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. 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. 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. Dual Pixel Intelligent AF Beyond speed, autofocus performance is the main calling card of a flagship camera. The R1's AF capabilities have been optimized to detect, track, and maintain critical focus on moving subjects, even when they are briefly obscured while shooting. This Dual Pixel system has been fine-tuned with numerous tracking features and usability assets to make it the most intelligent and intuitive focusing system in an EOS yet. 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. 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.
