English Edition  
INSTRUCTIONS  
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.  
The EOS-1V is a high-performance autofocus single-lens reflex camera  
equipped with high-precision Area AF.  
Photograph a wide variety of subjects under almost any condition. Let the  
camera do everything automatically or take full control. In any case,  
operation is simple with the electronic dials.  
Before taking pictures, read this instruction booklet and familiarize yourself  
with your new camera.  
Symbols  
The Caution symbol alerts you to actions to prevent picture-taking  
problems.  
The Note symbol gives additional information for basic camera  
operation.  
The Light bulb symbol offers helpful tips for operating your camera  
or taking pictures.  
Read “Handling Precautions” on page 6 to prevent camera malfunction and  
damage.  
Keep this instruction booklet handy for easy reference.  
Precautions  
• Before using the camera for an important event, be sure to take test  
shots to make sure the camera operates properly.  
• EOS cameras have a lens mount for dedicated operation  
(autofocusing, exposure control, etc.) with EF lenses. Using a non-EF  
lens with an EOS camera may result in improper camera or lens  
operation.  
Note that the warranty does not cover any camera malfunction or  
damage occurring with the use of non-Canon accessories.

Handling Precautions  
Camera Care and Storage  
(1) The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to  
physical shock.  
(2) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If the  
camera gets really wet, promptly consult your nearest Canon Service  
Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has  
been exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung damp cloth.  
(3) Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as in  
a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to  
malfunction.  
(4) The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to  
disassemble the camera.  
(5) Use only a blower brush to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder  
eyepiece, focusing screen, film compartment, and mirror. Do not use  
an organic solvent-containing cleaner to clean the camera body or  
lens. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon Service Center.  
(6) The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean. Be  
careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains. The shutter  
curtains can be easily deformed or damaged. Also, when loading and  
unloading film, be careful not to touch the shutter curtains.  
(7) Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise  
corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera  
operation.  
(8) If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the  
battery. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place. During  
the storage period, release the shutter a few times once in a while.  
(9) Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive  
chemicals are present.  
(10) If the camera has not been used for an extended period or if the  
camera is to be used for an important event, check the operation of all  
the camera controls or take it to your nearest Canon Service Center.  
(11) After detaching the lens from the camera, put on the lens caps or put  
down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface  
and electrical contacts.  
(12) Even when the Main Switch is set to <  
>, a small amount of power  
is still supplied to the camera's LCD panel. However, this does not  
affect the number of film rolls which can be taken with the battery.  
6
Handling Precautions  
LCD Displays  
In time, the camera's LCD panel display and the LCD display in the  
viewfinder may fade and become difficult to read. If this happens, have it  
replaced (at cost) by a Canon Service Center.  
At low temperatures, the LCD display response may become slower. And  
at 60˚C or higher temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case,  
the display will return to normal at room temperature.  
Lithium Batteries  
(1) The camera operates on one 2CR5 lithium battery. Check the battery  
level in the following cases (page 20):  
• After replacing the batteries.  
• After not using the camera for an extended period.  
• The shutter stops working.  
• The camera is being used in a low-temperature environment.  
• You will be shooting an important event.  
(2) Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove any  
fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections and  
corrosion.  
(3) Never disassemble or recharge the battery. Also, never store a battery  
in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery contacts or toss a  
battery into a fire.  
(4) Although the battery works well even at low temperatures, battery  
performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such a  
case, keep a spare battery warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warm  
the batteries alternately.  
How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation  
Even when  
blinks or not on the LCD panel, a proper exposure will be  
obtained as long as the shutter releases. However, when the battery  
becomes exhausted, film advance and auto rewind may not work and  
may blink on the LCD panel. After the battery is replaced with a new one,  
the film advance will resume. Also, pressing the rewind button will resume  
the film rewind operation.  
Contacts  
Lens Electrical Contacts  
After detaching the lens from the camera, put on the  
lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up  
to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical  
contacts.

