Camera Overview — Canon EOS 1N

The Canon EOS 1N is a professional-grade 35mm SLR film camera built around the Canon EF lens mount, making it fully compatible with the extensive EF lens ecosystem. It captures images on standard 35mm film at the full 24x36mm frame size — a true full-frame format with a 1.0x crop factor — giving photographers the classic look and feel of analog photography without compromise. The autofocus system uses phase detection with 5 selectable focus points, delivering reliable and precise subject acquisition.

Burst shooting is supported at up to 6 frames per second, a notably capable rate for a film body. ISO sensitivity spans from 6 to 6400, offering a wide range for everything from bright outdoor work to low-light environments. The body is constructed from polycarbonate with weather-resistant seals, providing meaningful protection in challenging shooting conditions.

It weighs 855g and measures 161 x 112 x 72mm — substantial but manageable for a professional film SLR. The optical pentaprism viewfinder delivers 100% frame coverage with a dioptric adjustment range of -3 to +1. A top-mounted monochrome LCD panel provides shooting data at a glance.

The flash system supports TTL metering with Canon Speedlite EX and EZ series flashes via a standard ISO hot shoe. The primary battery is the 2CR5 lithium cell, with optional BP-E1 and PB-E1 battery packs for extended use in the field.
