1) Exterior design

As an imaging tool for advanced amateurs and pros, the EOS-1V’s basic design concept is based on the EOS-1-series. The following were emphasized in the design:

q Imposing and refined exterior while looking

tough and elegant The camera has been sculptured like a top-

notch athlete with a lean and tough body. The smooth, curved surfaces are elegant to the smallest detail exuding a strong presence.

w Highly rigid, luxurious exterior

The magnesium-alloy top and front covers are very durable and coated with a deepblack metallic finish. Also, like the EOS-1N, a rubber skin covers all the surfaces held by the hands. The result is a better grip, holding comfort, and enhanced joy of ownership.

e Improved operation ease

The new Assist button (see Fig. 1-3), used for focusing point selection and other functions, is strategically positioned. The remote control/Data transfer terminal has a rubber cap to keep out water and dust. The EOS-1V retains the EOS-1N’s basic camera controls while adopting additional ones to enhance operation ease.

2) Water- and Dust-Resistant

All the switches and major body seams are sealed, and the camera back edges are lined with packing. The grip’s battery chamber cover is also lined with packing (see Fig. 1-4). Countermeasures against water and dust enable the camera to be used even in harsh environments. To better seal out dust and water, the lens mount perimeter also has a new coupling surface where the rubber O-ring on EF 300mm f/2.8L IS and later lenses contact against.

3) AF

The EOS-3’s Area AF sensor (Fig. 1-5) has been refined for the EOS-1V. The S/N ratio is better and the AF optics have been revamped to improve AF perfor mance. In the One Shot AF mode, the AF speed and predictive AF performance exceed the EOS-3’s. For fast focusing point selection even without Eye Control, a focusing point can be registered for instant shifting to it. There are also more focusing point selection methods. These improvements reflect the suggestions of EOS-3 professional users. (See next page.)

EOS-1V’s New AF Features (For details, see “4. Nomenclature”.)

Focusing Point Registration and Shifting (HP: Home position)

This feature was suggested by many pro users of the EOS-3. It enables the user to register the most often-used focusing point and shift the focusing to this registered one. Among the 45 focusing points, only one focusing point can be registered. Or, the camera can be set for automatic focusing point selection with the 45 focusing points (the automatic selection of 2 focusing points can also be registered). Using a registered focusing point gives priority to composition, while automatic selection of 45 focusing points results in shutter release priority. The focusing point can thereby be registered to suit the objective. The focusing point is shifted mainly with the new Assist button provided for this purpose. When CF18-1/2 is set, pressing the Assist button alone can shift the focusing point instantly.

New focusing point selection method (CF-13-3)

In addition to limiting the selectable focusing points to 11 (with CF-13-1/2), a new Custom Function setting (CF-13-3) can also limit it to 9. Turning the Main Dial selects one of the three horizontal focusing points at the center or sets the automatic selection of 45 focusing points. Meanwhile, turning the Quick Control Dial selects one of the 8 peripheral focusing points. Thus, the user can quickly select the often-used center focusing point, a peripheral focusing point, or the 45 focusing points to achieve focus. Also, the new CF-18-1/2 settings enable the Assist button alone to instantly select the center focusing point, and the Quick Control Dial and Assist button can be used to select one of the 9 focusing points.

Limiting the selectable focusing points (CF-13-1/2/3) and expanding the focusing point range (CF-17-1/2)

By limiting the selectable focusing points to 11 (CF-13-1/2) or 9 (CF-13-3) and expanding the focusing point range (CF-17-1/2), all 45 focusing points can be used to cover the subject.* This combination enables both quick focusing point selection and quick subject capture.

* With CF-13-3 and CF-17-1, 37 focusing points

will be usable. With CF-17-2, the focusing point coverage varies depending on the lens focal length and AF mode.

4) The Viewfinder and Information Display

Like the EOS-1N, the EOS-1V’s viewfinder coverage is 100 percent, the viewfinder magnification is 0.72 ×, the eye relief is 20 mm, and the dioptric correction range is

-3 to +1 dpt. The viewfinder blackout time is shorter at 87 ms (EOS-1N: 140 ms, EOS-3: 105 ms). The viewfinder image is also stable even during continuous shooting. The standard focusing screen is the newly developed Laser Matte focusing screen with the Area AF ellipse. Other Ec-series focusing screens can also be used. The superimposed focusing point is two stops brighter than the EOS-3’s. It is easier to see under bright conditions. The viewfinder display on the right and bottom of the image area is almost the same as the EOS-1N’s. The new FP flash icon has been added below the image area, and the new flash exposure level scale is on the right of the image area. The frame counter is fully digital, and it reflects the frame counter displayed on the LCD panel. There is also a frame countdown icon (new) which indicates that the frames are being counted in reverse order. With CF-8-2, the same frame counter display (F 9 - 0) as the EOS1N’s can be set.

