EOS-1V/EOS-3
Active Mirror Control
Canon’s Active Mirror Control method replaces
the conventional approach of suppressing mirror
bound shock from the rear. The ground-break-
ing mechanism reduces mirror shake, confining it
to a short duration and suppressing the shake
immediately after it occurs. As a result, mirror
blackout time is remarkably reduced. Because the
wave height of mirror shake is low after its
bounce is suppressed, the finder image stabilizes
quickly after the shutter is released in single and
continuous shooting. The user always has a clear
and sharp viewfinder image.
Shutter
Their electronically controlled rotary magnet
shutter eliminate the possibility of operational
trouble. It ensures constant operation that
remains as accurate as its original performance
even after long use and under severe shooting
conditions. The shutter blades are made of car-
bon fiber and super-duralumin, for high reliabili-
ty in all shooting conditions over extended use.
This has been confirmed by in-house testing in
which the unit recorded in excess of 150,000
shutter-cycles. The unit performs high-speed
shutter operation with exceptional accuracy at a
maximum shutter speed of 1/8,000 second and a
maximum flash sync speed of 1/250 second.

PB-E2 Power Drive Booster (CAPBE2)
The PB-E2 is a high-performance motor drive that
replaces the standard grip of the EOS-3 or EOS-1v when
mounted. When powered with the NP-E2 NiMH battery
pack, it delivers high-speed continuous AF shooting of up
to 7 frames per second (fps) on the EOS-3 and 10 fps on
the EOS-1v.
The booster’s controls include a shutter button, AE lock
button, focusing point selection button, and FE lock/multi-spot metering button. Vertical
grip controls provide the same operating ease in the vertical as when used in the horizontal
position. Plus the winding torque of film advance is automatically increased in cold
temperatures or when battery power is running low to improve performance. The PB-E2
can also be powered by 8 AA-size alkaline, nicad, NiMH or lithium batteries..............384.95
BM-E2 Battery Magazine (CABME2): This magazine
is dedicated to and comes with the PB-E2 Power
Drive Booster. It holds eight size-AA alkaline,
lithium, NiMH or Nicad batteries...................49.95
NP-E2 NiMH Pack
(CANBPE2): A large-capacity
battery pack dedicated to the Power Drive Booster
PB-E2, it can be recharged over 500 times. When
fully charged, it has enough power for 70 rolls of
36-exposure film.............................................124.95
NC-E2 NiMH Charger
(CANCE2): This dedicated
charger quickly recharges the NP-E2 NiMH Pack,
taking about 90 minutes for one pack. It also
prevents excess charging. Two packs can be
attached at one time. The discharge feature (taking
about 8.5 hours) cancels the NP-E2 memory
effect. Runs on 100-240v AC..........................319.95

EOS-3
The EOS-3 features continuous shooting of
up to 4.3 fps in One-Shot AF mode and 3.3
fps in AI-Servo AF. Attach the PB-E2 with
AA batteries, the EOS-3 can shoot
continuously at 6 fps in One-Shot AF and 5
fps in AI-Servo AF. Use the PB-E2 with the
NP-E2 NiMH battery pack, and the EOS-3
achieves a maximum speed of 7 fps in
either One-Shot AF or AI-Servo AF.
EOS-1V (HS)
The world’s fastest camera, the EOS-1V
features continuous shooting of up to 3.5
fps in One-Shot AF mode and 3 fps in
AI-Servo AF.
Attach the PB-E2 with AA batteries and it
becomes an EOS-1v HS shooting up to 6
fps in One-Shot AF and 5 fps in AI-Servo
AF. Use the PB-E2 with the NP-E2 NiMH
battery pack, and the EOS-1v HS achieves
10 fps and 9 fps respectively.
GR-E2 Grip
(CAGRE2): Replacement grip for EOS-1v and EOS-3 that don’t have a built-in
power booster. Also required for the EOS 1
V HS when the power booster is removed from
the camera body...................................................................................................................44.95
