Introduction - Canon EOS 1 Instructions Manual

Introduction
Thank you for selecting
a
Canon autofocus SLR
camera.
With the distinction of being Canon 's top of the
line AF SLR, the EOS-1 represents the sum to-
tal of considerable efforts to design a camera
that meets the requirements of the most de-
manding professional photographers. These
people know exactly what their needs are and
will appreciate the detail and design consider-
ations that have been incorporated in the
EOS-1 .
There are three main points in the design of the
EOS-1 to which particular attention has been
paid :
4
1. To allow the photog" rapher complete concen-
tration on picture composition.
2. To support photographer's freedom of
choice by allowing complete control of bas-
ic camera operations.
3. To provide the necessary, performance for
today's expanded shooting opportunities.
Using new technology, the EOS-1 has the
fastest, most responsive AF in the EOS series,
a more comprehensive metering system , Pre-
dictive Focusing for moving subjects, and en-
hanced reliablity to handle difficult shooting
conditions. Custom Function Control gives you
the freedom to set certain functions to your
preference.
There is a full line of
EF
lenses, Speedlites, and
important accessories such as the Power Drive
Booster E1 and Command Back E1 which meet
the requirements for a variety of shooting tasks.
