Sport Shooter's Lens

The EOS-1D is fully E-TTL compatible with all of the Canon "EX" series speedlights thanks to the dedicated flash hot shoe. Shown here with the model 550EX which can wirelessly trigger other 550EX or 420EX speedlights. The EOS-1D can X-sync up to 1/500th of a second making it perfect for daylight fill or high-speed flash shots. The standard PC sync connector allows you to connect the EOS-1D to studio lighting or other external flash units regardless of polarity.

The eyelevel viewfinder on the EOS-1D offers a 100% coverage (vertically and horizontally with respect to the effective pixels), this is as good as it gets. It has a 20mm eyepoint and -3.0 -- +1.0 diopter correction. On the side shown here is the eyepiece shutter lever to block light from entering during selftimer or long shutter exposures. The diopter correction knob is on the other side.

The back of the EOS-1D is the heart of its digital side. The large and bright 2-inch color LCD lets you review your images and access the menu system. The controls are well laid out and highly functional.

Here's a closeup view of the color LCD and associated buttons. On the left from top to bottom; Protect/unprotect images and voice annotation button. Menu calls up the onscreen menu system. The Select button is held down while rotating the large Quick Control Dial on the back to make menu selections. The Display button puts the camera into playback mode. The trash can button is used for deleting images.

The monochrome LCD shows the selected white balance option, image size and quality, folder name and file number. The "CARD" icon tells you that there is a CF card in the camera. The five icons in the upper left are used during image playback to control the display. The buttons below the data LCD are used to change the image quality, white balance and white balance bracketing. Off to the right is the Quick Control dial and its on/off switch, below that is the main power switch. Those four small holes to the left of the power switch is the microphone.
