The EOS R1 pushes continuous shooting performance with up to 40 fps and offers robust autofocus with Dual Pixel Intelligent AF and Eye Control AF for tracking challenging subjects. With internal 6K RAW and high-frame-rate 4K video, a high-resolution electronic viewfinder, dual CFexpress card slots, and pro-level connectivity, the EOS R1 stands as Canon’s most capable mirrorless body for sports, wildlife, news, and cinematic capture.

KEY FEATURES

Image Sensor & Processor

The Canon EOS R1 uses a 24.2 MP full-frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor — designed to read data extremely quickly to reduce rolling shutter and support top performance in both stills and video capture. Paired with Canon’s newest DIGIC X processor plus DIGIC Accelerator, the system delivers superb image quality, broad dynamic range, and strong low-light performance along with very fast data processing for autofocus, buffer handling, and video encoding.

Autofocus & Shooting Performance

The camera’s Dual Pixel Intelligent AF system provides fast, accurate autofocus across a large portion of the frame, with deep learning-assisted subject detection and Eye Control AF, which lets photographers select AF points simply by looking at them through the viewfinder. Continuous shooting speeds reach up to 40 fps with the electronic shutter and around 12 fps with the mechanical shutter, giving professionals the ability to capture decisive moments in fast-moving action.

Display & Viewfinder

For composition and review, the camera features a 3.2-inch fully articulating touchscreen LCD with around 2.1 million dots of resolution, and a high-resolution ~9.44 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with approximately 0.9× magnification, offering an extremely clear and life-like view of the scene even in bright conditions.

Video Capabilities

The EOS R1 is built for pro video as well as stills. It supports internal 6K RAW recording at up to 60 fps and 4K video up to 120 fps with high-bit-depth 10-bit color, suitable for cinematic workflows without needing external recorders. Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 profiles provide wide dynamic range and flexibility for color grading in post-production.

Dual Card Slots & Workflow

For professional workflows, the R1 includes dual CFexpress Type B card slots for high-speed writing — essential when shooting long bursts at high frame rates or high-bit-rate video. These slots also support simultaneous recording and proxy workflows for efficient post-production.

Connectivity

Connectivity is comprehensive, including Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth for fast wireless control and transfer, USB-C for data and tethering, RJ45 Ethernet for stable wired workflows, HDMI output, and microphone and headphone inputs for professional audio capture during video production.

Build & Ergonomics

Canon has designed the EOS R1 with a professional-grade magnesium alloy body, weather-sealed to withstand challenging environments. The integrated vertical grip, robust controls, and customizable buttons make it comfortable and reliable for extended shooting sessions in demanding conditions.
