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.
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.
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.
- 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
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.
Next-Generation Autofocus
- The sensor incorporates cross-type Dual Pixel AF for more responsive and accurate focusing performance, especially in scenes with an abundance of linear details, like with window blinds, brick or wooden plank walls, or other patterned backgrounds.
- Focusing is possible down to -7.5 EV for photo and -5.5 EV for video for working in truly low-light conditions.
- The 4897-point phase-detection system can automatically recognize People, Animals (Dogs, Cats, Birds, and Horses), and Vehicles. This system also has Eye Detection, with the ability to prioritize the left or right eye.
Professional Reliability and Design
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
Video Capabilities and Cinema EOS Integration
6K Raw and 4K Video
Despite its prowess as a camera for stills, the EOS R1 touts strong video capabilities and supports an integrated workflow with Cinema EOS shooters. The R1 supports up to 6K 60p raw recording or 4K 60p MP4 recording using a 6K oversampling area with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling. Proxy recording is also possible and helps expedite post-production by splitting two separate recording formats across the two separate memory cards; for example, record a 6K 60p raw version to one card and a DCI 2K 60p MP4 version to another so you can edit and grade the lower bit-rate footage and then apply your edits to the higher bit-rate version when finishing.
