Three Things to Know About the Canon EOS-1 N 35mm Film SLR Camera

Capture special moments on 35mm film with the EOS-1 N SLR camera. This camera from Canon allows you to adjust its settings for complete creative control. You can find new and pre-owned Canon EOS-1 N cameras available on eBay.

What film does this camera take?

The Canon EOS-1 N accepts any 35mm film, including color, black-and-white, and infrared film. If you use film that is designated as DX film, the Canon EOS-1 N will automatically adjust its speed settings to match the speed of the DX film. DX film is labeled with a camera auto-sensing code that the Canon can read. The DX code also automatically tells the camera the number of exposures and the exposure tolerance of the film. If you aren't using DX film, you can set the film information in the camera manually. See the Canon EOS-1 N manual for step-by-step instructions on how to do that.

When should you use the Canon EOS-1_x001A_s manual-focus mode?

The Canon EOS-1 N has a fast and accurate autofocus mode that works well for most shooting situations. However, some lighting and practical circumstances make it difficult for any camera to focus accurately in automatic mode. That's why this camera gives you the ability to change to manual focus with a quick switch of a lever on the camera_x001A_s body. You might like to use manual-focus mode when you're photographing:

  • Animals in a zoo with fencing in front of them.
  • A misty morning scene with low contrast between the subject and background.
  • Night scenes in a very dark setting.
  • Subjects that are strongly backlit, such as with snow behind them.
What are the features of the Canon EOS-1 N?

The Canon EOS-1 N captures images on 35mm film. When you load in a new roll of film and close the cover, the film will automatically advance to the first frame. When you've finished shooting a roll of film, you can choose between fast and silent film rewind. Silent rewind comes in handy when you're changing film indoors, such as at a wedding hall or museum. Some of the main features of this camera are:

  • Autofocus sensor: Five selectable focus points provide a wide area of focusing coverage.
  • Shooting speed: It can capture up to six frames per second.
  • Metering: Choose from five metering patterns to control each photo's exposure.
  • Program mode: This mode automatically adjusts the focus and exposure settings.
  • Custom functions: Select from 14 custom functions to change the camera's settings to match your photography style.
