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.

Very informative sites on EOS-1N as well as the EF lens section. Glad to find this new site. I guess you have not featured other lenses yet (mine is a 24/40; 70/200 and a 35mm f/1.4L - I like your article on this and hope to read more in th future whn the rest are ready - keep it up !). Thanks.2. From : Ataribob (Ataribob@bellsouth.net)

TomR Thank's a million for the web page. Was easier than I thought. I am getting another eos-1 body from Ebay. As Soon as I get it I will email you for your address to send the Power Back to with the Tri-pod adapter. I hate it and still don't need it. Thanks again Bob3.

I still am in a desperate need to know how to change (take off)the NPC PowerBack . I have an E0S-1 with it on and need to put on a new back I will be getting. Have no Idea ?
>>>My enquiries have drawn a blank. Nobody I work with has ever heard of the NPC PowerBack. It could be your EOS1N is a specialist setup for some type of photography.>>>
I emailed the NPC Powerback people with no reply.
>>>Is it made by Canon or a third party? If it's not made by Canon, the chances are unfortunately that Canon won't be interested in helping either.>>>
I will give anyone who (IN USA) mailed free the NPC Powerback after I can get it off..If they tell me how to replace it with the Canon E0s_1 Back
>>>First things first. How and "if" the NPC back is removeable... >>>
It\'s stupid not to be able to use 35mm film in your Camera with the PowerBack on.
>>>I can understand your frustration. You're possibly the owner of a fairly specialised early release of the EOS1 or a model that has been heavily modified for a particular application.>>>
If it\'s so hard to take off what\'s it good for ?
>>>I suggest you take the camera to a Canon service centre and have them examine the back with a view to restoring it to using 35mm film. --grh.6. From : Ataribob (Ataribob@bellsouth.net)

>>>Just got a Canon EOS 1 to use as my new primary body to replace my Reb' [Rebel] 2000. Got it on eBay with the Power Booster and all I can say is WOW! This camera is everything I've expected and wanted and then some, I can just predict it is going to give me everything I ask of it and more. Planning on also upgrading soonish to the modern counterpart the EOS 1D Mark II N.>>>
RESPONSE: Get a grip on the EOS 1 with PDBE1 you have before jumping to the bigger, heavier digital model. A solid grounding in the modus operandi of the EOS 1, particularly as a film-based camera, is very important before making the jump to digital, which is completely different to the sensititives and technical nous one learns using film over a long period of time. You will see obviously there are myriad combinations to be set on the EOS 1 (I assume it is the EOS 1N?); your capacity to use these effectively will depend more on experience than a casual enthusiasm to tinker with them, for the wrong settings alone or in combination can potentially leave you with under or over-exposed images, delays in shooting or unexpected events (ie. you forgot you changed something). An example is the mirror lock-up function with or without self-timer 2/10 sec delay (a combination that is common when using larger tele lens); if you need to shoot "on the spur of the moment" and these two custom functions are both engaged, bang! You've lost the moment, as what will happen is a) the mirror will go up; and b) there will be a delay of 2 or 10 secs before the shutter fires; this happened to one of my colleagues recently and he was quite angry with himself. So ALWAYS keep track of custom functions you have changed by writing them down and check the camera's settings each and every time before starting an important assignment.
>>>While I've been able to get a lot of answers from this site about the camera, is there any where I could find an EOS 1 manual online for free (such as a PDF file)?>>>
RESPONSE: Have a look here in the MIR site for a pdf file for the EOS 1: ==> http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1/eos1manual/index.htm >>> --grh.
If not, I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out, but any help would be greatly appreciated.8. From : Co-Moderator, Gary Rowan Higgins (Australia) (nomail@encable.net.au)

I’ve been reading information on your website and just have to say, I’m still a little confused. Ok maybe more than a little. I just got a Canon Rebel XT a few months back and have been playing around with it. I’m very interested in photography and absolutely love taking pictures. As you may know, the camera takes awesome pictures with it on the regular mode…. However I was asked to take pictures at a wedding and want to use the other modes but am so afraid to. I’m a little confused yet on the f mode and don’t quite understand it.
<<>>
RESPONSE: 1/200 is the flash sync speed for the Rebel XT. A shutter speed of 1/4000 sec at f1.4 seems improbable to me; I think the figures are a little jumbled somewhere there.
>>>I love the example you have on the waterfall (by the way that picture is awesome)…>>>
RESPONSE: Which waterfall?
In the wedding photos they want me to take pictures with them in full focus but have the background a little off focus so that the focus is on them. I’m not understanding that setting.
>>>This is achieved chiefly by switching the camera to Av (aperature-priority) mode and selecting a shallow aperature (Av) of around f4 to f5.6 and focusing only the their faces (make absolutely certain their eyes are in focus or the big day will be ruined!). A short to moderate telephoto lens (Canon's EF 100mm macro is excellent for this) is an excellent option. Be aware that an Av of f8 to f11+ will start to bring the background in focus, which as you have noted is not wanted. The effect of background in/out of focus will vary with the distance you are from the bride and groom. I suggest you experiment in Av mode with 'limiting depth of field' as it is sometimes known, especially if you are not feeling confident, and leave the photography to a professional on such a very important occasion.>>>
>>>Also the church that I’m taking pictures in is pretty dark and they don’t want me to use flash. If I set the setting to P mode, what is the best ISO speed to use? 100 or 1600?>>>
RESPONSE: Flash is usually not permitted at wedding services. Use a faster film than ISO 100; I suggest ISO 400 or 800 print film and have a tripod handy just in case. A tripod, however, it generally too much trouble and can get in the way of the ceremony, so take a number of high speed films.>>>
>>>(and then do I need to change the shutter speed)? It just seems that of those pictures I’ve seen with 1600 (after the picture is taken) you can’s zoom in and get a clear picture. >>>
RESPONSE: Your capacity to "zoom in and get a clear picture" will depend on the lens you use, your position, the position of the bride and groom and the prevailing (ambient) light. Above all else, it will depend on your skill in judging the right moment to photograph.>>>
>>>Please try and clear things up for me as I want to take the best pictures I possibly can !! J Thanks, Karen>>>
RESPONSE: My recommendation is to get in a lot (and I do mean A LOT) of practice and fine tune your capacities (communication with people, venues, organisers, etc) and your understanding of the camera and techniques BEFORE submitting a willingness to photograph weddings or other important ceremonies, especially if you are being paid, or offered financial incentives to do so. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough as many a beautiful day has been ruined by unintentional errors on a photographer's part, and this can then open you up to a nightmare of attempting to "make good" from a parlous situation ie. the possibility of being sued or being charged the costs of reconducting a ceremony just for the photographs. --grh.9.

I’m a little confused yet on the f mode and don’t quite understand it. For example you mention that a photograph taking at 1/4000 sec at f 1.4 seconds…. My camera only goes to the 1/200… (does that mean you are using a larger lense)??
