Modern Classic SLRs Series :
Canon EOS-1 Series SLR camera models - Message Board/Guestbook

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.

This is truly a great website in the making. I have been using my EOS Rebel and has little knowledge with previous Canon history and this site has given a detailed explanation of what I intended to find out all these years. I do mostly close up photo and didn't realize there are so many other options I can go for (even the older Canon). These are incredibly useful to someone like me (the pictures showcased are excellent macro photos !) Thank you for sharing all these information. Have a good day, Mr. Leo

Jump to this link. It's in pdf format (4.8Mb), so to read it, you will need Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.

EOS-1N? Or EOS-1? EOS1N does it this way http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EOS-1N/Basic-Info/index1.htm for the EOS-1, yes. The power source is the 2CR5 Lithium. To change, loosen the screw at the bottom right of the camera body (coin or anything that works) and remove the hand grip. Insert the new battery by sliding it at an angle and oush it inside. The convex side of the battery must point inwards and the contacts downwards. Replace the handgrip and secure and tighten the screw. Simple.

I have just bought an EOS 1, it did not come with a batt. Do I need a 2CR5 batt and how does it fit into the batt chamber? Does it just click in or do i need to fit the batt into a case then into the batt chamber. I'm not sure if there is a part missing as the camera is second hand. Thanks

I think I pretty much understand the basic’s, but what about the zoom feature. I just bought a canon Rebel xt with a lens kit 18-55. How can I take what you said in conjunction with my lens? I understand that there is a difference between 18-55 that would change one setting to the next. I’d like to know how?

To be very honest with you, I don’t know much but I’m interested in learning. I just got my camera 4 days ago and took over 600 pictures trying to figure out the modes. I also ordered 3 books from Amazon and can’t wait until they arrive. If you have an extra minute would you be able tell me how to take good family pictures with or without flash indoors? I have a week to figure it out but I’m not sure what settings to use but the automatic one (but it doesn’t record RAW) Any advise would most certainly be appreciated since I have a week to get some good photos. (maybe the A-DEP mode would work best) Thank you for your time and efforts! Mark

Digital cameras can pretty well look after themselves in terms of exposure, particularly determining when a scene requires additional illumination, that is, activating flash for fill flash to avoid deep, heavy shadows (assuming the camera has a built-in flash or you have, or are considering purchasing, a Canon flash). I think composition is much more important than blithely snapping away. That said, I'd be inclined to make family images at intermediate focal lengths ie. 40-50mm and reserve the 18mm end for really getting a lot in the frame (but not so much that there is no distinct lack of central element for the viewer). A-DEP, similar to the DEP mode on EOS 1/1N, 5/A2E etc may work differently to what I am accustomed to (not that I use it that much!). Use the P (Program) mode with flash to take care of shadows (on bright sunny days); also use flash on dull days to give a bit of sparkle to eyes ("highlights"). If you aim the camera straight at your subject staring back at the camera, the "just awful" red eye will bite you where it hurts. So vary your composition with different poses (relaxed, candid, from a distance etc). Good luck!

Thanks again, Gary! I changed the battery and it still blinks 'bc'. I was playing around with it and after focusing, I try to press the shutter release all the way down...and when looking through the viewfinder...it almost looks as if it wants to release the shutter...it's hard to explain, but I see a sort of flicker but the shutter doesn't fully release. I think I may have to take it in to be looked at. Would you suggest a Canon repair/dealer or do you think a trip to the local camera store for a look-see would suffice? Thanks!

It does sound like there is a definite problem, especially mention of flickering (internal viewfinder display?) when shutter is fully pressed and the camera actually doesn't do anything. I would highly recommend a Canon specialist, or a reputable, well known repair firm that has detailed knowledge of Canon. For a time, I experienced internal display flickering on my EOS 5; related problems were attended to (dry joints caused by exposure to salt spray and humidity), but the camera *hates* cool, damp, humid conditions: in such conditions the displays (in and out) fade away completely, returning once conditions normalise; I have to keep it in a small 6-pack Esky, but it will still play up and it infuriates me when I cannot photograph a rainforest in wet conditions because I can't see what the EOS 5 is doing! (Hence I now own an EOS1N for a little bit more surety of function in inclement conditions!). The "illness" of my 11-year old, world-weary '5' is terminal and Canon hasn't been able to fix it "within reasonable cost-efficiency" span. Could be a similar problem with your EOS 1, but this is sitting on the fence--take it to a reputable dealer to get that pup looked after properly.
