Dioptric Adjustment
Film ID Imprinting
By adjusting the diopter to suit your vision (with or without eyeglasses), the
viewfinder image will look clearer. The camera’s adjustable dioptric range
is –3 to +1 dpt.
A film ID No. consisting of a user-settable number (two digits) and a film roll
No. (three digits) is imprinted automatically on the film leader. The user-
settable number can be used to identify which EOS-1V body you used (if
you have multiple EOS-1V bodies) to shoot that roll. The film roll No.
counts up each time you load a roll of film into the camera. This way, you
can check the order in which the rolls were exposed.
The film ID is also used to match the shooting data recorded by the
camera. The shooting data is transferred to a personal computer with the
EOS LINK SOFTWARE ES-E1 (sold separately).