5) Metering, Exposure Control, and the Shutter

The algorithm for evaluative metering and E-TTL autoflash metering has been changed to attain better stability. Otherwise, the exposure control and metering modes are the same as the EOS-3’s. The shutter is based on the highly reliable rotary magnet-controlled shutter used in the EOS-3. It has carbon curtains. Improved shutter cocking has made the curtain speed faster to attain a maximum X-sync of 1/250 sec. and shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8000 sec. The shutter durability is 150,000 cycles. Bulb exposures can be as long as 23 hr., 59 min., and 59 sec. The bulb exposure’s elapsed time is indicated digitally on the LCD panel.

6) Film Transport

The continuous shooting speed is shown in Table 2. With PB-E2 and NP-E2, the EOS-1V is the world’s fastest 35mm AF SLR camera at 10 fps. This applies when the scene is metered for each shot, and it does not apply to stoppeddown shooting. With PB-E2 and NP-E2, the EOS-1V can be set to one of four film advance modes: Single-frame, low-speed, high-speed, and ultra-high speed continuous advance. The EOS-1V is also compatible with bottom-attachable accessories for the EOS-1, EOS-1N, and EOS-3. With silencing technologies such as floating supports for film advance and shutter cocking, the film transport noise level is almost the same as the EOS-1N’s (6 fps) during high-speed continuous shooting (7 fps). Film rewind noise is also the same level as the EOS-1N’s. Although an infrared sensor is used to detect the film transport, infrared film can be used with the EOS-1V since new optics prevent the picture area from getting fogged.

8) Recording shooting data

The shooting data (see Table 1-4) is recorded automatically in the camera’s built-in memory. With EOS Link Software ES-E1, the data can be transferred to a personal computer and then viewed and edited. The memory can hold the standard shooting data (shown by Table 1-4-1 and 1-4-2) for 100 rolls of 36ex. film. When the memory becomes full, the oldest data for 1 roll is deleted and the data for the latest roll is written in its place. Any of the 27 items of shooting data can be recorded. The shooting data items in Table 1-4-1 are recorded at all times. The shooting data items in Tables 1-4-2 and 1-4-3 can be recorded as selected by the user with EOS Link Software ES-E1. However, all 27 items of data cannot be selected for recording because the CPU’s processing speed is unable to handle all of them. With the maximum number of shooting data items selected for recording, the memory can store data for 50 rolls of 36-ex. If only the minimum number of shooting data items are selected for recording, the memory can store data for 200 rolls of 36-ex. film. The EOS-1V can only display the remaining number of data-recordable rolls (see Fig. 1-12 for 36-ex. rolls). The shooting data can be viewed only with the EOS Link Software ES-E1. Also, date and time information such as the shooting date and time and film loading date and time are not recorded unless EOS Link Software ESE1 is used to enable the date and time to be recorded.

9) Film ID Imprinting

The film leader is always imprinted with a user -selectable 2-digit number (00 - 99) and a sequential 3-digit (001 - 999) film ID No. (See Figs. 1-13 and 1-14.) When multiple EOS-1V cameras are used, the user -selectable No. can be used to identify which EOS-1V was used to shoot that particular roll of film. The film ID No. counts up automatically each time a new roll of film is loaded. The film ID No. is used as a reference to view or edit the shooting data of the corresponding roll with EOS Link Software ES-E1. The imprinting mechanism is on the standard camera back. Immediately after the film advances to frame 1, a transparent LCD numeral is imprinted on the film by a mini lamp. The imprinting time is 25 ms to 180 ms (depending on the ISO film speed) at 20°C. The power source is the same as the camera’s. The imprinting cannot be turned off. The EOS1V camera back cannot be attached to the EOS-1N because the hinge length differs. It also cannot be attached to the EOS-3 because its inner parts will hit the EOS-3’s film transport detector. Closing the camera back by force will have it pop up. (The Dateback DB-E2 can be attached to the EOS-1V.)

10) Power Source

The power source is one lithium 2CR5 battery which can power the film transport for 50 rolls of 36-ex. film at 20°C.

11) Dimensions and Weight

The camera dimensions are 161 (W) × 120.8 (H) × 70.8 (D) mm. Body thickness is

54.8 mm. The camera body weighs 945 g without the battery. (The 2CR5 battery weighs 40 g.)

