Canon EOS R1 Overview

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.

Stacked Sensor and DIGIC Accelerator

24.2MP Full-Frame Sensor and Continuous Shooting

As a camera built for speed, the R1 sports a newly designed 24.2MP full-frame back-illuminated stacked sensor that offers impressively fast readout speeds and a staggering 40 fps top continuous shooting rate with an electronic shutter, along with blackout-free viewing and greatly reduced rolling shutter distortion. The back-illuminated design and new DIGIC Accelerator processing also help to produce high clarity and sharpness, native sensitivity up to ISO 102400, and utilize Neural Network Noise Reduction for especially clean files when working in low-light conditions.

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.

Canon EOS R1 EVF

9.44m-Dot OLED EVF and Rear LCD

Deemed the best viewfinder yet in an EOS R-series camera, the R1 sports an impressive 9.44m-dot OLED EVF with a massive 0.9x magnification for comfortable, clear, and bright eye-level viewing. The resolution and magnification suit a wide array of viewing conditions, and are ideal for glasses-wearing users, and the finder's optical design has also been upgraded for improved clarity. Additionally, some of the EVF optics are sealed within an airtight structure, helping to prevent fog in case of working in extreme temperature or humidity conditions.

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.

  • Auto-Exposure and Auto White Balance Modes use Deep Learning
  • 6144-zone exposure metering for high accuracy in various lighting conditions
  • Coordinated Image Stabilization pairs IBIS with Lens-Based IS
  • Supports Anti-Flicker and High-Frequency Anti-Flicker shooting

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.
Canon EOS R1 Weather Sealing

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.
