servo.

•The in-focus indicator does not

light up in AI Servo AF mode.

2) At the same time, the camera deter-

mines the shutter speed and aper-

ture value combination (exposure

value), and the results are displayed

in the LCD panel and viewfinder. If

you remove your finger from the

shutter button, a timer operates to

continuously display the exposure

settings for six seconds.

Shutter Button Operation and Autofocus

2. Pressing Completely

This releases the shutter and takes the

picture, then advances the film. The

LCD panel’s frame counter displays

the frame number.

•Viewfinder data is extinguished during

exposure.

•If the camera moves at the instant the shutter is released, the motion during exposure

may cause an unsharp picture. This occurrence, called “camera shake,” can be pre-

vented by following these guidelines:

(1) Hold the camera with your right hand and the lens with your left hand firmly so that

they do not move when you take the picture.

(2) Gently press the shutter button from the halfway position to the fully-pressed posi-

tion with the fat part of your index finger. The trick to keeping the camera still when

taking a picture is to press the shutter button by gently squeezing the camera with

your right hand.

•The shutter button stroke (height) can be changed according to your preference by tak-

ing the camera to an authorized Canon service center (modification will be at the own-

er's expense).

●AI Servo AF

Use this mode when taking pictures of

moving subjects. The lens focuses the

subject continuously while the shutter

button is pressed halfway. AI Servo’s

predictive focus control* can track sub-

jects moving toward or away from the

camera. Exposure is determined

immediately before the shutter is

released.

In AI Servo AF mode, this function lets

you select the focusing point with the

quick control dial to manually track the

moving subject.

* Predictive focus control

Predictive focus continuously measures the distance and speed of a sub-

ject that is moving at a relatively constant velocity, and then predicts the

subject position so that the subject will be sharply focused at the instant of

exposure.

When using a manually selected focusing point, it is used for predictive

focusing and lights red in the viewfinder.

In automatic focusing point selection mode, cover the subject with the

center focusing point for initial focusing. After that, even if the subject

moves to a different focusing point, the camera’s predictive focus function

will continue to track the subject as long as it is covered by one of the

focusing points. The focusing point does not light up.

This camera’s autofocus system is very accurate and can quickly focus

most subjects with the high-precision Multi-BASIS (Base-Stored Image

Sensor) AF sensor equipped with five focusing points as shown below.

However, the system may have difficulty focusing the subjects listed

below. When autofocus is impossible, the green in-focus indicator will

blink in the viewfinder.

3. Difficult Subjects for Autofocus

(a) Low contrast subjects (misty scenes,

light-colored or white objects)

(b) Subjects in extremely low-light situa-

tions (a dark room, night scenes)

or with bright spectral reflections (shiny

metal, snow, ice, surface of a lake)

(d) Subjects with an object in front of them

(caged zoo animals)

(e) Subjects having generally horizontal

patterns (only when using the center

focusing point, when using lenses with

maximum aperture smaller than f/2.8)

(f) Subjects having generally vertical pat-

terns (only when using focusing points

other than the center)

Focus these subjects as follows:

1) Particularly with subjects such as (a),

focus on a substitute subject at the same

distance from the camera as your main

subject, then recompose the picture

using the focus lock function.

In the case of (e), there is no problem

when using a lens with a maximum aper-

ture of f/2.8 or larger (except the

EF50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro or EF28-

80mm f/2.8-4L) because the camera’s

central cross-sensor activates to detect

horizontal lines. However, when using a

lens with a maximum aperture smaller

than f/2.8, we recommend to use the

focusing points other than the center that

Selecting the Metering Mode

●Evaluative Metering ( )

Use this mode for general subjects

and backlit scenes. By dividing the

viewfinder into 16 metering zones

linked with the five focusing points, the

camera evaluates factors such as sub-

ject size, position (based on the focus-

ing point in use), brightness, back-

ground, front lighting and back lighting

to determine the best exposure setting.

In manual focusing mode, evaluative

metering is based on the central focus-

ing point.

