The 45 focusing points of the EOS-1V provide unique functionality and a new level of focusing control. This system minimizes the problems of focus lock and recomposition, and brings an improved degree of fluidity to the creative process.
EOS-1v and EOS-3 Exclusive Focusing Features
EOS-1V: Focusing Assist Button
Its easy to switch to a preselected focusing point simply by pressing the Assist Button. When shooting conditions fluctuate, or fleeting photo opportunities arise, even the most agile photographer will be hard pressed to select just the right focusing point in time. Fortunately, the EOS-1V allows users to register any focusing point as a home position (HP) that can be restored from any focus setting, with a single press of the Assist Button. This extremely handy feature allows photographers to adapt quickly to almost any situation.
EOS-3: Eye Control Response
Eye Controlled Focus is a feature that lets the 45-Point Area AF exhibit its full value.
Sophisticated Exposure Control
The EOS-3 and EOS-1v let you capture the light as you see it. Canons exclusive AIM (Advanced Integrated Multi-Point Control) system integrates Area AF and all six metering modes available with the EOS-1v/3. Focus on a subject within the Area AF ellipse, and they will meter that area for the optimum result where its needed most. All six metering modes use the 21-zone evaluative metering sensor. Six metering modes, six program modes and three flash metering modes capture your vision in all manner of lighting situations.

METERING MODES

21-Zone Evaluative Metering
Offers efficient coverage of the focus area by defining the active focusing point as the main subject and setting independent metering areas for each of 15 major focusing points within the Area AF ellipse. By considering a range of metered values from adjacent areas, clearly capture the subject, even with various brightness levels in the frame.

AUTOMATIC

MANUAL EXPOSURE MODES
To assist the creative freedom, they have no fully-automated mode that leaves all settings to the camera. Instead they are equipped with convenient AE modes that let you input your will while concentrating on your composition.

Canons most advanced flash exposure control system, E-TTL (Evaluative through-the-lens) is a flash mode that reads through the lens, but not off the focal plane. This method provides several extra features such as Flash Exposure Lock (a method of spot metering with flash) and FP flash mode (the ability to use flash at high shutter speeds). Utilizing a preflash fired after the button has been fully depressed but before the cameras reflex mirror goes up, E-TTL uses the cameras evaluative metering sensor to analyze and compare ambient light exposure values with illumination reflected from the subject by the preflash. This data is used to calculate and store the flash output required for optimum exposure of the main subject, while maintaining a subtle balance between foreground and background.
FE Lock: Light reflected from the subject by a pre-flash is measured with partial metering for optimum flash control. The main subject can therefore be photographed at the correct exposure even when a high-brightness portion exists in the background. Framing can also be performed without limitation. High-speed Synchro Photography: Attach the Speedlite 550EX and a high-speed synchro (FP flash) function is provided. This allows the use of electronic flash even at high shutter speeds. Backgrounds can be blurred intentionally using the high-speed synchro function to select a large aperture. FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing): Without changing the background exposure level, the amount of flash illumination (using the Speedlite 550EX or Macro Ring Lites MR-14EX and MT-24EX) falling on the subject can be automatically changed as follows: standard, underexposure compensation, overexposure compensation. The compensation range is from -3EV to +3EV, in 1/3 or 1/2 step increments. E-TTL Multiple Wireless Flash: By using several 550EX Speedlite flashes, multiple flash photography, which normally requires a high level of sophistication, can be performed in full-auto mode.
Built-in Dioptric Correction

E-TTL Wireless

E-TTL Wireless enables you to work with two or more 550EX, 420EX or MR-14EX Speedlites to create dramatic studio quality lighting effects without the studio. Simply attach a 550EX, MR-14EX or an ST-E2 Transmitter to the EOS-1v or EOS-3 and position the other Speedlites around your subject. You can use an unlimited number of Speedlite 550EX or 420EX (slave units) to achieve precise main, fill and background lighting. When you shoot, the on-camera Speedlite or Speedlite Transmitter functions as the master unit and transmits wireless signals to the slave units. To achieve your effect, the master units flash (550EX or MR-14EX only) can be disabled, however even when disabled it can still transmit wireless signals to the slave units for complete versatility.