2.2 New Accessories

The following system accessories were developed at the same time as the EOS-1V.

(1) EOS Link Software ES-E1

EOS Link Software ES-E1 consists of driver software and a cable which connects the EOS-1V’s remote control/Data transfer terminal to the personal computer’s USB port. It has the following functions:

q Transfer, viewing, and editing of the shooting data. w EOS-1V control

• Personal Functions (Fine-tune settings of EOS-1V functions such as limiting the shooting modes and changing the metering time.)

(2) MACRO RING LITE MR-14EX

Macro Speedlite (Guide No. 14) with E-TTL autoflash control and two curved flash tubes. A flash ratio can be set between the left and right flash tubes. FEB, FEL, wireless multi-Speedlite flash, and other flash exposure control features found on the 550EX are possible. It can also use external power packs, including the existing Speedlite power packs.

●

Leaves film leader outside the cartridge.

Rewinds film leader into the cartridge.

●

This is for when you want to set the film speed yourself. It saves you from setting the film speed each time you load film.

This is effective when you want to focus and meter at different portions of the scene.

This is effective when you want to stop AI Servo AF operation momentarily.If an obstruction comes between the camera and subject, it will not throw off the AF. The exposure is set at the moment of exposure.

When you use AI Servo AF, you can toggle between AI Servo AF and focus lock just by pressing the (*) button.This is useful for subjects which keep moving and stopping repeatedly. The exposure is also set at the moment when the picture is taken. Thus, the focusing and exposure are always set correctly and all you do is wait for the right moment to capture the shot.

This prevents the focus from being thrown off by inadvertent turning of the focusing ring after One-Shot AF.

When CF-7-0/1 and CF-4-1/3 are set, the focusing ring can be used to focus before AF operation. However, this is disabled with this setting.* When CF-71/2 is set, you must first set the lens focus switch to MF (or M) to focus manually.

You can see how many frames are left in the roll.

AEB is not canceled even when the lens is interchanged or when the film is replaced. Therefore you can keep taking AEB shots (with the correct exposure first).

If the flashing of the focusing point is annoying, you can disable it.

For the standard mode, this disables the focusing point from lighting dimly after focus is achieved.

Flashes brightly.

●

When CF-11-2 and CF-13-3 are set, turning the Quick Control Dial selects one of 8 off-center focusing points, and pressing the Assist button selects the center focusing point.

This reverses the functions between the standard mode's focusing point selector and exposure compensation button. This enables the exposure compensation and manual exposure's aperture to be set in the same way as with the EOS-1.

This setting is identical to the EOS-1N's CF-11-2 for selecting the left or right focusing point. With this setting, you can select the focusing point while pressing the shutter button halfway (or while the metering is active) or during continuous shooting in the AI Servo AF mode. The focusing point selection stops at the extreme left or right focusing point.

● During AF operation, pressing the

focusing point selector enables you to switch from manual focusing point selection to automatic focusing point selection. You can thereby instantly switch to automatic focusing point selection.

This reverses the functions between the focusing point selector button and FEL button. The button next to the AE lock button then functions as an FEL button.

Enables the focusing point to be selected by pressing the focusing point selector and turning the Main Dial or Quick Control Dial.

● Turn the Main Dial to select a

focusing point on the right or left, and turn the Quick Control Dial to select a focusing point on the top or bottom.

Enables the focusing point to be selected by pressing the exposure compensation button and turning the Main Dial or Quick Control Dial.

Turn the Quick Control Dial alone to select a left or right focusing point, and press the Assist button and turn the Main Dial to select a focusing point on the top or bottom.

7. OPERATION CAUTIONS

1-47

Part 1: General Information

No. Cautions

1. Be sure to set CF-0 to either 0 or 1 to suit the focusing screen.

2. For CF-0, the CF button must be held down at least 2 sec. to set 0 or 1.

3. Even if the CLEAR button is pressed immediately after the CF button is pressed, CF-0 will not be cleared.

4. If CF-6-1 is set for whole-stop increments with Tv and Av settings, the aperture reading on the camera may differ from the Speedlite's.

5. When CF-12-1 is set and mirror lockup is in progress, do not point the camera toward the sun or any other bright light.

6. When CF-12-1 is set and mirror lockup and the self-timer are used together, the mirror will lockup when the shutter button is pressed completely the first time. After the self-count, the film is exposed and the mirror returns.

