1.2 S OFTWARE OVERVIEW
1) EOS-1V Remote
This program is used for EOS-1V customization, shooting data downloading, select-
ing the shooting data items to be recorded, setting the film ID, setting the date and
time, and other functions.
(1) Customizable functions
Thirty-one P.Fn (Personal Functions) can be set (see Table 1-1). The settings and
descriptions are displayed on-screen (Fig. 1-4). The help menu also explains the
effects of the Personal Functions. (P.Fn-0 is set with a Custom Function.) The
Personal Function settings can be saved in the personal computer and read by the
camera later. The Combination dialog box (Fig. 1-5) lists the descriptions of Personal
Function settings. (This is also possible for Custom Function settings.)
The Personal Functions set with the EOS Link Software ES-E1 can be enabled or
disabled with the EOS-1V individually. However, the P.Fn setting itself cannot be
changed with the EOS-1V.

(2) Custom Functions
Excluding C.Fn-0, you can set 19 Custom Functions. P.Fn-0 is set with the Custom
Functiondialog box.
* To prevent its accidental setting which will result in exposure error, EOS Link
Software ES-E1 excludes C.Fn-0 from being user-settable.
Fig. 1-6 Custom Function dialog box.
(3) Shooting data
The Data Handling dialog box (Fig. 1-7) provides options to download the EOS-1V's
shooting data to the computer, delete the shooting data in the EOS-1V, or to start up
EOS-1V Memory after the shooting data is downloaded. It also indicates the number
of film rolls whose shooting data is stored in the EOS-1V.
The Shooting Data Items to be Recorded dialog box (Fig. 1-8) shows the shooting
data items recorded by the camera and the number of film rolls recorded. Table 1-2-
2 shows the shooting data items that can be recorded. The user can select which
shooting data items are to be recorded by the camera. (This can also be done while
film is in the camera.) The number of film rolls whose shooting data can be recorded
by the camera will vary depending on the number of shooting data items that are
recorded.