R LENSES

The fascination of the name Leica is rooted as much in the superb mechanisms of the camera as it is in the proverbial precision and quality of its legendary lenses. And with the R9 too, the entire spectrum of R lenses developed since 1965 is applicable, supplemented by they latest designs in the fields of wideangle-and zoom lenses. R lenses and the R9 body form a system that is ready for use immediately and that functions dependably. Making it easy for you to create perfect pictures. Leica lenses are masterpieces, many of them of legendary fame. The quality of the optical glasses is the basis of this extraordinary reputation. Produced in accordance with special recipes, ground to clear perfection, meticulously polished, coated with extremely precise layers and repeatedly centered. In a synthesis of continually refined software and the long-time experience of highly specialized designers, Leica optics have been computed with the aid of electronic data processing systems since the fifties. The lenses stand out because of their imaging quality, which always receives top ratings in specialized photographic magazine tests and which are unequalled internationally. Youll benefit from yet another exclusive advantage, a special feature that only Leica offers: The specific parameters of every current R lens (not just the general parameters of a given lens type) are measured individually and programmed into the ROM module of each lens, so they can communicate to the camera by means of appropriate contacts. This enables the R9 to conform precisely to true focal lengths and apertures in order, for instance, to control flash exposures accurately. SUPER WIDE-ANGLE LENSES Super wide-angle lenses are fascinating because of their enormous angle of view, which covers a much greater field of view than standard focal lengths do, for instance. They characteristically produce intensified perspectives with monumental foregrounds and rapidly receding backgrounds. 15mm f/2.8 Super-Elmarit-R ASPH

(LE1528R)

This ultra-wide-angle lens has the shortest focal length in the L-series. Aspherical lens element corrects distortion and other aberrations such as astigmatism, resulting in ideal image quality. Floating rear focusing system makes autofocusing faster, and the lens more compact. Full-time manual focusing lets you switch to manual focus even in AF mode. The lens also has a fixed petal-type hood and a gelatin filter holder at the rear..6195.00

14-Segment Metering

Produce accurate exposures, even under back and spot lighting. The system measures light levels from 13 segments in a honeycomb pattern across the viewfinder frame, plus the background area, with emphasis on the segments surrounding the active AF sensor. Also offers spot metering to precisely meter a small portion of the subject or scene. This allows the effect of dramatic lighting to be preserved or accentuated in a photo.
Subject Program Selection is a fast, easy function that optimizes the camera for specific situations. Five modes are available, each ideally suited for a specific type of shot. Portrait Produces a shallow depth-of-field to isolate the subject from the background. Landscape Produces a deep depth-of-field so that the foreground and background are sharp. Ideal for travel photos. Close-Up balances the depth-of-field with the image magnification to produce a sharp image of the subject with a defocused background. Sports Action the AF system continually adjusts focus to follow the subject, and the AE system maximizes the shutter speed to freeze action. Night Portrait balances flash exposure with the ambient background exposure so that subject and scene are accurately reproduced. When the flash is turned off, beautiful pictures of night scenes can be taken.
Predictive Focus Control keeps a clear focus on fast-moving subjects until youre ready to shoot, predicting exactly where a moving subject is going to be the moment the shutter is released, ensuring razor sharp focus.

Focus Area Illumination

When following moving subjects in the viewfinder youll know exactly what the camera is focusing on. A local focus area or spot focus area on the viewfinder screen blinks to show that it is being used to focus the moving subject.

Exposure Compensation

Exposure can be compensated up to 3 EV in 0.5 increments. To ensure you get the optimum exposure for tricky high-contrast scenes, a three bracket series can be made in 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 1.0 EV increments.

How the Shutter Button Works
The EOS cameras shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way. There is a click stop at the halfway point.
Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Fully
The shutter button works as described below.
When it is pressed halfway:
Autofocusing (AF) is activated. When
the subject is in focus, the AF point which achieved focus will flash, the beeper will sound, and the focus confirmation light will light up. Also, the shutter speed and aperture are set and displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.
When it is pressed fully:
The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by one frame.
If an Extender is used and the maximum aperture of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6 (the lowest f/number), autofocusing will not operate. Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake: Hold the camera steady (page 20). Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.

Loading and Unloading Film

Loading Film

After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the cameras take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the films ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The frame counter shows always number of shots remaining.

The camera will then make a shutter-release sound and the < > icon and total frame count will be displayed. During the films prewind, the ISO speed is displayed on the LCD panel.