•

When the subject is lit by strong backlight-

ing or a narrow beam of light such as a

spotlight, we recommend using partial

metering

()

or fine spot metering

()

●Partial Metering ( )

This mode limits the metering area to

the central part of the viewfinder

(approx. 9% of the image area). Select

this mode when the subject is backlit

or positioned near a strong light

source.

the center of the viewfinder as defined

by the fine spot metering mark

(approx. 2.3% of the image area). Use

this mode when you need an accurate

exposure reading of a specific subject

area.

•In continuous shooting mode ( ) or

high - speed continuous shooting mode

with the Power Drive Booster E1 ( ,

), the exposure value deter-

mined for the first frame is also used for

the second and consecutive exposures.

This function lets you select spot meter-

ing linked to the focusing points. Metering

is limited to the area of the manually

selected focusing point (approx. 3.5% of

the viewfinder image area).

In One-shot AF mode, exposure setting is locked during continuous shooting, but the AE

lock indicator “ ” does not light in the viewfinder.

6. AE Lock

The EOS-1 N's evaluative metering system is coupled to the five focusing

points. It controls the exposure according to the subject's position, based

on the focusing point in use.

If you want to determine the exposure independently from the focusing

operation, use AE lock. Use it when you also want to change the compo-

sition of the picture after determining the exposure. AE lock is effective for

backlit subjects and other situations where there is extremely strong con-

trast between the subject and background.

1Focus the subject that you want to

measure with the camera’s metering

system.

•The exposure values are displayed in

the viewfinder and LCD panel.

2Press the AE lock button ( ).

•“ ” lights in the viewfinder to indi-

cate that the AE lock is set. When you

release the AE lock button ( ), the

metering timer is activated and the

again renews the locked exposure set-

ting.

•AE lock is canceled six seconds after

the AE lock indicator ( ) lights in the

view finder display, or whenever you

press the AF mode selector, metering

mode selector, shooting mode selector

or focusing point selector.

To accurately meter a specific subject area with the AE lock function, we recommend

using partial metering or fine spot metering. Place the subject in the center of the viewfind-

er when activating AE lock.

8. Auto Exposure Bracketing [AEB]

Use auto exposure bracketing to take a sequence of pictures at different

exposures. When this function is set, the camera automatically takes

three exposures in sequence while shifting the exposure for each picture.

The bracketing amount can be set in 1/3-stop increments up to ±3 stops

from the metered exposure value. When the shutter button is pressed,

three frames are exposed according to the current film winding mode

(refer to “2. Changing the Film Winding Mode” on page 67), in the

sequence: underexposure →correct (metered) exposure →overexpo-

sure.

Auto exposure bracketing is particularly effective when using slide film,

which produces noticeably different results with even small exposure vari-

ations.

The shooting sequence can be changed

to: correct (metered) exposure →under-

exposure →overexposure. This function

also lets you set the AEB step amount by

simultaneously pressing the AF mode

and shooting mode selectors while turn-

ing the main dial.

Shutter Speed Display

Shutter speeds are set in 1/3-stop increments. From 8000 to 4, the shutter speeds are dis-

played as the reciprocal of the actual time values. For example, 125 on the display indi-

cates a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. For shutter speeds slower than 4, actual times are dis-

played. For example, 0”3 on the display indicates a shutter speed of 0.3 sec, and 15” indi-

cates a speed of 15 sec. The following shutter speeds are available:

3. Depth-of-Field AE [DEP]

This mode places everything between two freely set points in the fore-

ground and background within the zone of focus, effective for making sure

everyone in a large group picture or everything in a landscape photo is

rendered sharp. After you designate the near and far points in the scene,

the camera automatically sets the optimum focus position and the aper-

ture necessary to achieve the required depth of field, then sets the shutter

speed to achieve the correct exposure. The near and far points can be

designated using the selected focusing point in manual focusing point

selection mode, or using the center point in automatic focusing point

selection mode.

•Depth-of-field AE is not possible when the lens’ focus mode switch is set to “M”.

