Loading and Unloading Film Unloading Film After the film's last frame is exposed, the camera rewinds the film automatically. When the film starts to rewind, the film advance and rewind indicator on the LCD panel will “flow” from right to left to indicate that the film is rewinding. The frame counter also counts in reverse. The film rewind ends automatically. Check that the < > icon on the LCD panel is blinking, then remove the film cartridge.
For quick and easy picture-taking, use the Program AE mode. This mode sets both the shutter speed and aperture automatically to suit the subject's brightness. Anyone can easily take pictures in this mode. By using the large Area AF ellipse in the viewfinder, it is easy to frame and capture a variety of subjects. 2 First set the < Quick Start With Program AE > switch to < >. The Program AE mode is set automatically as the camera's initial shooting mode. (→p.17) AE is an abbreviation for Auto Exposure.
Quick Start with Program AE Focusing point In-focus indicator Area AF ellipse 1 Select < > on the LCD panel. 2 Focus the subject. • While pressing the < > button, turn the < > dial to select < >. Then release the < > button. • Look through the viewfinder and aim the Area AF ellipse over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway. The focusing point which achieves focus flashes briefly. At the same time, the green in-focus indicator in the viewfinder is displayed.
Quick Start with Program AE 3 Make sure the exposure setting is not blinking, then press the shutter button completely to take the picture. Exposure Warnings If the shutter speed or aperture blinks, it means a correct exposure cannot be obtained. Although the picture can be taken, it may come out too bright or too dark. For details, see “Exposure Warning List” on page 124. • The focusing point which achieves focus flashes briefly. If the focusing point has been selected manually (→p.
Holding the Camera To obtain sharp pictures, hold the camera still to minimize camera shake. Horizontal shooting Vertical shooting • Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press your right elbow lightly against your body. • Hold the lens at the bottom with your left hand. • Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder. • To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other instead of lining up both feet.
The Area AF ellipse has 45 focusing points. By selecting the optimum focusing point, autofocusing can be executed while you maintain the desired subject framing. You can also set the AF mode to suit the subject or intended effect. 3 Using Autofocus (AF) First set the < > switch and < switch to < >.
AF Mode Selection AF stands for ‘autofocus’. The camera has two AF modes: One-Shot AF for still subjects, and AI Servo AF for moving subjects. (AI is an abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence.) Select the AF mode that suits the subject. 34 1 Set the lens focus mode switch to AF. 2 Set the AF mode. • While pressing the camera’s < > button, turn the < > dial until the desired AF mode is displayed on the LCD panel. Then release the < > button.
AF Mode Selection One-Shot AF for Still Subjects In-focus indicator Focusing point Pressing the shutter button halfway activates AF operation and achieves focus once. The focusing point which achieves focus flashes briefly and the in-focus indicator (●) in the viewfinder lights at the same time. • With evaluative metering, the exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) will be set when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus will be locked as long as the shutter button is pressed halfway.
AF Mode Selection AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects While you press the shutter button halfway, the camera 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 steadily approaches or retreats from the camera. • The exposure settings are set immediately before the picture is taken.
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 Point Selection The focusing point can be selected automatically or manually. • Automatic Selection From among the 45 focusing points, the camera selects the focusing point automatically to suit the subject. • Manual Selection (One of three groups of selectable focusing points can be used) (1) You can select one of the 45 focusing points manually. (2) You can select one of eleven focusing points (C.Fn 13-1/2) (3) You can select one of nine focusing points (C.Fn 13-3) * C.Fn-13 enables (2) and (3).
Focusing Point Selection Automatic Selection Press the < > button and turn the < > dial. Turn the dial until the viewfinder display is as shown on the left. You can also turn the < > dial. • While in the manual selection mode, shifting the focusing point beyond the peripheral focusing point will set the automatic selection mode. The automatic selection mode can also be set while C.Fn-13-1/2/3 has been set.
Focusing Point Selection (2) Manual selection limited to 11 focusing points C.Fn-13-1/2 Since the selectable focusing points are limited to 11, you can better concentrate on framing the subject. Although you select the focusing point in the same way as with the 45 focusing points, having fewer selectable focusing points makes it faster to select a focusing point. (→p.106) • You can select one of 11 focusing points. • Select the focusing point as described in “Basic Procedure for Focusing Point Selection.
Focusing Point Selection Selecting the center focusing point • Press the < > button and press the < > button. The center focusing point will be selected. When you select spot metering, it will be linked to the selected focusing point. (→p.52) C.Fn With C.Fn-18, you can select the center focusing point by pressing (and releasing) or holding down the < > button. (→p.109) C.Fn The manual selection method can be altered as follows: (1) C.Fn-11-1 gives the < (→p.105) (2) C.