If the viewfinder still does not look sharp after you turn the dioptric adjustment knob,  
use one of the E-series dioptric adjustment lenses (sold separately). (p.132)  
Film ID Imprinting  
A film ID No. consisting of a user-settable number (two digits) and a film roll  
No. (three digits) is imprinted automatically on the film leader. The user-  
settable number can be used to identify which EOS-1V body you used (if  
you have multiple EOS-1V bodies) to shoot that roll. The film roll No.  
counts up each time you load a roll of film into the camera. This way, you  
can check the order in which the rolls were exposed.  
The film ID is also used to match the shooting data recorded by the  
camera. The shooting data is transferred to a personal computer with the  
EOS LINK SOFTWARE ES-E1 (sold separately).  
22  
Film ID Imprinting  
Be sure to set the user-settable No. before loading the film. The film ID is  
imprinted automatically as it advances to frame 1 after loading. You cannot set

When the film is loaded, the ID icon will be displayed on the LCD  
• In low temperatures (–10˚C), the liquid crystal used for imprinting the film ID will  
have a slower response. Therefore, it may take a few seconds for the imprinting  
to be completed. To ensure proper film ID imprinting, do not start taking pictures  
until the ID icon on the LCD panel turns off. If you take a picture during film ID  
imprinting, the imprinting will be canceled and the picture will be taken.  
• Film ID imprinting is assured between 45˚C and –10˚C. In colder temperatures,  
the response of the liquid crystal will be extremely slow and the film ID might fail  
to be imprinted.  
• If a roll of film is rewound in midroll and later loaded into the camera again, the  
film ID will be imprinted over the previous film ID.  
• Depending on your photofinisher, the film leader where the film ID is imprinted

focuses continuously.  
• This AF mode suits moving subjects  
when the focusing distance keeps  
changing.  
• With predictive AF*, the camera can  
also focus track a subject which

the camera.  
• The exposure settings are set  
immediately before the picture is  
taken.  
• When focus is achieved in the AI Servo AF mode, the viewfinder's in-focus  
indicator does not light and the beeper does not sound.  
• If the viewfinder's in-focus indicator blinks, focus cannot be achieved.  
• The focus cannot be locked (except when Custom Function C.Fn-4 is set to 2.)  
About Predictive AF  
*
If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate,  
the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance  
immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus  
at the moment of exposure.  
With a manually selected focusing point, the focusing point will flash in red  
and focus track the subject.  
When the focusing point selection is automatic, the camera first uses the  
center focusing point to focus. If the subject later moves away from the  
center focusing point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is  
covered by another focusing point in the Area AF ellipse. The active  
focusing point does not light.  
With Custom Function C.Fn-4-2, you can lock the focus momentarily by  
C.Fn  
pressing the < > button even while the AI Servo AF is active. (p.100)

Area AF Ellipse and Focusing Points  
The Area AF ellipse is the area where the camera can focus the subject.  
The Area AF ellipse has 45 focusing points, making autofocus possible  
over a wide area in the viewfinder. You can concentrate on composing the  
picture without worrying about whether a focusing point is covering the  
subject. As long as the subject is within the Area AF ellipse, the camera will  
focus the subject automatically.

Focusing an Off-Center Subject  
AF Sensitivity According to the Lens' Maximum Aperture  
The EOS-1V's focusing points are all horizontal-line sensitive. However,  
depending on the maximum aperture of the lens, certain focusing points can  
achieve higher AF precision.  
(1) With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or  
larger, the focusing points highlighted in the  
figure become cross-type sensors sensitive to  
both vertical and horizontal lines. The remaining  
38 focusing points are horizontal-line sensitive.  
The sensor's vertical-line sensitivity is three  
times higher than the horizontal-line sensitivity.  
With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/3.5 or  
darker, all 45 focusing points will be horizontal-  
line sensitive except with the L-series lenses  
listed in (2) below.  
(2) With the following Extenders and L-series  
lenses whose maximum aperture is brighter  
than f/4, high-precision AF is possible with the  
center focusing point working as a cross-type  
sensor. The remaining 44 focusing points are  
horizontal-line sensitive (except with EF 70-  
200mm f/2.8L USM + Extender EF 1.4x).

When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)  
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the in-focus indicator blinks) with  
certain subjects such as the following:  
(a) Low-contrast subjects (blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.).  
(b) Subjects in low light.  
(c) Extremely backlit or reflective subjects (car with a reflective body, etc.).  
(d) Overlapping near and far objects (animal in a cage, etc.).  
In such cases, do one of the following:  
1. Focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus  
before recomposing.  
2. Set the lens focus mode switch to MF (or M on older lenses) and focus  
manually.  
If focus cannot be achieved with the AF-assist light of a Speedlite or ST-E2,  
select the center focusing point. An off-center focusing point might not be able to  
achieve focus.

are linked for evaluative metering.  
After detecting the main subject’s size,  
position, brightness, background, front  
and back lighting, etc., the camera sets  
the proper exposure.  
• During manual focusing, evaluative  
metering is based on the center  
focusing point.  
• If the subject brightness and  
background light level are very  
different (there is a strong backlight  
or spotlight), use partial metering  
(
) or spot metering ( ) instead.  
Partial Metering  
This mode is effective when the  
background is much brighter than the  
subject (due to backlighting, etc.). The  
metering is weighted at the center  
covering 8.5% of the viewfinder area.  
Spot Metering  
This is for metering a particular part of  
the subject or scene. The metering is  
weighted at the center covering 2.4%  
of the viewfinder area.

