Details
The Canon EOS R is the first step in Canon's mirrorless evolution, combining a newly developed lens mount with an updated full-frame image sensor to create a unique and sophisticated multimedia camera system. Built around the new RF lens mount, the EOS R is designed to bring out the best in a new range of lenses and optical technologies.
The Canon EOS R features a high-resolution 30.3-MP full-frame CMOS sensor combined with a DIGIC 8 image processor. The combination of these technologies offers a wide sensitivity range up to a native ISO 40000, fast continuous shooting at up to 8 fps, and UHD 4K30 video recording. In addition to imaging, the sensor also enables an advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that uses 5655 selectable points for fast and precise focusing. This focusing system is also sensitive down to EV -6 to work in impressively dark conditions. The AF system is also perfectly matched to UHD 4K video recording capabilities, which are further enhanced by Movie Digital IS to minimize camera shake, built-in Canon Log-Gamma for wider dynamic range, and 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 output via HDMI for even better color control.
Performance features aside, this camera has been designed from the ground up with a high-resolution 3.69 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for clear and bright eye-level viewing. The rear 3.15" 2.1 million-dot LCD touchscreen swivels to allow working from high and low viewing angles. The multi-function bar, suitable for intuitive adjustment of shooting settings, also accommodates tactile desires. The magnesium alloy body is dust and moisture resistant, making it a camera that can withstand the harshest conditions.

Mount30.3MP full frame CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 image processor
The large 30.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor offers an ideal balance of high resolution, low-light performance and high-speed capabilities. Combined with the DIGIC 8 image processor, the EOS R offers a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-40000, which can be expanded to ISO 50-102400 for work in varying lighting conditions. Fast continuous shooting at up to 8 frames per second is also supported for photographing moving subjects.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides smooth and fast focusing performance, similar to a camcorder's focus
lock.This system integrates two separate photodiodes in each pixel to provide a wide and dense network of 5655 phase-detecting detection elements across much of the image sensor, reducing "focus hunting" for faster and more direct control of focus placement. When working with still images, this focusing system provides fast and precise focus, making it ideal for shooting and tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is achieved in every shot. When shooting video, the Movie Servo AF mode provides smooth and natural focusing when switching between different subjects or varying distances within the scene, as well as the ability to set tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and face tracking priority. Using the Touch AF system, focusing is possible by simply touching elements within the subject on the touchscreen to change focus in an intuitive way. Subject tracking in movies is also improved, as the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is able to detect subjects and maintain focus even in changing or cluttered scenes. Additionally, the focus system is sensitive down to EV -6 for precise AF in really low-light conditions.
UHD 4K video recording and Canon Log Gamma
The Canon EOS R is designed for multimedia photographers and supports UHD 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) recording at up to 30 frames per second at 480 Mb/s, as well as Full HD 1080p recording at 60 frames per second and HD 720p at 120 frames per second for slow-motion playback. When recorded in-camera, 4K video has 4:2:2 sampling and 8-bit color depth; when using an external recorder, clean 4:2:2 10-bit output in ITU-R CT.2020 is possible.
With the integrated Canon Log, users can also capture flat images with an improved dynamic range of 800% or 12 stops. This feature facilitates camera balancing in post-production and offers the greatest latitude and potential for color grading. A View Assist function is available for monitoring, emulating a graded look for closer viewing on the camera's LCD.
Audio can be recorded via the built-in stereo microphone. Optionally, an external microphone can also be used via the 3.5 mm microphone jack.
Dual Pixel RAW
First introduced with the EOS 5D Mark IV, Dual Pixel RAW allows photographers to record all the information that the sensor's unique pixel architecture can provide, and offers the ability to make fine adjustments after the shot. These adjustments include Focus Fine Tuning, which allows you to easily adjust the focus point to bring out additional detail, shift the bokeh for better composition, and reduce the effects of ghosting in your photos. This requires Digital Photo Professional software from Canon.
