5. Camera Operation with a Low Battery
Even if the battery indicator blinks or does not appear in the LCD panel during battery check, exposure will be correct as long as the shutter releases. When the battery 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 ( ).

If the film transport (wind/rewind) blinks, the film is not loaded correctly, and the shutter will not release when the shutter button is pressed. Reload the film.
Using film which has been exposed to high humidity may cause the film perforations to tear when the camera advances the film. In humid locations, do not remove the film from its original sealed package until immediately prior to loading it into the camera.

If a shutter speed of 8000 and the minimum aperture value blink in the display, the subject is too bright. Attach a neutral density (ND) filter to the lens.
Six-Second Timer When you release the shutter button after pressing it halfway, the LCD panel and viewfinder displays remain active for six seconds. Program Shift Function When taking pictures in Program AE mode, you can shift the program to change the set shutter speed and aperture value combination while maintaining the same exposure. After pressing the shutter button halfway, turn the main dial until the desired shutter speed/aperture value combination is displayed. Remaining Frame Counter When nine frames or less remain on the roll, the number of remaining frames is displayed in the viewfinder below the exposure level display. F indicates that 10 or more frames remain on the roll. When less than 10 frames remain, the display counts down the frames in descending order: 9, 8. 2, 1.
Non-DX films are identified as 36-exposure rolls, and the remaining frame counter operates accordingly.

Remaining frame counter

This cameras wide-zone autofocus system lets you freely select from five focusing points, allowing you to keep the scene composed as desired while concentrating on the subject. Also, a rich selection of exposure options lets you select the metering mode appropriate for the subject or shooting situation, and flexible exposure compensation capabilities let you fine tune the exposure in real time.
First make sure the camera's main switch is set to A or
1. Selecting the Five Focusing Points
This camera incorporates a high-precision AF sensor called Multi-BASIS (Multi Base-Stored Image Sensor), equipped with five focusing points for wide autofocusing coverage. You can freely select any of the focusing points to compose the scene as desired, or you can let the camera select the focusing point for you (automatic focusing selection mode).

Automatic Focusing Point Selection Mode
The camera automatically selects an individual focusing point after evaluating all 5 points simultaneously. In One-shot AF mode, the system usually gives priority to the closest reliable subject. In AI Servo AF mode, the system always gives priority to the central (cross-type) focusing point for the first exposure. (For more information, refer to page 33.)

In evaluative metering mode, the shutter speed and aperture value are determined at this time, and by keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, the focus and exposure settings remain locked, allowing you to recompose the picture as desired.
The shutter will not release if the in-focus indicator is blinking. Try refocusing the subject on an alternate subject with higher contrast at approximately the same distance, or use manual focusing (refer to 3. Difficult Subjects for Autofocus on page 34).

Selecting the AF Mode

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 Servos predictive focus control* can track subjects moving toward or away from the camera. Exposure is determined immediately before the shutter is released.
In AI Servo AF mode, the viewfinders in-focus indicator does not light up and the beeper does not beep even when the subject is in focus. The in-focus indicator blinks if the subject cannot be focused. Focus lock cannot be used in this mode, but autofocus can be temporarily suspended through Custom Function 4-2 (refer to pages 8687).
* Predictive focus control Predictive focus continuously measures the distance and speed of a subject 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 cameras 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. Custom Function

(Refer to pages 8687)

In AI Servo AF mode with predictive focusing (used for sports photography, etc.), this function lets you momentarily lock the focus using the AE lock button. In AI Servo AF mode, this function lets you select the focusing point with the quick control dial to manually track the moving subject. 33

Depth-of-Field AE [Dep] is not available on the EOS-1 N RS.
5 Place the same focusing point on
the farthest point you want in focus (point 2), then press the shutter button halfway again.
Points 1 and 2 can be reversed if desired.
6 Compose the picture and press the
shutter button halfway to set the aperture and focus for the designated depth of field.
The correct aperture value for the designated depth of field and the corresponding shutter speed are displayed in both the viewfinder and LCD panel. If you remove your finger from the shutter button, the display changes to and the aperture value. The exposure is determined immediately before the shutter is released.
7 Press the shutter button completely

to take the picture.

