Page No.
0,  1:This option makes it possible to
match the EOS-1 N’s button opera-
tions to the photographer’s existing
camera (EOS-1 or EOS 5•A2/A2E).
2:
This option lets the user track the subject
with the focusing point in real-time by
operating the quick control dial, which is
useful when tracking a moving subject
using the focus prediction control in AI
Servo AF mode. 
To set the aperture during exposure com-
pensation or manual exposure, press the
focusing point selection button and turn
the main dial.
This is effective for preventing camera
shake caused by mirror operation shock
when making long exposures. Use of a
tripod is recommended.
Set to suit your shooting style and the
environment.
• In the RS mode, there is no beeping.
This function links spot metering to the
focusing point, allowing the user to spot
meter the subject without changing the
framing of the scene.
This function prevents underexposure
of strongly backlit subjects, such as
when shooting portraits backed by light
from the late afternoon sun.

A combination of the EOS-1 N with the compact Battery Pack BP-E1 pro-
vides a switch that lets you power the camera either from the standard
2CR5 lithium battery stored in the grip or from four AA-size (LR6) alk\
aline-
manganese or Ni-Cd batteries housed in the battery pack. This dual pack
(DP) system lets you use AA-size batteries during normal temperature
shooting and switch to the 2CR5 lithium battery when shooting in cold
conditions. Moreover, the camera will operate even when only one of the
two battery types is installed. Also, the Handstrap E1 (optional) can \
be
attached to improve holding stability.
•
Battery Pack BP-E1 is compatible with both the EOS-1 N and the EOS-1.

Additional Information for the EOS-1 N DP Model
1) 2CR5:
Camera is powered from the
2CR5 lithium battery stored in the
grip.
2) LR6: Camera is powered from the AA- size alkaline-manganese or Ni-
Cd batteries housed in the bat-

• Do not change the power source during
camera operation (such as during film
rewinding or long exposures), since it
may cause misoperation.

							96A combination of the EOS-1 N with the Power Drive Booster E1 expands
the choice of film winding modes to three and benefits from higher shoot\
-
ing capacity (refer to page 98). Moreover, the EOS-1 N HS is designed \
for
improved operability with features such as a separate shutter button and\
AE lock button ( ) for vertical shooting.
Power is supplied by eight AA-size alkaline-manganese batteries (or AA-\
size Ni-Cd or AA-size lithium batteries*), or by the optionally availab\
le Ni-
Cd Pack E1 and dedicated Ni-Cd Charger E1. Also, the Handstrap E1
(optional) can be attached to improve holding stability.

Attaching the Standard Grip
The Battery Pack BP-E1 or Power Drive Booster E1 can be removed and
replaced with the EOS-1 N’s standard grip GR-E1 (optional) using th\
e
procedure below.
1Load a battery into the standard grip
GR-E1 (see page 14).
2Turn the Battery Pack BP-E1/Power
Drive Booster E1’s attachment knob
to loosen, then pull the assembly
downward to remove from the cam-
era.
For EOS-1 N HS users, attach the
booster coupler cover (supplied with
the GR-E1) to the camera’s booster
coupler.  
3Attach the standard grip to the cam-
era, and tighten the attachment
screw so that the grip is firmly
attached.
4Attach the contact protector cover
(supplied with the GR-E1) to the
Battery Pack BP-E1/Power Drive
Booster E1 to protect the electronic
contacts.

Additional Information for the EOS-1 N RS Model
In addition to all the features of the EOS-1 N, the EOS-1 N RS also has \
a
fixed, hard-coat, new pellicle mirror, a  high-speed motor drive, and th\
e
RS mode. The EOS-1 N RS is a single-lens reflex camera having the
fastest AF (autofocus) operation.
Major Features of the EOS-1 N RS
■In the RS mode, the short shutter release time lag of 0.006 sec. helps
you capture the decisive moment more easily.
■ A high-speed continuous shooting speed of 10 frames per sec. can
be attained.
■ Since the hard-coat, new pellicle mirror is fixed, the image in the
viewfinder is not blocked out during the exposure. This brings the fol-
lowing advantages:
•While looking through the viewfinder, you can see the image at the momen\
t of
exposure.
• While looking through the viewfinder, you can confirm whether the flash \
is syn-
chronized.
• Even during continuous shooting, the subject’s image in the viewfinde\
r is
steady.
• For flash photography at slow shutter speeds, it is easier to decide the\
 timing of
the flash.
• For multiple flash exposures or multiple exposures on a single frame, it\
 is easier
to set the composition.
• You can notice any camera shake during the moment of exposure.
Note:•The EOS-1 N RS’s battery magazine cannot be separated from the camera\
body. Therefore, the battery magazine cannot be replaced with the GR-E1 \
nor-
mal grip or the BP-E1 size AA battery pack.
