EOS-1V IR-proof

["Willem-Jan Markerink" <w.j.markerink@xxxxx>]

Interesting detail about the new EOS-1V pro body:

Film transport
--------------
The EOS 1V provides automatic film loading using a sprocketless system.
The camera is capable of continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per
seconds. This matches the shooting speed of the EOS 1N RS, but unlike
the RS the EOS 1V has a hinged reflex mirror which moves up and down
between each exposure (the RS uses a fixed semi-transparent pellicle
mirror). 
  One of the benefits of this improved performance is the reduction in
viewfinder blackout time from 140 milliseconds on the EOS 1N to 80
milliseconds on the EOS 1V. The film transport system inside the EOS 1V
uses an infrared sensor to control the frame advance. This system as
used on some other EOS models can fog part of the image area of the
film. On the new camera, the sprocket area of one edge of the film is
fogged, but a new optical system for the sensor prevents fogging of the
picture area. This means that all types of infrared film can be used
with the EOS 1V.
