Features and benefits
Focusing on performance
Deep-learning and Cross-type AF identifies and tracks subjects with phenomenal accuracy. Next-generation Eye Control means AF areas can be selected just by looking at your subject, while a DIGIC Accelerator processor powers Action Priority mode, which automatically determines the main subject in football, volleyball and basketball, moving AF areas accordingly.
The speed you need to shoot the best work of your career
Capture fleeting moments with a customisable continuous shooting speed of up to 40fps. A groundbreaking stacked sensor enables a 1/64,000 sec top shutter speed and virtually zero rolling-shutter distortion. Pre-capture lets photographers capture moments before the shutter release is pressed.
Hybrid creativity, shooting video and photos at the same time
Shoot superb 6K video using frame rates up to 60p and using a wide variety of formats. Dual Shooting lets you cover the same event with Full HD video and 17-megapixel (16:9) photos – capturing stills and video separately and simultaneously
Get home in first place
Win the race – getting photos and video back to your client right when they need them. Lightning-fast connectivity is easy to use when the pressure’s on. Wi-Fi 6E1 with MIMO antennas, and 2.5G BASE-T ethernet, deliver super-stable performance.
The ultimate photographic assistant
Our flagship EOS is packed with advanced technology, including an 8.5-stop Image Stabilizer, a best-in-class 9.44m-dot electronic viewfinder, and in-camera image upscaling and noise reduction. Be inspired by the superb build quality that pros around the world have come to love.
New Technology Explained
24.2 megapixel, back-illuminated, stacked sensor
EOS R1 uses a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor that uses a back-illuminated, stacked design to deliver superb sensitivity and incredible speed. This gives the camera the ability to shoot at a max 1/64,000 electronic shutter speed with virtually no rolling-shutter distortion, with continuous shooting up to 40 fps.
A low-pass filter has 16-point separation that effectively reduces false colour and moiré while preserving fine detail
The EOS R1’s Dual Pixel Intelligent AF uses Cross-Type AF that is sensitive to both horizontal and vertical detail. These increases focusing accuracy and speed in low light and low-contrast conditions.
DIGIC Accelerator
The EOS R1 sees DIGIC Accelerator and DIGIC X image processors working alongside each other for phenomenal performance.
AF tracking of people, animals and objects is improved – even objects that are momentarily obscured from view are tracked continuously and kept in sharp focus.
Action priority recognises key events in football, basketball and volleyball and moves the active AF area.
Stills and video can be captured simultaneously, thanks to the DIGIC Accelerator’s ability to process large volumes of data at speed.
Action Priority focus mode
When shooting photos with the EOS R1’s advanced electronic shutter, the camera’s DIGIC Accelerator processor lets it identify significant actions in three sports: football, basketball and volleyball. The camera automatically switches the active AF areas to a person performing the kind of a critical action that has traditionally been hard to shoot, such as a shot from a high-speed pass.
Go large, with In-camera upscaling
Deep-learning means that images can be upscaled in-camera by up to four times, generating high-resolution versions for cropping or printing at huge sizes. The same deep-learning capability delivers incredible noise reduction for smooth, detailed images at high ISO sensitivities
Advanced 9.44m-dot electronic viewfinder
The EOS R1’s electronic viewfinder (EVF) is superior to an optical viewfinder in many ways. It’s 9.44m-dot high resolution provides an exceptionally clear and detailed view of a scene, with blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 40fps. It’s comfortable for extended periods too, with variable magnification and a locking adjustable dioptre. A larger eyecup is available for complete immersion in the shooting experience.
Next-generation Eye Control AF
Select an AF point, or a subject to track, simply by looking at it. The use of newly developed optics and a revised line-of-sight algorithm enhances the accuracy of the system, compared with the EOS R3, and broadens the angle over which the system is effective, for a more natural experience.