Metering Modes  
Centerweighted Averaging  
Metering  
The metering is weighted at the center  
and then averaged for the entire  
scene.  
Focusing Point-Linked Spot  
Metering  
To make focusing point selection  
faster, the selectable focusing points  
can be limited to 11 (C.Fn-13-1) or 9  
(C.Fn-13-3). When C.Fn-13-1 or C.Fn-  
13-3 has been set, the manually-  
selected focusing point is linked to  
2.4% spot metering. (p.40, 41, 106)  
During continuous shooting in the spot metering mode, AE lock is set  
automatically without the < > indicator displayed in the viewfinder.  
C.Fn C.Fn-13-2 can limit the manually-selectable focusing points to only 11 while  
keeping the spot metering linked to the center focusing point. (p.40, 106)  
52  
Metering Modes  
Multi-Spot Metering  
Multiple spot meter readings can be taken and then averaged  
automatically. As shown in the sample below, you can take multiple spot  
meter readings.

See the figure in “Multi-Spot Metering  
Display” on the next page. On the exposure  
compensation scale on the right of the  
viewfinder, the exposure level indicator  
moves around in real-time to indicate the  
spot meter reading’s current exposure level.

Depth-of-field AE  
Exposure Warnings  
• If the aperture blinks, the desired depth of field cannot be obtained. (However,  
you can still take the picture and obtain a proper exposure.) Use a wide-angle  
lens or move away from the subject and repeat steps 3 to 5.  
• If the 30” shutter speed and the  
lens’ maximum aperture  
(smallest f-number) blink, the  
scene is too dark and the  
picture cannot be taken in the  
depth-of-field AE mode.  
• If the 8000 shutter speed and  
the lens’ minimum aperture  
(largest f-number) blink, the  
scene is too bright. Use a  
neutral density (ND) filter to  
reduce the amount of light  
entering the camera.  
• When using a zoom lens, do not change the zoom focal length while using the  
depth-of-field AE mode.  
• After setting one or two dEP points, do not change the active focusing point.  
Doing so will cancel the dEP point(s) that has been set and you will have to  
start over with the newly selected focusing point.  
• If flash is used with the depth-of-field AE mode, the result will be the same as  
using Program AE with flash.  
• If depth-of-field AE is used with a lens having a focusing limiting switch (like the  
EF 300mm f/2.8 IS USM lens), set the switch to the maximum focusing  
distance range.  
63  
Depth-of-field AE  
• With automatic focusing point selection in the depth-of-field AE mode, only the  
center focusing point will be used for focusing.  
• If a slow shutter speed has been set, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.  
• If six seconds elapse before you complete the DEP procedure, the DEP  
point(s) set so far will be canceled. In such a case, you must start over again.  
• To cancel the depth-of-field AE mode midway, press the <  
> button, or < > button.

<
• To further increase the depth of field, use a wide-angle lens.  
• Setting dEP points 1 and 2 at the same point on the subject will make the  
depth of field shallow. The foreground and background will then be blurred,  
making the subject stand out. Using a telephoto lens enhances this effect.

