Classic SLRs Series : |
EOS-1 Series is Canon's flagship camera model which uses the autofocus EF/EOS system as the backbone. The Series which comprised of the original EOS-1 has evolved to the present EOS-1v (film based) to EOS-1D (Digital based) which widely acclaimed as the most used professional camera right now at the professional user's market. Here is a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon EOS-1 Series SLR model which aims for common support and sharing mutual knowledge among users. Hope fully it will see its worth in time to come.

Ronald,
Peculiar to the EOS system,accessories such as remote switches designed for the EOS 5 and EOS 1N will not work with some other models. For example, remote switch 60T3 for the EOS 1, 1N and 5, which have the 'T' socket configuration, cannot be used on the EOS 3, 30, 33 or 1V, which has a different socket configuration ('N' type), for which the RS-80 N3 switch is suited.
Similarly, Remote Controller RC-1, while very handy, is only useful for the (discontinued) EOS 50/50e, as is remote switch RS-60 E3.
Today's EOS digital cameras use the N-type socket, so you have a choice of the simple Remote Switch RS-80-N3 or the tricked up (and expensive) Timer Remote Controller TC-80 N3.
The lack of backward compatability of the various remote controls across the EOS range has long been a concern of many photographers, both amateur and professional.

Dear Guru Gary, Can I assume the remote accessories designed for the EOS SLRs are to be shared among each other models ? i.e say EOS5 can be used on the EOS1N.. or can they be used on the Digital EOS ?3. From : Jay de Silva (desilvaj@tenix.com)

Hello Bob, I recently purchased an EOS 100 and find that many of its PIC settings appear to have been programmed with barcodes. Is there any way these can be set to the default settings without a barcode reader? I don't want to purchase a reader as I don't intend using barcodes.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Carrie,
There are two possible problems: one, the batteries (2 x CR123A cells) are weak and not supplying adequate power to the shutter mechanism during exposure. This is circumspect as you have mentioned every frame has the blank area.
I suspect from the description you have given of their being a blank area in the top third of every frame that a shutter fault is present; that is, sticky or damaged shutter blinds are not opening/closing during the exposure. Damaged shutter blinds can be costly to repair, especially in older cameras.
Shutter speed is controlled by the "Tv" setting on the control dial (top left, looking down at the camera). "Tv" is Canon-speak for "Time value". As you change the Tv value on the camera, the aperture will also change to provide a correct exposure. FOr snapshots, the PIC mode is best: rotate the dial to the small icons indicating a runner (sport), flower (close up) or stylised mountain icon, for landscape photography) etc. Full Auto and Program both work well for "spur of the moment" shots
Now, I suggest you firstly change the batteries and run a fresh roll of film through the camera. If the fault persists, it will be best to stop there and have the camera attended to at a repair centre to fully investigate and remedy any fault with the shutter mechanism.

I have a Canon EOS Rebel Xs. Got it used, so no manuel. When I have my film developed, the top third of each piture is black. I think it has to do with the shutter speed??? I'm taking snap shots, nothing fancy. What setting on the dial? And how do I control the shutter speed and where is that control? Gosh I feel dumb...Please help!
Thank you

Bob,
I have only ever seen or used the Canon gel filter holders III and IV. The holder E has become very rare to track down so I do not know how it takes the filters. With holders III and IV, square gel filters are slipped in and 'pinned' into position by small clamps. Very neat, but gel filters by their nature are flimsy, disintegrating in wet weather and warping/buckling in hot weather.

I have a set of 3 Canon gel filter holders (GF E for 52mm, 58mm & 72mm).
how are the gel filers supposed to mount into the holders? Or do they just hold the gel filter between the holder & the lens front?
Any info is appreciated!9. From : Northern LITE (preferred@private.com)

In metered manual, the exposure level at right in the viewfinder will indicate the exposure based on the combination of Tv and Av (shutter speed and aperture value) that have been selected by you. If the exposure level arrow moves from the zero point up (+ exposure) or down (— exposure, while an arrow pointing up or down off the scale means more than 2 stops under/over exposure) this is a starting point for judging over or under exposure. If AEL is pressed during metering and further adjustments are made, the exposure level indicator will rise and fall, relative to the locked reading.
It is worth mentioning here that the exposure level scale is also very useful when using flash to balance the main subject with a pleasingly illuminated background, if that is desired.
In low light, and for the purpose of explicit accuracy with transparency film, bracketing -N- (standard exposure, no exposure compensation), +0.3, +0.7 to +1.0 is standard professional practice. This method will guarantee at least one, and possibly two images, will be correctly exposed. Note that like all professional level EOS cameras, the 1N's exposure metering can be set in 1/3, 1/2 or 1 stop increments; 1/3 stop is critically useful useful when shooting on transparency film.
Remember that the Tv (shutter speed) value will extend the lower the light you are shooting in. Use of Program mode with a higher film/ISO level can alleviate some low light difficulties if you are not using flash.