Make sure the focus mode switch is set to “AF”.

•When using a zoom lens, do not zoom the lens until you finish taking the picture.

•Changing the focusing point during Depth-of-Field AE operation cancels any previously

set data.

•Flash cannot be used effectively in depth-of-field AE mode. Use of flash will provide the

same result as using flash in Program AE mode.

•When using a lens equipped with a focus range selector (such as the EF300mm f/2.8L

USM), be sure to set it to the maximum range.

•If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

•To cancel Depth-of-Field AE in mid-operation, press the focusing point selector, the

shooting mode selector, the AF mode selector or the metering mode selector.

•For greater depth of field, we recommend using a wide-angle lens.

•For shallow depth of field, place both points 1 and 2 on the same point. This method is

effective for blurring the foreground and background when shooting portraits. Use a

telephoto lens for best effect.

Film Winding Automatic Gear Switching Function

If film winding becomes an excessive burden to the camera due to a sharp drop in battery

capacity (which can occur when shooting in a cold environment), the film winding system

automatically switches gears to reduce the winding speed and minimize battery drain.

When this occurs, one of the film winding mode indicators ( • • • ) blinks in

the LCD panel.

To cancel this function and return to normal-speed winding, open the palm door and press

the < > button and < > button simultaneously or when you replace the film or

battery. When the camera automatically switches to reduced-speed winding, check the

battery level (see page 15) and replace the battery or prepare a new battery as indicated.

•When film winding or rewinding stops in mid-operation, the “ ” indicator blinks in the

LCD panel. When the battery is replaced with a new one, film winding continues auto-

matically. If the camera stopped in the middle of rewinding, press the film rewind button

() to continue the rewinding operation.

•Do not dispose of the battery if its capacity drops due to cold shooting conditions. Its

capacity may return when it returns to normal temperature.

3Looking into the viewfinder, com-

pose the picture and press the shut-

ter button halfway to focus the sub-

ject and set the exposure.

4Press the shutter button completely.

The self-timer lamp blinks to indi-

cate that the self-timer function is

operating. The lamp starts blinking

faster two seconds before the pic-

ture is taken.

•To cancel the self-timer in mid-opera-

tion, set the main switch to .

●Using the Eyepiece Shutter

To prevent metering errors caused by light entering the eyepiece when

pressing the shutter button with your eye away from the viewfinder, close

the eyepiece shutter before pressing the shutter button. Recommended

when using the self-timer or making long time exposures.

Push down the eyepiece shutter lever

in the direction of the arrow to close

the eyepiece shutter. Lift the lever in

the opposite direction to open.

•Be careful not to stand in front of the lens when pressing the shutter button, as this will

cause the camera to misfocus.

•When shooting outdoors on a bright day or in a bright location such as a ski slope or a

sea shore on a fine day, take the picture within 30 seconds after swinging the mirror up

to avoid burning the shutter curtain.

•Do not point the camera lens at direct sunlight when the mirror is in the up position to

avoid burning the shutter curtain.

•When the mirror-up function is set, the film is wound one frame at a time, regardless of

the film winding mode (single exposure or continuous exposure).

•If the self-timer is used in combination with the mirror-up function, the mirror swings up

when the shutter button is first pressed, then the shutter releases automatically after a

delay of 10 seconds (in 10-second self-timer mode) or 2 seconds (in 2-second self-

timer mode).

•The timer function of the optionally available Command Back E1 cannot be used in mir-

ror-up mode.

•When using the bulb exposure and self-timer modes in combination with the mirror-up

function, a shutter release-type sound is heard when you remove your finger from the

shutter button while the self-timer is operating, but no picture is actually taken.

5. Locking the Mirror Up

Setting custom function F-12 (refer to pages 90-91) lets you swing the

mirror up before opening the shutter and starting the exposure. This elimi-

nates the slight vibration caused by mirror shock, ensuring maximum

sharpness when taking close-up photos or using super-telephoto lenses.

•Refer to “1. Setting and Resetting Custom Functions” on page 82 for instructions

on how to set the custom function.