Press the shutter button  
completely.  
• The self-timer lamp will start blinking  
to indicate that the self-timer has  
started. The lamp blinks faster during  
the last two seconds before the  
picture is taken.  
• To cancel the self-timer after it starts,  
set the < > switch to <  
>.  
When using the self-timer to photograph yourself only, first lock the focus  
(p.45) on an object at about the same distance where you will be.  
The 2-second delay is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating work to  
prevent camera shake (camera movement while the shutter button is pressed).  
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start  
the self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus.  
79  
Depth-of-field Preview  
Using the Eyepiece Shutter  
If you take a picture without looking through the viewfinder, stray light may  
enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure. To prevent this, use the built-in  
eyepiece shutter before taking the picture.  
To cover the eyepiece with the  
eyepiece shutter, turn the lever as  
shown by the arrow.  
To open the eyepiece shutter, turn the  
lever in the opposite direction.  
Depth-of-field Preview  
The depth of field is the range of  
acceptable focus in front of and behind  
the point of focus. The depth of field  
changes depending on the aperture.  
Press the depth-of-field preview button  
to stop down the aperture and preview  
this range of acceptable focus.  
• Pressing the depth-of-field preview button also sets AE lock.  
• The depth-of-field preview button does not function during AF operation.  
80  
Mirror Lockup  
Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-12 (p.106). This prevents mirror-  
caused vibrations which may blur the image during close-ups or when a  
super telephoto lens is used. To set this Custom Function, see “Selecting  
and Setting a Custom Functions” on page 96. When mirror lockup is set,  
the camera operates as follows.  
• When using mirror lockup, Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold separately) is  
recommended.  
Press the shutter button  
completely.  
1
The mirror locks up, and after 30  
seconds, it will go back down  
automatically. Pressing the shutter  
button completely again locks up the  
mirror again.  
Release the shutter button and  
press the shutter button  
completely again to take the  
picture.  
The picture is taken and then the  
mirror goes back down.  
2
• In very bright light such as at the beach or ski ground on a sunny day, take the  
picture promptly after mirror lockup.  
• During mirror lockup, do not point the camera lens at the sun. The sun’s heat  
can scorch and damage the shutter curtains.  
• If you use mirror lockup with the self-timer for a bulb exposure, there will be a  
shutter release sound when you release the shutter button during self-timer  
operation. This is not the sound of the shutter release.  
• During mirror lockup, the film advance mode will be single-frame shooting  
regardless of the current film advance mode.  
• If mirror lockup is used with the self-timer, pressing the shutter button  
completely the first time will lock up the mirror and release the shutter 10  
seconds or 2 seconds later (depending on the delay time selected).  
81  
LCD Panel Illumination  
The LCD panel is provided with  
illumination. The LCD panel  
illumination button < > turns the  
illumination on ( 6 ) and off. It makes  
the LCD panel readable in darkness.  
The LCD panel illumination turns off 2  
seconds after a picture is taken. For a  
bulb exposure, the illumination turns  
off when the bulb exposure starts.  
Pressing any button while the LCD panel is illuminated prolongs the illumination.

Flash Photography with Speedlite 550EX  
With Speedlite 550EX, flash photography is easy as any AE mode, and you  
can use the following features:  
• E-TTL autoflash  
With E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative  
metering), optimum flash exposure is  
obtained for the subject in focus. In the  
aperture-priority AE mode, a slow sync  
speed is set automatically in low-light  
situations to obtain a natural-looking,  
balanced exposure between the subject  
and background.  
• High-Speed Sync (FP Flash)  
High-speed sync (FP or focal-plane flash) enables flash synchronization  
with all shutter speeds from 30 sec. to 1/8000 sec.  
• FE (Flash Exposure) Lock  
FE lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure for any part of the  
subject. This is the flash equivalent of AE lock.  
• Flash exposure compensation  
Like normal exposure compensation, flash exposure compensation can  
be used to set the flash output up to 3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.  
• FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)  
As with AEB (autoexposure bracketing), flash exposures can be  
bracketed up to 3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.  
• E-TTL wireless autoflash with multiple Speedlites  
E-TTL autoflash can also be implemented with multiple wireless  
Speedlites. All the features listed above can be used, and no connections  
codes are required. Sophisticated lighting effects can be obtained as  
easily as using a Speedlite directly attached to the camera.  
• E-TTL is an abbreviation for Evaluative-Through-The-Lens.  
• With autofocus, the flash exposure is always based on the aperture (set  
automatically or manually) and autoflash metering is weighted at the current  
focusing point.  
• When it is difficult to autofocus, the 550EX’s built-in AF-assist beam is emitted  
automatically. The beam is linked to the active focusing point in the Area AF.