Page 19

The shutter curtains have been manufactured with very high precision. Never touch them with your fingers. When loading film, do not touch or damage the curtains with your fingers or film. In hot and humid environments, do not remove the film packaging until you are ready to load the film. If the film is not loaded properly, the < > icon will blink on the LCD panel and the shutter will not work. Reload the film cartridge properly. (page 18) If you want to set a film speed different from the DX-coded film speed or if the film cartridge is not DX-coded, see Setting the ISO Film Speed on page 50. Infrared film cannot be used with this camera.

Checking the Film Speed

The camera reads the film cartridges DX code and sets the film speed automatically within ISO 25 - 5000. Set the Command Dial to a Creative Zone mode.
Press the < > button and move the < > arrow to < > on the LCD panel.
The film speed will appear on the LCD panel.

Unloading Film

After the film's last frame is exposed, the camera rewinds the film automatically. After the film is rewound, there will be a shutter-release sound. Check that the < > icon is blinking on the LCD panel, then open the back cover and take out the film cartridge.

If you take out the film cartridge in midroll without rewinding the film and then load a new roll of film and press the shutter button completely, the new film will only rewind into the cartridge. Before loading a new roll of film in this case, close the camera back and press the shutter button.

AF-Assist beam with the Built-in Flash
Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier autofocusing.
The AF-assist beam does not function in the < >, < > and < > modes. The built-in flashs AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.2 feet. In the Creative Zone modes when the built-in flash is popped up with the < > button, the AF-assist beam may be emitted.

Page 24

Programmed Image Control Modes
Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will be set to obtain the best results.

Portrait

This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out.
Holding down the shutter button executes continuous shooting. To improve the background blur, use a telephoto lens and fill the frame with the subject or have the subject stand farther away from the background.

Landscape

This is for wide scenic views, night scenes, etc.
Using a wide-angle lens will further enhance the depth and breadth of the picture.

Close-up

Use this mode to take close-up shots of flowers, insects, etc.
As much as possible, focus the subject at the lens closest focusing distance. To obtain a larger magnification, use the telephoto end of a zoom lens. For better close-ups, an EOS-dedicated macro lens and Macro Ring Lite (both optional) are recommended.

Page 25

Sports
This is for sports and fast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action on film.
The camera will first track the subject with the center AF point. Focus tracking will then continue with any of the seven AF points covering the subject. When focus is achieved, the beeper will sound softly. While you hold down the shutter button, focusing will continue for continuous shooting. Using a telephoto lens and ISO 400 or higher speed film is recommended.

Night Portrait

This mode is for taking pictures of people at twilight or at night.The flash illuminates the subject while a slow sync speed obtains a natural-looking exposure of the background.
If you want to photograph only a night scene (without people), use the < > mode instead. Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. If you also use the self-timer (page 27), the self-timer lamp will flash to indicate that the picture was taken.

Flash off

You can disable the flash when you do not want it to fire.
The built-in flash or any external Speedlite will not fire.

In the < <

Using Red-eye Reduction (with the built-in flash)
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subjects eyes may come out red in the photograph. Red eye happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The cameras red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subjects eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except < >, < > and < >.

Red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator
Red-eye reduction will not work unless the subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell the subject to look at the lamp. For maximum effectiveness, take the picture after the red-eye reduction lamp turns off (after 1.5 sec.). You can take a picture even while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit. The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject. To further increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, go to a brighter environment or move closer to the subject.

When Autofocus Fails

The camera has a high-precision AF system which can focus almost all subjects. However, it can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light < > blinks) the subjects listed below.
Difficult Subjects for Autofocusing
Low-contrast subjects. Example: Blue sky, flat surface with a solid color. Subjects in very low light. Extremely backlit or reflective subjects. Example: Automobile with a strong reflection. Overlapping near and far objects. Example: Animal behind bars in a cage. In such cases, use one of the following methods to focus: (1) Focus lock an object at the same distance as the subject and recompose. (2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> or <M> and focus manually as explained below.
If focus cannot be achieved even with the EOS-dedicated Speedlites AF-assist light, select the center AF point.

:Aperture-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the brightness of the subject. A large aperture (lower f/number) will blur the background and make the subject stand out. The larger the aperture, the more blurred the background will look. Or, a smaller aperture (higher f/number) will increase the depth of field to make both the foreground and background look sharp. The smaller the aperture, the sharper the background will look.
