Canon EOS R1 Mirrorless Camera

Speed, precision, and reliability, the Canon EOS R1 is built for photojournalists, sports photographers, wildlife shooters, and other image-makers who can't afford to miss the shot. The flagship of the EOS R line, this mirrorless camera sports a full-frame 24MP BSI stacked sensor, DIGIC Accelerator processing, next-gen Dual Pixel Intelligent AF, and the robust design expected from a professional workhorse.

EOS R1 - The Flagship

Speed, precision, and reliability, the Canon EOS R1 is built for photojournalists, sports photographers, wildlife shooters, and other image-makers who can't afford to miss the shot. The flagship of the EOS R line, this mirrorless camera sports a full-frame 24MP BSI stacked sensor, DIGIC Accelerator processing, next-gen Dual Pixel Intelligent AF, and the robust design expected from a professional workhorse.

Continuous and Pre-Continuous Shooting

For continuous shooting applications, the 40 fps shooting rate can be used in conjunction with Pre-Continuous Shooting, which allows the camera to continuously pre-buffer 20 frames over a 0.5-second period while half-pressing the shutter, prior to fully pressing the shutter—helping to ensure you never miss the critical moment of action. The EOS R1 also has a mechanical shutter, which supports a top continuous shooting rate of 12 fps.

In-Camera Upscaling

For instances when 24MP isn't enough, DIGIC Accelerator processing now enables In-Camera Upscaling, which uses deep learning to double the number of pixels both horizontally and vertically in order to produce a separate 96MP image in about 10 seconds. This upscaling can be done after the original image is shot and can also be performed at the time of cropping images in camera, saving time compared to generating a 96MP image and then cropping it afterward.

DIGIC Accelerator and DIGIC X Processing

One of the critical pieces that enables the EOS R1 to do everything is can do is the newly developed DIGIC Accelerator front-engine processor, which complements a proven DIGIC X processor. The DIGIC Accelerator is responsible for many of the continuous shooting, subject detection and tracking, and autofocus capabilities, allowing the DIGIC X to serve fully as an image processor. The combination of these two distinct processors enables the camera to better process huge volumes of data, perform simultaneous tasks at high speeds, and contributes to the quality and accuracy of deep learning features, like In-Camera Upscaling and Neural network Noise Reduction.

Supports Anti-Flicker and High-Frequency Anti-Flicker shooting

Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization

Helping keep both photos and video sharp and stable, the EOS R1 uses a well-rounded image stabilization system using three distinct methods: in-body sensor-shift, optical, and an independent Movie Digital IS system purpose-built for video.

Action Priority + Subject Detection and Tracking

One of the main benefits of the DIGIC Accelerator is a new focusing mode built specifically for photographing sports and action: Action Priority. This intelligent AF mode recognizes specific subjects movements and automatically moves the AF area to the player performing a detected motion, such as taking a shot, making a pass, jumping, and more. It currently recognizes Soccer, Basketball, and Volleyball activities and can analyze Ball, Joint, Torso, Action, and Head information for tracking. The mode can recognize specific subjects and uses this information in conjunction with recognized movements to determine where to focus in the scene while the action is unfolding.

Action Priority can be assigned to a custom function button for quick on/off toggling.

Pre-Registered Person Priority allows you to register up to 10 different people in-camera prior to photographing an event; this information is stored and used to prioritize who to focus on while the game or match is being played.

Intelligent subject recognition also helps to maintain sharp focus on the intended subject even when it's obscured or crossed by a secondary subject in the frame.

Can be used in conjunction with Pre-Continuous Shooting mode.

Eye Control AF

Taken from the EOS R3, the R1 also inherits the unique Eye Control AF method, which allows you to simply look where you want to focus and then have the AF Area automatically move there when you press the AF activation button. The R1 improves upon this tool, though, with 2x faster detection and a revised line-of-sight detection algorithm, as well as greater tolerances for different eyelid thicknesses, eyelash length, how the camera is held, and even if you wear eyeglasses.

Built for the Professional Image-Maker

Magnesium alloy exterior is dust- and water-resistant with full protective sealing at all seams and behind each button.

Measures 0.7" shorter than the EOS-1D X Mark III and weighs 2.1 lb—more than half a pound less than its SLR predecessor.

Integrated vertical grip improves the ergonomics and makes the EOS R1 easier to hold throughout a full day of shooting. The grip also includes updated rubber that is more comfortable and provides greater traction while holding.

Versatile Connectivity

As a professional workhorse, the R1 can easily be integrated into an existing workflow: connect to optional recorders, tether via ethernet, attach an external strobe, or offload files for FTP.

Full-size HDMI port for outputting video to an external recorder or monitor

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port supports tethering, data transfer, and in-camera battery charging

Ethernet port supports 2.5GBASE-T wired LAN connection for transferring files over FTP

Multi-Function Shoe, which features a row of pins at the front for greater accessory functionality and provides power to select accessory types that traditionally rely on separate batteries

Supports Wi-Fi 6E/Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy for wireless transferring and control as well as image.canon and Frame.io support
