It adjusts the amount of light striking the CCD sensor. The aperture value is displayed on the camera's top LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It can range anywhere from 1.0 to 91, depending on the lens attached to the camera. Basic Terminology Shutter speed The shutter speed is the length of time the camera's shutter opens to expose the CCD sensor to the light coming through the lens. It adjusts the amount of light striking the CCD sensor. Format When you format a CF card, it prepares the card to store data in it. It also erases any data stored on the card. Before formatting a CF card, be sure it has no valuable data. File names A file name is assigned automatically to each image you capture. The file name consists of a unique, fourcharacter camera code preset at the factory and a file (Example) 5F9Z0001.JPG number assigned automatically. The camera code cannot be changed. The file number is assigned automatically according to the numbering method you selected (→p.56). Extension File number Camera code The extension will be "JPG" for JPEG images or "TIF" for RAW images. For sound files, the extension will be "WAV." Firmware This is software containing various camera control instructions. The EOS-1D uses the firmware for shooting and image processing.

When you format a CF card, it prepares the card to store data in it. It also erases any data
stored on the card. Before formatting a CF card, be sure it has no valuable data.
File names
A file name is assigned automatically to each image
you capture. The file name consists of a unique, four-
character camera code preset at the factory and a file
number assigned automatically. The camera code
cannot be changed. The file number is assigned
automatically according to the numbering method you
selected (

p.56).
The extension will be “JPG” for JPEG images or “TIF” for RAW images. For sound files, the
extension will be “WAV.”

This is software containing various camera control instructions. The EOS-1D uses the
firmware for shooting and image processing. Although the firmware is preinstalled in the
