EOS Documentation Project

Who are we?

The EOS Documentation Project was formed in response to the growing number of requests for operating instructions for old EOS cameras, flashes, and lenses. A core group of 6 members from the EOS Mailing List founded the EDP on 2000 Apr 29. Since then, we quickly welcomed many more members from all over the world.

We are a diverse group of photographers, amateurs and professionals, advanced and beginner from all over the world. Our common bond is that we own and enjoy using photographic equipment in the Canon EOS system.

The project is the collaborative effort of volunteers connected by the internet. The group uses internet collaboration tools provided by Yahoo! Groups.

We are not supported by, nor are we affiliated with, the Canon company other than as users of Canon EOS equipment.

Aim

Many photographers have fully functioning EOS equipment but do not have operating manuals. In some cases, the classic camera equipment has been discontinued from production for decades, and original documentation is no longer available.

The EDP is focussing efforts in two parallel directions.

One part of this project is to document and freely share our collective experience in using our equipment to the limit in the fulfilment of our photographics ambitions. Many of us have devised ways to allow us to push our photographic technique to the limits of the technology we have available.

The second part of our project is to attempt to create a freely accessible electronic museum of EOS documentation that can help substitute where the original manuals are not available.