Using Automatic Focusing Point Selection Mode In automatic focusing point selection mode, use the center focusing point to designate the near and far focus points. Otherwise, the basic procedure is the same as for Depth-of-Field AE Using A Manual Focusing Point Selection Mode.

[Warning Indications]

If the aperture value blinks, the desired depth of field cannot be obtained. Use a wideangle lens or move farther from the subject and repeat steps 4 through 6. If the shutter speed of 30 and the maximum aperture of the lens blink, the scene will be underexposed and Depth-of-Field AE cannot be carried out.
If the shutter speed of 8000 and the minimum aperture of the lens blink, the scene will be overexposed. Use a neutral density (ND) filter to reduce the amount of light entering the lens.
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.

6. Infrared Photography

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 films sensitivity to longer wavelengths 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 provided with the film for proper use.

AF AF AF M M M

1 Focus the subject. 2 Set the lens focus mode switch to
3 Read the focus distance from the

distance scale window.

In this example, the distance from the camera to the subject is 3 m / 10 ft.

4 Manually

1.1.5 3
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 proper 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-andwhite infrared film. These lenses are therefore not equipped with an infrared index. EF200mm f/1.8L USM EF300mm f/2.8L USM EF500mm f/4.5L USM 73 EF600mm f/4L USM
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 picture, press the depth-of-field preview button. The camera will close down the lens diaphragm to the shooting aperture, allowing you to see the range of sharpness in the viewfinder.
Exposure setting is locked when the depth-of-field preview button is pressed. The depth-of-field preview button does not function during the camera's autofocus operation.

8. Illuminating the LCD Panel

AS O U M

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 seconds. To turn off the illumination before 6 seconds elapse, press the panel illumination button ( ) again. The LCD panel illumination goes out automatically approx. 2 seconds after a picture is taken.
You can keep the LCD panel illuminated longer than 6 seconds by pressing any operation button again while the illumination timer is activated. The LCD panel cannot be illuminated during bulb exposures.
9. Resetting the Camera to Its Initial Settings

Resetting All Custom Functions
You can reset all of the custom functions to their initial settings by pressing the custom function button before pressing the clear button.

V Using Flash

Attaching an EOS dedicated speedlite to the cameras accessory shoe enables advanced flash photography with the operational simplicity 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 focusing points, increasing flash exposure precision by automatically weighting the exposure to the center when autofocusing at the center point, or to the left or right when autofocusing at one of the side points.

The flash exposure compensation amount is displayed in the LCD panels exposure compensation display. In the LCD display, the + side indicates overexposure compensation, and the side indicates underexposure compensation.
Flash exposure compensation Example showing +2/3-stop flash exposure compensation.
Flash Exposure Compensation
3 Releasing the metering mode selec-
tor / flash exposure compensation button completes the flash exposure compensation setting. The LCD panel returns to its normal condition and lights in the display to indicate that flash exposure compensation is set. (The compensation amount is not displayed.)
Flash exposure compensation remains set until manually canceled. To cancel, repeat step 2 to return the flash exposure 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 dedicated Speedlites. The 540EZ and 430EZ Speedlites are also equipped with a builtin 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 connected to the camera by TTL Hot Shoe Adapters 2 and 3.
When using the 300TL Speedlite, set the flash mode button to a position other than MHi or MLo. TTL automatic flash exposure is possible.
Canon Speedlites other than those mentioned above can be used in manual mode.
3. Using Non-dedicated Flash Equipment
This cameras 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 cameras 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.

Additional Information for the EOS-1 N HS Model
A combination of the EOS-1 N with the Power Drive Booster E1 expands the choice of film winding modes to three and benefits from higher shooting capacity (refer to page 98). Moreover, the EOS-1 N HS is designed for improved operability with features such as a separate shutter button and AE lock button ( ) for vertical shooting. Power is supplied by eight AA-size alkaline-manganese batteries (or AAsize Ni-Cd or AA-size lithium batteries*), or by the optionally available NiCd Pack E1 and dedicated Ni-Cd Charger E1. Also, the Handstrap E1 (optional) can be attached to improve holding stability.

8. EOS-1 N RS Operation Notes
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 480EGs 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 exposure compensation of +2/3 EV or set the handheld meters 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 autofocus 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 films ISO rating. For ISO 64 film, it will be 4 frames/sec. In the RS mode, AEB cannot be used.