7. With CF-12-1's mirror lockup, self-timer, and bulb exposure set together, the mirror will lockup when the shutter button is pressed completely the first time. After the self count, the exposure starts (front curtain starts). When the shutter button is released, the exposure ends (rear curtain starts) and the mirror returns. If the shutter button is released from a complete pressing during the self count, the shot will be canceled. The shutter curtains close and the mirror returns. The film does not advance.

8. When PB-E2 or PDB-E1 is attached to the camera, align the positioning guide pin and screw. Keep the camera bottom, PB-E2, and PDB-E1 mounting surfaces parallel and tighten the knob.

9. Do not touch the electrical contacts on the PB-E2, PDB-E1, and EOS-1V.

Remarks

The camera has two types of compensation data to suit the two types of focusing screens. Therefore, if the setting is wrong, an exposure error will result.

CF-0 is for changing the focusing screen's compensation value and for preventing a wrong setting to be set accidentally.

This prevents the focusing screen compensation data from being cleared unnecessarily when the Custom Function settings are cleared.

The accuracy of the information transmitted between the camera and Speedlite is 1/8 stop. When a wholestop display is used, different readings may be unavoidable.

This is to prevent burn-in of the shutter curtains and light damage.

As per the design.

If the positioning guide pin is first inserted and then the knob screw is aligned with the socket, proper attachment will not result. The electrical contacts will not connect properly and proper operation will not occur.

Doing so may cause faulty connections and the camera may not operate properly.

Part 1: General Information

10. When automatic focusing point selection, AI Servo AF, and continuous shooting are used in combination, the continuous shooting speed may become irregular if the subject moves to another focusing point.

11. With interchangeable focusing screens EcA, Ec-B, Ec-I, and Ec-L, only spot metering or centerweighted averaging metering can be used.

12. When using spot metering during continuous shooting, the first shot will be used for AE lock and subsequent frames will be based on the AE lock of the first image. Even with single-frame shooting, pressing the shutter button completely during film advance will retain the previous AE lock setting.

13. To remove the focusing screen from the camera, turn the lens mount upward and release the locks for the screen's frame.

14. If AI Servo AF is set for flash photography, the Speedlite's built-in AF-assist beam will not be emitted. (In the One-Shot AF mode, the beam is emitted automatically when necessary.)

15. When Battery Pack BP-E1 is attached, size-AA lithium batteries cannot be used.

16. With the 550EX attached, the FEB shooting sequence follows the 550EX's settings instead of the CF-9 (AEB sequence change).

17. The AEB sequence is different from the EOS-1N's (including CF-9). The standard sequence is 0, -, and +. With the Custom Function, it is -, 0, +.

18. When date imprinting is enabled during continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed will be slower.

If the subject moves from one focusing point to another, focusing might be disrupted for an instant. It takes time to refocus. (Same as with EOS-1N).

The focusing screen's prism at the center is clear. Therefore, evaluative, partial, focusing point-linked spot metering (A0: center used) may result in error.

Designed to suit the actual picture-taking conditions.

It is not necessary to release the shutter button from the halfway position first to take the next picture.

If the lock is released while the camera is upright on a table, the screen will bound when it drops to the replacement position. The resulting shock may cause the screen to jump out.

Since it does not match predictive AF very well, this has been incorporated in the design. One-Shot AF is recommended for flash photography.

New lithium batteries initially have a high effective voltage which may damage electronic circuits in cameras and lenses.

For flash exposure compensation, the Speedlite takes priority. This is to prevent confusion on FEB and give the Speedlite priority.

With the EOS A2/A2E/5 and later EOS cameras, the AEB sequence starts with a correct exposure (0, -, +). This gives the user a better chance of capturing a great picture. The EOS-1N's AEB sequence is based on the EOS-1's with -, 0, and +. There are plans to apply this AEB bracketing sequence to APS cameras as well. Canon's AEB bracketing sequence will be standardized to 0, -, +.

This is due to the time it takes to imprint the date. Approx. shooting speed (fps) with One Shot AF at 20°C with a new battery:

Part 1: General Information

19. When the focusing point is camera-selected (automatic), focus aid will apply only to the center focusing point.

20. If the 550EX, MR-14EX fails to recharge fast enough during continuous shooting with FEB, the shutter release locks. After the shutter button is released from the fully depressed position, AE metering takes effect before the flash is ready.

21. If the lens focal length is 85mm or longer, the 550EX and ST-E2's AF-assist beam pattern spacing will look wider. Therefore, some of the 45 focusing points will not be covered by the AF-assist beam.

22. When the camera is shaken, the camera orientation switch will make a sound.

23. With a EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM and EXT.

1.4x attached to the camera, the center focusing point must be used for AF.

