1. Loading the Battery
This camera operates on a 6-volt, 2CR5 lithium battery, housed in the
grip.
•Refer to page 93 for additional information on the batteries of the EOS-\
1 N DP
model and page 96 for the EOS-1 N HS model and the EOS-1 N RS model.

1Using a coin or similar object, turn
the grip screw counterclockwise to
loosen the grip. The screw cannot
be removed from the grip.
2Slide the grip down to remove.
3Load the battery upside down into
the grip so that its terminals align
with the terminals in the battery
compartment.
•
The battery label should be facing
toward you and the terminals should
be on the bottom after the battery is
installed.     
4After placing the battery into the
front of the compartment, push it all
the way into the compartment as
shown in the illustration.
•To remove the battery from the grip,
press the battery ejector lever.
5Replace the grip on the camera and
turn the screw clockwise to firmly
lock it in place.      
Lithium batteries may not be available in some areas. Be sure to take al\
ong a spare when
going on a trip or embarking on an important shooting assignment.       \

2CR5 Lithium Battery Shooting Capacity
•Data based on Canon’s Standard Test Method using a new battery, EF50m\
m
f/1.4 USM lens and 24-exposure film. Values in parentheses are for 36-ex\
po-
sure film.
• Repeated autofocus operation without taking any pictures will reduce the\
 overall
shooting capacity.
• Refer to page 93 for the shooting capacity of the EOS-1 N DP model, page\
 96
for the EOS-1 N HS model and page 100 for the EOS-1 N RS model.
2. Checking the Battery Level
1Set the main switch to “ A”.
2Open the palm door and press the
battery check button.
3The battery check indicator ( ) is
displayed in the LCD panel. The
battery level is indicated as follows:
Fig. 1: Battery power sufficient.
Fig. 2:Have a new spare battery handy.Fig. 3: (blinking) The battery will soon
be exhausted. 
Fig. 4: (no display) Replace the battery with a new one.
(blinking):   Refer to page 7.    
• If nothing appears on the LCD panel when the main switch is set to “ A”, the battery
may be inserted backwards. Remove the battery and reinsert it correctly.\
• Exposure will be okay as long as the shutter releases.

6. Dioptric Adjustment
The viewfinder has a built-in dioptric adjustment mechanism that lets yo\
u
adjust the eyesight correction to achieve a sharp viewfinder image. This\
also allows near- or far-sighted users to take pictures without wearing
glasses. The diopter can be adjusted within a range of –3~+1 dpt.   
1Press inward on both sides (nonslip
grip sections) of the eyecup frame.
2While pressing in on the sides, slide
the eyecup frame up to remove.
3Look into the viewfinder and turn the
dioptric adjustment dial in either
direction until the five focusing
points or the fine spot metering area
mark appear sharp.
•The diagram shows the dial in the
standard position (no compensation:
–1 dpt).
4Reattach the eyecup to the camera.

{

The adjustment range is from –3 dpt to +1 dpt (diopter). For adjust\
ment exceeding this
range, use one of the optionally available Dioptric Adjustment Lenses.  \

7. Shutter Button Operation and Autofocus
The shutter button has a two step construction. Press halfway (to the f\
irst
step) to activate focusing and metering, and press completely (to the \
sec-
ond step) to release the shutter and make the exposure.     
1. Pressing Halfway
1) This activates autofocus. When thesubject is focused, the correspond-
ing focusing point momentarily lights
red and the green in-focus indicator
lights up in the viewfinder (in One-
shot AF mode).
•The autofocus system uses five
focusing points.
• The focusing point does not light
up in automatic focus point selec-
tion mode when the AF mode is
set to AI Servo.
• The in-focus indicator does not
light up in AI Servo AF mode.
2) At the same time, the camera deter- mines the shutter speed and aper-
ture value combination (exposure
value), and the results are displayed
in the LCD panel and viewfinder. If
you remove your finger from the
shutter button, a timer operates to
continuously display the exposure
settings for six seconds.
