EV -6
^
Low-light Autofocus
Operating in light as low as EV -6^, the
EOS R camera’s ultra-sensitive AF delivers
amazing performance in remarkably dark areas.
Silent Shutter
Ideal for wildlife, journalism and quiet situations,
the EOS R camera has a silent shutter feature
that uses an inaudible electronic shutter.
Pristine Video up to 4K 10-bit 4:2:2
The EOS R camera records 4K up to 30 fps, or
Full HD 1080p up to 60 fps. Focus with Dual
Pixel CMOS Autofocus, or for manual focus, use
aids like Focus Peaking or the Dual Pixel Focus
Guide. Connecting with HDMI to an external
recorder, high-quality 4K with Canon Log and
recording at 10-bit and up to 4:2:2 are all possible.
Electronic Viewfinder with Approx.
3.69 Million Dots
The EOS R camera features a high-precision
0.5-inch OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode)
EVF with approx. 3.69 million dots and a 23mm
eyepoint, which helps to display a clear image and
extensive shooting
information.
Beyond Full Compatibility with EF/
EF-S Lenses
Take full advantage of the EOS system by using
any EF/EF-S lens with the EOS R camera by way
of three optional mount adapters, including one
featuring a customizable control ring and
another allowing you to drop in a circular
polarizing or variable ND filter.
Control Ring
All RF lenses feature a control ring that lets
you assign features and quickly change settings
without having to use the main dial or quick
control dial on the camera body.
5,655 Manually Selectable AF Points
*
The EOS R camera’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF
system features a maximum of 5,655 manually
selectable AF points* and can deliver fast and
accurate focus within approximately 0.05**
seconds. Its focus area covers approx. 88%
horizontal and 100% vertical*** when using RF
lenses and select EF lenses, helping to ensure
swift and accurate focus no matter where your
subject is located in the frame.
Dot-matrix LCD Panel
An LCD panel on the top of the EOS R camera
features a dot-matrix display that shows
information in real-time on the camera’s status,
recording mode and more.
30.3 Megapixel Full-frame CMOS
Sensor and DIGIC 8 Image Processor
The EOS R camera features a 35mm full-frame
CMOS sensor with approx. 30.3 effective
megapixels for stunning results with incredible
detail and clarity, even in low-light situations. It’s
powered by the DIGIC 8 Image Processor, which
enables an expansive ISO range, enhances
Image Stabilization and turbocharges
operations across the board for outstanding
image quality and impressive performance.
54mm Diameter Mount and Short
Back Focus Distance
The large diameter and decreased distance
between the rear lens element and sensor enable
a compelling combination of image quality,
performance and compact lens design. The new
RF mount retains the same, large 54mm diameter
as the current Canon EF mount, but thanks to the
EOS R camera’s mirrorless structure, the rear
lens element can be much closer to the image
plane. This combination opens up a number of
possibilities. The rear element of RF lenses can
be larger in diameter, improving image quality at
the corners and outer edges of the frame. Larger
rear elements mean front elements can be smaller,
meaning less strong refracting and bending of
light rays within the lens, enhancing optical
performance. Most importantly, the EOS R system
opens the door to the future. It unlocks more
freedom and flexibility in lens designs, allowing
faster lenses with increased optical performance
in more compact forms than before.
20mm Flange Focal Distance
The RF mount is mounted just 20mm from the
image sensor. This provides flexibility for future
lens designs and the durability needed for
professional, real-world operation, even when
using super telephoto lenses.
12 pin Data Transmission
A 12 pin connection between the camera and
lens means communication at a higher speed
with larger amounts of data transfer, enabling
incredibly fast AF, high IS and image optimization.
It’s a system designed to expedite operations
that’s ready for future expansions.