24. To register a focusing point, the Assist button and FE lock button are pressed simultaneously. In this case, the Assist button should be pressed before the FE lock button.

25. If the film ID No. has been imprinted on slide film and you want the slides to be mounted, be sure to request the lab to return the film leader together with the mounted slides. Some labs discard the film leader.

26. In low temperatures, imprinting the film ID takes longer. Since taking a picture while the film ID is being imprinted (indicated by the ID mark displayed on the LCD panel) may prevent the ID from being imprinted, you must wait until the ID mark turns off. From the time the camera back is closed and the imprinting is completed, it takes a maximum of about 2 sec. in -10°C and about 8 sec. in -20°C.

27. If the shutter button is pressed completely while the film ID is being imprinted, the imprinting will be canceled and frame 1 will be exposed.

Sometimes the user will not know which focusing point is active.The wrong focusing point might also be active. Focus aid fixed at the center focusing point is therefore best.

Normally, AE metering takes effect if the Speedlite is not ready. If during FEB continuous shooting the flash fails to recharge and AE takes immediate effect, the AE-metered picture in the shooting sequence would look unnatural.

The center focusing point must be selected for focusing.

As per the design.

Although focusing is possible at all 45 focusing points, the focusing precision is guaranteed only at the center focusing point.

During AE, either button may be pressed first. However, when a Speedlite is used and the flash is ready, pressing the FE lock button first will result in FE lock and the focusing point selection mode will be canceled. The focusing point will not be registered.

In low temperatures, the response of the liquid crystal is slower. Film ID imprinting is assured from -10°C to 45°C.

Due to shutter release-priority, pressing the shutter button overrides the film ID imprinting. Depending on the timing of the shutter release, the film ID imprinting might be light or indiscernible. At 20 C, imprinting is completed within 180 ms after the film loads. Therefore, there is hardly any waiting time until the imprinting is completed and frame 1 can be exposed almost immediately.

Part 1: General Information

28. Although infrared film can be used with the camera, slight fogging will occur along the edges outside the picture area.

29. Be aware that the Ec-N (standard on the EOS-3) focusing screen looks the same as the EOS-1V's standard focusing screen even though the former is a New Laser Matte screen and the latter is a Laser Matte screen. Be sure not to set the wrong CF-0 setting.

30. If a roll of film already partially exposed with the EOS-1V is rewound in midroll and then reloaded in the EOS-1V again, a new film ID will be imprinted over the old one.

31. When CF-13 and CF-17 have been set and focus is achieved with a focusing point other than the one selected, spot metering might not cover the subject whose magnification is low. The same applies to center spot metering and CF-17.

32. Do not attached the EOS-1V's camera back to the EOS-3.

33. C.Fn-0 cannot be registered in a Custom Function group.

As per the design.

The EOS-1V's standard focusing screen can be distinguished by the C III mark on the protruding tab.

The camera cannot distinguish between a new roll of film and a partially exposed one.

Fig. 23 Spot metering with CF-17 focusing point

The camera back's inner part will hit against the EOS3's film transport detector and the camera will be unable to close completely. The camera back also cannot be attached to the EOS-1 and EOS-1N due to the different hinge length.

The EOS-1V's C.Fn-0 is set to C.Fn-0-1 as the default setting to suit the standard Lasermatte focusing screen that comes with the camera. However, when the Custom Functions are reverted to the default settings with the EOS Link Software ES-E1, they will all be C.Fn-*-0. So if the user forgets to set C.Fn-0-0 back to C.Fn-0-1, exposure error will occur. This is prevented by excluding C.Fn-0 from any Custom Function group.

Part 1: General Information

The following must be mentioned in the EOS Link Software ES-E1 Instructions.

34. All 20 optional shooting data items cannot be selected and stored.

35. Before the date and time can be set with the EOS-1V, the date and time must be set with the EOS Link Software ES-E1 the first time.

36. Although the year is recorded in four digits according to the Gregorian calendar, the EOS-1V can only set the year with the last two digits.

37. To store date-related shooting data, the date must be set beforehand.

38. If the number of multiple exposures is extremely large, data can be recordable for fewer subsequent rolls of film.

As per the design.

Since this feature is only for EOS Link Software ESE1 users, the date and time must initially be set with EOS Link Software ES-E1. Otherwise, the date setting mode cannot be set even when the menu button is pressed.

The LCD panel's two-digit aperture display is used to display the year.

The date is not set upon shipment.

Shooting data is recorded for each multiple exposure. For example, if 36 multiple exposures are taken for one frame, the amount of data recorded will be the same as for a 36-exposure roll of film.
