While the primary function of the EOS-1N RS is to be used mainly for shooting action subjects, the camera can also be utilized for other aspects of general photography. If the RS is the only camera that you may have (not all users can afford two, three or more high-end camera bodies like professionals and advanced amateurs do), rest assured it can also be used to shoot other subject matters as well, and is not confined to only sports and action photography. Abstract, still-life and candid shots are among those subjects that the EOS-1N RS can capture very well and faster too, when compared to other 35mm SLR cameras. If you use the camera in RS and One Shot AF modes (AI Servo AF not possible during RS), you will be amazed at the rapid ease and speed that this model records images on film. If you have been frustrated in not getting the desired results on film due to the slowness of your old camera, the RS can capture it in a split second and you will know immediately whether you have got the shot.

The ultra-fast 0.006 second shutter release when the camera is set in its RS mode allows me to record the spontaneous moment each time I see it unfolding. Or the fact, I got the candid shots I wanted and walked away without the subject realizing what had transpired. In the candid photos below, only the second shot was actually photographed without the two race queens ever knowing what was happening. The rest of the photos were shot at the starting grid, where no one really cared how many candid pictures you could shoot within the permitted ten-minute session allowed before the race got underway. Back view for a change Real candid shot in RS mode     A rare sight indeed Thai driver C. Nattavude Okay, I admit that the third photo from above is indeed a rare sight for most people, especially those who have never or don't attend motorsport events. Even I was taken aback when this sight was unfolding right before my eyes - there are not many racing events where the race drivers have had to carry the umbrellas shielding them from the blazing sunlight on a hot afternoon day. This is usually handled by the respective teams' own umbrella girls (also known as race queens) at the starting grids. But only the teams that are well-funded or heavily sponsored can afford to do so and the privateers usually can't. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .
