Reliability

The
new
EOS-I has been designed specifically to handle
the heavy-duty work loads
of
a professional photographer.
Performance
is
ensured from
-4
°F
(-20
°C) up to
113
°F
(45
°C) at
85070
humidity.
1.
Thicker Body Material
Composed
of
extra-tough, glass fiber-reinforced
polycarbonate, the body cover
is
approximately 25%
thicker than other models. A base plating composed
of
nickel and copper adds support, while a black chrome
plating completes the camera body, making it tough enough
to withstand rough handling. Thick sections
of
non-slip
rubber make holding secure.
2.
Moisture-resistant Design
The camera
is
also highly dust- and moisture-resistant,
thanks to a cover sealing mechanism and the use
of
push
buttons,
levers,
and revolving dials that are more effective
at
preventing water from entering. (Much better than conven-
tional external slide switches.) Rubber seals and guards
protect all possible moisture entry areas.
Even if moisture should enter, important electrical
contacts are placed so
as
not to be affected. Shutter blades
and important electrical-contact areas are coated with a
water-repellent lubricant, too.
3.
Double Electrical Contacts
All important electrical
contacts have double terminals
to ensure proper operation.
Surfaces
of
data-transmitting
contacts are gold plated for
optimum contact.

Self-diagnosis Functions

All camera sequence control operations are monitored
by the main microprocessor to ensure reliability.
If
trouble
is
detected, the sequence
is
halted and a
"be"
warning
appears on the display panel. (Other cameras may not offer
this safety feature, which prevents improper operation.)
There's no problem with power, either. Automatic
battery checks are done during sequence operation to ensure
adequate power for finishing a process. Moreover, pressing
the battery check button under the palm door
gives
an
instant readout
of
battery power on the display panel.
Other warnings also ensure real reliability. The display
panel presents a row
of
blinking dashes
as
a warning if the
film
is
not loaded properly, for example. And a
row
of
dashes coming out
of
the cartridge symbol indicates correct
film advance and film rewind.

TTL·CT·SIR

AF

Ranging

System

The TTLCT-SIR (TTL Cross-Type Secondary Image
Registration) phase detection system determines focus
by
driving the lens after completing a sophisticated process
of
signal detection and calculations. The system splits light
rays
into four beams - two horizontal and two vertical -
that form images on the surfaces
of
four sensors. Focus
is
determ.ined first
by
analyzing horizontal and vertical image
data. This extra information speeds up the focus process.
Once this has been completed - a matter
of
microseconds
- the lens motor focuses the lens.

Sens

or

BASIS

The new BASIS (Base-Stored Image Sensor)
was
created to be accurate enough and reliable enough to meet
the standards
of
professional photographers. The result
of
extensive research,
it
consists
of
two,
47-bit horizontal line
sensors and two, 29-bit vertical line sensors, plus associated
amplifier circuitry that
is
housed in a clear-molded package.
By
integrating an amplifier with each individual element
of
the sensor instead
of
just having an amplifier section at the
output stage
as
CCDs
do,
BASIS preserves signal integrity
by
amplifying the electrical signals before they are read out
through switching. Signal purity
is
thus maintained, with
minimum noise and minimum loss
of
information. In addi-
tion, the
new
BASIS
is
equipped with an extra circuit that
boosts the signal ten times in order to improve sensitivity
and SI N ratio. The sensor pitch
is
also 10% finer than that
of
previous BASIS sensors, providing improved narrow-line
detection ability. Also, anti-reflection film coats the sensor's
light-sensing areas in order to stabilize signal detection.