•For best results with mirror-up shooting, we recommend using the optionally

available Remote Switch 60T3.

1Press the shutter button all the way

to swing the mirror up.

•The mirror will stay up for 30 seconds.

If no operation is made within 30 sec-

onds, the mirror will automatically

return to its normal position without

taking a picture. Pressing the shutter

button again will return the mirror to

the raised position.

2Momentarily let up on the shutter button, then press it again completely

to take the picture. The mirror returns to its normal position after the

exposure is completed.

Infrared film (film with extended sensitivity to infrared light) can be used to

achieve interesting effects not possible with general-purpose film. When

using black-and-white infrared film, the film’s sensitivity to longer wave-

lengths requires a slight adjustment in focus using the red infrared index

on the lens. Use a deep red filter to maximize the infrared effect.

•

When shooting with infrared film, use a lens equipped with a distance scale window.

•For black-and-white and color infrared photography, read the instructions provid-

ed with the film for proper use.

2Set the lens’ focus mode switch to

“M”.

3Read the focus distance from the

distance scale window.

•In this example, the distance from the

camera to the subject is 3 m / 10 ft.

4Manually align the lens’ infrared

index with the 3 m / 10 ft index on

the distance scale.

•

The lens’ infrared index is set for a

wavelength of 800 nanometers.

However, the wavelength characteristics

of general black-and-white infrared film

varies depending on the type (750~830

nanometers). Therefore, to ensure prop-

er focus when shooting with infrared

film, we recommend to take extra shots

with the lens adjusted slightly to the

front and rear of the infrared index.

•

The characteristics of the lenses listed

below are such that they do not require

focus adjustment when using black-and-

white infrared film. These lenses are there-

fore not equipped with an infrared index.

7. Checking the Depth of Field

Depth of field is the range of focus in

front of and behind the subject in

which objects appear sharp. The depth

of field varies from shallow to deep

depending on the aperture setting, the

angle of view of the lens in use and the

camera to subject distance. To check

the depth of field before taking a pic-

ture, press the depth-of-field preview

button. The camera will close down the

lens’ diaphragm to the shooting aper-

ture, allowing you to see the range of

sharpness in the viewfinder.

The LCD panel can be illuminated for easy

viewing at night or in low light situations. To

illuminate the LCD panel, press the panel

illumination button ( ). The panel will

remain illuminated for approximately 6 sec-

onds. To turn off the illumination before 6

seconds elapse, press the panel illumina-

tion button ( ) again. The LCD panel illu-

mination goes out automatically approx. 2

seconds after a picture is taken.

V Using Flash

Attaching an EOS dedicated speedlite to the

camera’s accessory shoe enables advanced

flash photography with the operational sim-

plicity of normal AE shooting. In addition to

overall exposure compensation, independent

compensation of just the flash exposure is

possible from the camera side.

Operation of the built-in three-zone

(center, right, left) automatic flash

sensor corresponds to the five focus-

ing points, increasing flash exposure

precision by automatically weighting

the exposure to the center when aut-

ofocusing at the center point, or to

the left or right when autofocusing at

one of the side points.

00. Part.5 RS (E) (P.76~80) 27-01-2003 12:38 Page 76

1. Using EOS Dedicated Speedlites

EOS dedicated Speedlites (540EZ, 430EZ, 420EZ, 300EZ, etc.) make

flash photography as simple as pointing and shooting. Moreover, built-in

advanced functions make it easy to achieve professional fill-in flash

effects in outdoor settings as well as automatic control of flash exposure

when shooting at night or indoors. These units feature a built-in AF auxil-

iary light function that assists autofocus in dark situations.

By simply attaching an EOS Speedlite to the camera and turning it on, an

appropriate flash synchronization speed (1/250 sec. or slower) is auto-

matically set on the camera. As soon as the flash is charged, the flash

charge completion indicator appears in the viewfinder. For details, refer to

your speedlite’s instruction book.