combination.  
• Flash exposure compensation can also be set with the camera.  
• If the multi-Speedlite system is wired with flash cords, TTL autoflash takes  
effect.  
• About automatic reduction of flash output  
If an EOS-dedicated Speedlite is used to illuminate a subject backlit by an  
overhead light, the flash output is reduced automatically to avoid having an  
unnatural-looking exposure. This is called automatic reduction of flash output.  
C.Fn C.Fn-14 can cancel the automatic reduction of flash output. (p.107)  
93  
Using Non-Canon Flash Units  
Sync Speed  
The EOS-1 V can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at  
1/250 sec. or slower shutter speeds. With large studio flash, the sync  
speed is 1/125 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash to see if it  
synchronizes properly with the camera.  
PC Terminal  
The camera’s PC terminal is provided for flash units using a sync cord. The  
PC terminal is threaded to prevent inadvertent disconnection. Only X-sync  
is used for synchronization at 1/250 sec. or slower.  
• A flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to the  
PC terminal can be used at the same time.  
• Canon EOS-dedicated Speedlites are recommended for use with this camera.  
• If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to a another  
camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and camera malfunction  
may result.  
• There are studio flash units whose sync cord  
polarity is opposite from the camera’s PC terminal.  
+ (plus)  
Such flash units do not work with the EOS-1V  
camera unless the polarity of the sync cable is  
changed. Consult the manufacturer of the flash  
unit or purchase a commercially-available polarity  
conversion cord. The camera’s PC terminal  
polarity is shown in the figure on the right.

Cautions when using the Power Drive Booster PB-E2 with the EOS-1 and EOS-1N  
• Do not use size-AA lithium FR6 batteries or the Nickel-Hydride Pack NP-E2  
with the EOS-1. Doing so may damage the EOS-1’s electronic circuitry due to  
the high battery voltage.  
• Do not use the Nickel-Hydride Pack NP-E2 with the EOS-1N. If the battery  
voltage gets really low, battery pack performance may deteriorate markedly.

Basic Photography Terms  
Exposure  
Exposure occurs when the film is exposed to light. Correct exposure is  
obtained when the film is exposed to a proper amount of light in  
accordance with the film’s sensitivity to light. The correct exposure is  
adjusted with the camera’s shutter speed and aperture.  
Shutter speed  
The shutter speed is the length of time the camera’s shutter opens to  
expose the film to the light coming through the lens. The shutter speed is  
displayed on the camera’s LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It ranges from  
30 to 1/8000 sec. and bulb.  
Aperture  
The aperture setting (f-number)  
indicates the size of the aperture  
opening in the lens. It is used to adjust  
the amount of light striking the film.  
The aperture setting is displayed on  
the camera’s LCD panel and in the  
viewfinder. It can range anywhere from  
1.0 to 91, depending on the lens  
attached to the camera.  
ISO film speed  
The ISO film speed indicates the film’s sensitivity to light. The higher the  
film speed, the more sensitive the film is. Therefore, ISO 400 and higher-  
speed films are suited for low-light conditions. The ISO film speed is set in  
accordance with standards set by the International Standardization  
Organization (ISO).  
A film speed from 6 to 6400 can be set with the camera. The film speed is  
displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.

Basic Photography Terms  
Depth of field  
This is the range where acceptable focus can be achieved in front of and  
behind the point of optimum focus. The smaller the aperture (the larger the  
f-number), the deeper the depth of field. And the larger the aperture (the  
smaller the f-number), the shallower the depth of field.  
The depth of field is affected as described below:  
(1) A smaller aperture (a larger f-number) increases the depth of field.  
For example, stopping down to f/8 obtains a greater depth of field than  
f/4.5.  
(2) A lens with a shorter focal length increases the depth of field.  
A wide-angle lens obtains a deeper depth of field than a telephoto lens.  
(3) A longer distance between the camera and subject increases the depth  
of field.  
(4) The depth of field behind the point of optimum focus is longer than the  
depth of field in front of the point of optimum focus.

Program Line Description  
The bottom horizontal axis represents the shutter speed and the right  
vertical axis represents the aperture. On the left edge and top edge of the  
graph, the Exposure Value (EV) is indicated for respective shutter speed  
and aperture combination set by the Program AE mode and denoted by the  
colored program line.  
Example: When the subject brightness is EV 12, the point where the  
diagonal line from EV 12 (on the top edge of the graph) intersects the  
program line indicates the corresponding shutter speed (1/320 sec.) and  
aperture (f/3.5) which the program sets automatically.  
The arrowhead lines above the graph indicate the metering range for the  
respective film speed.

Shutter Speed and Aperture Readouts  
Shutter speed readout  
The shutter speed is normally displayed in 1/3-stop increments. Numbers  
from “4” to “8000” denote the denominator of the shutter speed fraction. For  
example, “125” is 1/125 sec. Also, 0"3 is 0.3 sec., and 15" is 15 sec.  
Aperture readout  
The aperture is normally displayed in 1/3-stop increments. The larger the  
number, the smaller the aperture opening. The range of aperture numbers  
(f-numbers) displayed depends on the lens used.
