Canon EOS RP Housing

Canon EOS RP

The Canon EOS RP is impressively small despite its large full-frame sensor and offers flexible imaging capabilities in a portable format. Equipped with a high-resolution 26.2 MP full-frame CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 8 image processor, both stills and UHD 4K video can be captured with a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-40000 to enable work in a variety of lighting conditions. Continuous shooting at up to 5 fps is also supported for photographing moving subjects. The sensor also enables an advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF system with 4779 selectable phase detection points on the sensor for fast and precise focusing in photos and videos.

In addition to the sensor and processor, the RP has a 2.36 m OLED electronic viewfinder and a rear 3.0" LCD touchscreen with a 1.04 m screen diagonal, which facilitates viewing from high and low angles. In addition, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enable wireless remote control of the camera and direct transfer of images to connected mobile devices.

Canon RF lens mount

The EOS RP is equipped with the RF lens mount, which supports Canon's RF lens range. This mount features a large diameter of 54mm and a short back flange distance of 20mm, enabling the development of lenses that are both faster and smaller than their SLR counterparts. The mount also features a 12-pin electronic contact system for more sophisticated autofocus and image stabilization functions. This mount design also offers full compatibility with existing EF and EF-S lenses via an optional EF-EOS R mount adapter.

26.2 MP full-frame CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 image processor
The large 26.2 MP full-frame CMOS sensor offers an ideal balance between high resolution, low-light performance and high speed. In conjunction with the DIGIC 8 image processor, the EOS RP has a wide native sensitivity range of ISO 100-40000 for working in a wide range of lighting conditions. In addition, continuous shooting at up to 5 fps is possible for working with moving subjects.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers smooth and fast focusing performance, similar to a camcorder. This system integrates two separate photodiodes in each pixel to provide a wide and dense network of phase-detection sensing elements across a large portion of the image sensor, reducing focus hunting for faster and more direct control of focus. When working with still images, this focusing system provides fast and accurate focus detection, making it ideal for shooting and tracking moving subjects to achieve critical sharpness in every shot. When shooting video, the Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing when changing subjects or different distances within the scene, as well as the ability to set tracking sensitivity, AF speed and face or eye tracking priority. Benefiting from the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible by simply touching elements within the scene on the touch screen to change focus in an intuitive way. Subject tracking in movies is also improved as the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is able to recognize subjects and maintain focus even in changing or cluttered scenery. In addition, the focus system is sensitive down to EV -5 for precise AF even in really low light conditions.

UHD 4K video recording

Designed for multimedia photographers, the EOS RP supports recording in UHD 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at up to 23.98 fps at 120 Mb/s, as well as Full HD 1080p and HD 720p at 60 fps for slow motion playback. For in-camera recording, 4K video has 4:2:0 sampling and 8-bit color depth; 4:2:2 8-bit output is possible when using an external recorder.

Audio can be recorded using the built-in stereo microphone or an optional external microphone can be used via the 3.5 mm microphone socket.

In addition, the 5-axis dual-sensing IS can be used when recording video to electronically reduce camera shake for sharper and smoother recording.

Welcome to the creative world of the Canon EOS RP with full-frame sensor

New member of the full-frame world of Canon
The Canon EOS RP offers excellent value for money and sets new standards in the full-frame world of Canon. The camera features the innovative RF bayonet with high-speed 12-pin communication, a short flange focal distance and a large bayonet diameter of 54 mm. Developed from scratch, the RF bayonet enables the use of lenses with a new dimension of optical performance, responsiveness and functionality. Photographers and filmmakers can also utilize the full performance of existing EF and EF-S lenses thanks to the three optional EF-EOS R mount adapters. Two of the optional EF-EOS R adapters offer additional functionality, namely the ability to use plug-in filters or a lens control ring.

More creativity through silent shutter release, speed and quality
The 26.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor of the Canon EOS RP in combination with the latest Canon DIGIC 8 processor enables new creative possibilities with an optimal balance of detail accuracy, first-class control of depth of field and incredible performance even in low light. The maximum ISO sensitivity of 40,000 - expandable up to ISO 102,400 - is ideal for low-light shooting. Together with the powerful Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, this enables autofocus down to -5 EV, even in dark environments.

Optimum image quality straight from the camera
The Digital Lens Optimizer (DLO) is automatically applied in-camera for all RF and up to five registered EF lenses. For post-processing, the EOS RP offers the latest generation CR3 14-bit RAW format and a compact RAW option that saves around 40 percent of the file size compared to standard RAW files. This increases the number of images that can be stored on a memory card while retaining the flexibility of shooting in RAW. Images can also be processed in the camera for immediate editing. RAW images are processed using the internal RAW converter. Alternatively, they can also be edited using the Creative Assistant. This offers a range of filters and effects that make it easy to convert the desired result into a JPEG file. These can then be shared directly from the camera after appropriate configuration.