●Automatic Flash Output Reduction Control

When using a dedicated speedlite to take a photo of a subject lit by sky-

light-type illumination, the camera automatically reduces the flash unit’s

light output so as not to overexpose the subject.

•The 540EZ's AF auxiliary light is designed to work with all five of the EOS-1 N’s focus

points. Other EZ Speedlites' AF auxiliary light works with only the center focusing point.

•The 480EG does not emit an AF auxiliary light.

•The aperture values displayed on the camera and speedlite LCD panels may some-

times differ. However, the exposure will be correct.

•When using flash in AI Servo AF mode, the flash unit’s AF auxiliary light will not func-

tion. In situations requiring use of the AF auxiliary light, switch to One-shot AF mode.

You can turn off the automatic flash out-

put reduction control function for strongly-

backlit subjects which need extra illumi-

nation from the flash.

play to indicate that flash exposure

compensation is set. (The compen-

sation amount is not displayed.)

•Flash exposure compensation remains

set until manually canceled. To cancel,

repeat step 2 to return the flash expo-

sure compensation amount to 0.

•The exposure compensation amount

remains set even if the main switch is

set to “ ”.

The optionally available Command Back E1 does not have a quick control dial. When

using this command back, set the flash exposure compensation by turning the main dial

while simultaneously pressing the metering mode selector / flash exposure compensation

button and focusing point selector.

●Speedlites Capable of Flash Exposure Compensation

This camera can perform flash exposure compensation with all Canon EOS dedi-

cated Speedlites. The 540EZ and 430EZ Speedlites are also equipped with a built-

in flash exposure compensation function. When this camera is used with the 540EZ

or 430EZ and flash exposure compensation is set on both the camera and flash

unit, the settings on the flash unit have priority and override the camera setting.

•Flash exposure compensation with EOS dedicated Speedlites is supported with

the Canon Off-camera Shoe Cords and Canon multiple flash accessories con-

nected to the camera by TTL Hot Shoe Adapters 2 and 3.

3. Using Non-dedicated Flash Equipment

This camera’s shutter can synchronize with non-dedicated portable flash

units at up to 1/250 sec. and with studio strobes at up to 1/125 sec.

Before use, test the flash unit at various shutter speeds to make sure it

synchronizes properly with the camera.

●PC Terminal

Flash units equipped with a synchro cord can be used by connecting the

cord to the camera’s PC terminal. The PC terminal is equipped with a lock

screw to prevent accidental disconnection.

The PC terminal provides only an X-sync contact and synchronizes at all

shutter speeds up to 1/250 sec.

•TTL automatic flash control is not possible.

•Flash units can be connected to both the PC terminal and accessory shoe for multiple

flash setups.

●We recommend using Canon dedicated speedlites with this

camera.

•Use of flash units (having two or more contacts on the hot shoe) or flash accessories

that are designed for dedicated use with other brands of cameras will not work properly

and may result in damage to your EOS camera.

•Use of flash units of other brands with a trigger circuit voltage in excess of 6 volts DC

may damage your camera. Consult your nearest authorized Canon service facility to

confirm the compatibility.

This function is useful for situations in

which silence is required — for exam-

ple, in a quiet theater or at a pro golf

tournament — where the sudden noise

of a camera’s rewind would cause dis-

ruption and be frowned upon.

This function is useful for individuals or

news companies who do their own film

processing. The film leader is left out-

side of the cartridge after the film is

rewound automatically or in mid-roll.

With this custom function, the shutter

always operates at the fastest 1/8000

Additional Information for the EOS-1 N DP Model

A combination of the EOS-1 N with the compact Battery Pack BP-E1 pro-

vides a switch that lets you power the camera either from the standard

2CR5 lithium battery stored in the grip or from four AA-size (LR6) alkaline-

manganese or Ni-Cd batteries housed in the battery pack. This dual pack

(DP) system lets you use AA-size batteries during normal temperature

shooting and switch to the 2CR5 lithium battery when shooting in cold

conditions. Moreover, the camera will operate even when only one of the

two battery types is installed. Also, the Handstrap E1 (optional) can be

attached to improve holding stability.

