In addition, shooting data - such as film speed, shutter speed, aperture, lens focal length, and the time and date the photos are captured, will be printed at the back of each APS print. These features alone are enough to make a 35mm EOS owner look at the EOS 1X more closely if he/she is interested to invest in an APS camera. When is the right time to use which format? There are no fixed rules in this as it is up to the individual to choose. If you think a particular scene will look better with the Panorama, then you can select the switch to enable the camera to record it in the P format. Like any APS camera, the EOS ~ will not mask the frame of the film to enable a panorama print, but memorized the shooting and imprinted the data on the APS film. The imprinted data will be read by the appropriate APS minilab, after which it will automatically prints the Panorama size unless you have requested the lab to override the data and choose either the Classic or HDTV format instead. But to avoid any hassle after having the APS film developed, you may want to choase the Classic format instead if you don't have any APS photo album on standby. Classic Format Gallery Abstract of GP motor home Another abstract     This is another motor home Beauty queens in a row The above four photos were all shot using the EOS 1X's silver-colored EF 24-85mm zoom lens. The first three were shot during a leg of the European Road Racing Championship, the summer sunlight was perfect without any harsh shadows and for the beauty queens, the photo was photographed using the camera's built-in flash. Backlighting wasn't a problem for the camera's metering system, which handled the umbrella girl shot (below) very well. Okay, her umbrella helped shield most of the backlit sunlight but the fact remain that if you want to shoot any photo this way, the focus and meter reading should not be placed on the wrong area when composing the picture. Available light? Look no further than the photo of the three children during a Chinese New Year performance, shot with the EF 80-200mm f/2.8L AFD zoom lens. The camera also performed beautifully when it was set in its AI Servo AF mode, which I had used to capture the 250cc category of the European Road Racing Championship, as shown in these photos.