Focusing Point Registration and Switching By registering the focusing point you often use, you can switch to it instantly. You can register an off-center focusing point which suits your preferred framing or the picture-taking moment. Any of the 45 focusing points can be registered. Only one focusing point can be registered. Registering a Focusing Point Automatic selection 1 Press the < > button which remains active for ( 6 ). Then turn the < > or < > dial to select the focusing point to be registered.
Focusing Point Registration and Switching • A focusing point can be registered even when C.Fn-13-1/2 has been set to limit the selectable focusing points to 11. (→p.106) • When C.Fn-13-3 has been used to limit the selectable focusing points to 9, a focusing point cannot be registered. (→p.106) • “SEL” stands for Select, and “HP” stands for “Home Position.” Switching to the Registered Focusing Point Normally, you press the < > button and < > button simultaneously to switch to the registered focusing point.
Focusing Point Activation Area C.Fn-17 C.Fn-17 can be set to expand the focusing point's activation area to include more than one active focusing point. (→p.108) • C.Fn-17-1 Expanding the activation area to 7 points C.Fn-17-1 (→p.108) This larger activation area makes it easier to focus subjects moving irregularly. • The expanded focusing point activation area is not displayed in the viewfinder.
Focusing an Off-Center Subject To focus a subject not covered by the Area AF ellipse, follow the procedure below. This technique is called focus lock. • Focus lock works only in the One-Shot AF mode. (→p.35) 1 Aim the focusing point on the subject and press the shutter button halfway to focus. 2 Keep pressing the shutter button halfway and recompose the picture as desired. 3 Take the picture.
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.
Focusing an Off-Center Subject (3) With the following Extenders and L-series lenses whose maximum aperture is brighter than f/8, the center focusing point will be sensitive to horizontal lines only. The other focusing points cannot be used for AF. • With Extender EF 1.4x: · EF 400mm f/5.6L USM · EF 500mm f/4.5L USM · EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM • With Extender EF 2.
When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing) Manual Focusing 1 Set the lens focus mode switch to MF (or M on older lenses). 2 Focus by turning the lens focusing ring until the subject is in focus in the viewfinder. • The AF mode indicator on the LCD panel turns off. • Select the desired focusing point and press the shutter button halfway while manual focusing. When focus is achieved, the selected focusing point will flash and the in-focus indicator will light.
Evaluative, partial, spot, and centerweighted averaging metering modes are provided. Center spot metering, focusing point-linked spot metering, and multi-spot metering can also be set. Select the metering mode that suits the subject or your photographic intention. 4 First set the < Evaluative metering Partial metering Spot metering Centerweighted averaging metering Metering Modes > switch to < >.
Selecting a Metering Mode 1 While pressing the < > button, turn the < > dial until the desired metering mode icon appears. Evaluative Partial Spot Centerweighted averaging 2 50 Release the < > button.
Metering Modes Evaluative Metering This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder is divided into 21 metering zones to which all the focusing points 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.
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.Fn13-3 has been set, the manuallyselected focusing point is linked to 2.4% spot metering. (→p.
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. 1 2 3 1 2 Set the spot metering mode. (→p.50) 3 Aim the focusing point over a midtone area and press the < > button once. Then do the same for a highlight area. Aim the focusing point over the shadow area and press the < > button. This obtains the first spot meter reading.
Metering Modes Multi-Spot Metering Display Fixed metering mark for the first spot meter reading Exposure level indicator (moving) before the second spot meter reading is taken. • This indicator shows the exposure level relative to the first spot meter reading. Exposure level indicator (moving) before the third spot meter reading is taken. • This indicator shows the exposure level relative to the second spot meter reading.

Exposure Warnings • If the lens’ maximum aperture (smallest f-number like f/1.4) blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the < > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking.
Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. The larger the aperture (smaller f-number) the more blurred the background will become. This effect is suited for portraits. The smaller the aperture (larger f-number), the clearer the focus will be for both near and far objects. * Av is an abbreviation for Aperture value.
Aperture-Priority AE 2 Turn the < > dial to set the desired aperture. 3 Press the shutter button halfway and focus the subject. 4 Take the picture. The shutter speed and aperture will be displayed. • As long as the shutter speed is not blinking, a correct exposure will be obtained. • If the shutter speed is slower than the reciprocal of the lens focal length (i.e. 1/200 for a 200mm lens), camera shake may cause a blurred picture.
Aperture-Priority AE Exposure Warnings • If the 30” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the < > dial to set a larger aperture (smaller fnumber) until the shutter speed stops blinking. • If the 8000 shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure.

This section helps you understand your camera and enjoy photography better. It gives reference information for your camera and introduces system accessories.
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.
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.
