Lenses behave somewhat differently with the EOS•DCS than with a conventional EOS 35mm SLR. The exact details appear in the Specifi- cations appendix.

You will not be able to shoot when the camera is in One Shot AF mode if the camera cannot focus. Choose another focus mode, or take some other action. (Refer to “3. Difficult Subjects for Autofocus,” in the supplied EOS-1 N Instructions.)

A frame line indicating the actual picture area has been added to the pre-installed focusing screen to match the size of the picture that will be recorded by the CCD imager. Frame the scene within this rect- angle.

Custom Functions 1 and 2 (film related) must be set to zero.

Battery check information displayed in the camera top LCD panel should be ignored; instead, use the camera back LCD battery level indicator.

The “ON” (I) setting of the EOS•DCS power switch corresponds to the EOS-1 N “A” setting and the “OFF” (O) setting corresponds to the “L” setting. Set Custom Function 3-1 to obtain the g))) setting (for in-focus beeper).

The camera top LCD frame counter displays a reference number for the picture you have just taken rather than the next picture you will take. The reference numbers cycle from 1 to 39 and then repeat.

Check the camera back LCD panel to determine the number of exposures remaining on the PCMCIA card.

WARNING: Do not connect a non-dedicated electronic flash unit to the camera (hot shoe or PC terminal) without verification from a Canon authorized service facility that the flash unit is compatible with the camera body. Some electronic flash units will damage the camera body unless they are isolated with an IR slave or a radio slave. Check with a Canon authorized service facility for compatible equipment. (Refer to the Chapter 7 for additional information.)