•Battery Pack BP-E1 is compatible with both the EOS-1 N and the EOS-1.

Additional Information for the EOS-1 N RS Model

In addition to all the features of the EOS-1 N, the EOS-1 N RS also has a

fixed, hard-coat, new pellicle mirror, a high-speed motor drive, and the

RS mode. The EOS-1 N RS is a single-lens reflex camera having the

fastest AF (autofocus) operation.

Major Features of the EOS-1 N RS

■In the RS mode, the short shutter release time lag of 0.006 sec. helps

you capture the decisive moment more easily.

■A high-speed continuous shooting speed of 10 frames per sec. can

be attained.

■Since the hard-coat, new pellicle mirror is fixed, the image in the

viewfinder is not blocked out during the exposure. This brings the fol-

lowing advantages:

•While looking through the viewfinder, you can see the image at the moment of

exposure.

•While looking through the viewfinder, you can confirm whether the flash is syn-

chronized.

•Even during continuous shooting, the subject’s image in the viewfinder is

steady.

•For flash photography at slow shutter speeds, it is easier to decide the timing of

the flash.

•For multiple flash exposures or multiple exposures on a single frame, it is easier

to set the composition.

•You can notice any camera shake during the moment of exposure.

Note:

•The EOS-1 N RS’s battery magazine cannot be separated from the camera

body. Therefore, the battery magazine cannot be replaced with the GR-E1 nor-

mal grip or the BP-E1 size AA battery pack.

•When the shutter button is pressed lightly, there will be a sound as if the shutter was

released. This is only the shutter's rear curtain positioning itself.

•Use a blower brush to lightly blow off any dust from the pellicle mirror. If the mirror is

really dirty, consult your nearest Canon Service Center.

•During self-timer operation, etc., when the eyepiece is left uncovered, light entering

through the eyepiece may affect the proper exposure setting. It may even strike the

film. Be sure to cover the eyepiece with the eyepiece shutter.

•If you include the sun or a bright light source within the viewfinder (especially near the

edge), flare may result.

•During manual flash photography, use the following formula to compensate for the

reduced amount of light reaching the film due to the pellicle mirror.

Guide No. x 0.8 / Subject distance = Aperture setting

•When the Canon Speedlite 480EG is used for automatic flash photography, increase

the normal aperture setting by 2/3 stop or decrease the 480EG’s ISO setting by 2/3 EV

(open up) to compensate for the reduced amount of light reaching the film due to the

pellicle mirror.

•The flash distance range for automatic flash exposures will be 20 percent shorter than

the flash unit's specified distance range. (The 420EZ, 430EZ, and 540EZ flash unit's

will display the flash distance range after the compensation is set.)

•When using a handheld exposure meter to set the exposure manually, set an expo-

sure compensation of +2/3 EV or set the handheld meter’s ISO setting to 2/3 EV less

than the normal ISO. This is to compensate for the reduced amount of light reaching

the film due to the pellicle mirror.

•When the EF 50mm f/1.0L USM lens is used, vignetting will occur due to the frame

holding the fixed pellicle mirror in place.

•When custom function CF-4 is set to “1” (AF operation with the AE lock button and AE

lock with the shutter button pressed halfway) and the RS mode is used, allow the auto-

focus operation to be completed before pressing the shutter button halfway.

*If the shutter button is pressed halfway, the autofocus will not operate even when

the AE lock button is pressed.

*If the AE lock button is pressed and the shutter button is pressed halfway during

the autofocus operation, the aperture will stop down after focusing is achieved.

•Do not use Command Back E1 if you want a high continuous shooting speed. Using

Command Back E1 while in the RS mode will give a maximum continuous shooting

speed of only 1 frame/sec. even without any data being imprinted. Also, if data is

imprinted, the maximum continuous shooting speed will vary depending on the film’s

ISO rating. For ISO 64 film, it will be 4 frames/sec.

•In the RS mode, AEB cannot be used.
