Canon EOS R1

When speed is everything, the EOS R1 ensures you’ll finish in first place.

Ahead of the game

Sports photography can be almost as competitive as the action on the pitch. That’s why we developed the EOS R1– a camera that lets you shoot faster, capture defining moments, and get images and video back to your client first – winning the top spot on the page.

The ultimate assistant

At your side, helping you shoot the best work of your creative career

Creativity through technology

Since 1989, Canon EOS-1 series cameras have led the way for professional sports, news and action photographers. As the result of 35 years of evolution the EOS R1 looks to the future as our flagship EOS camera.

  • Dual Pixel Intelligent AF

    With Action Priority mode that automatically determines the subject in football, volleyball and basketball.

  • Cross-type AF

    Our Dual Pixel Intelligent AF is sensitive to horizontal and vertical lines for greater precision.

  • 24.2 megapixel, back-illuminated, stacked sensor

    Truly incredible, low-light performance, with enough speed to virtually eliminate rolling shutter.

  • Capture stills and video concurrently

    Press the shutter release while shooting Full HD video to capture a burst of jpeg images at the same time.

  • In-camera upscaling

    Canon’s deep-learning technology allows images from the high sensitivity sensor to be enlarged faithfully and accurately by up to four times, up to 96 megapixels.

  • 40fps shooting with AF and AE

    With Pre-continuous shooting to capture moments that happened before you pressed the button – even when shooting RAW

  • Fast and accurate

    Focus in conditions as dark as -7.5 EV – roughly the brightness of the aurora borealis – locking on with precision and accuracy.

  • Superb video for hybrid creatives

    Capture 6K RAW video up to 60p, 4K up to 120p and 2K up to 240p, all from the full width of the full-frame sensor.

  • Cutting-edge connectivity

    Our best-connected camera yet? Many options including Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G BASE-T ethernet ensure your images reach your client first.

Unlock the power of the EOS R System for your business

Find out how the EOS R1 and other Canon mirrorless cameras can unlock new commercial opportunities for your business.

Autofocus powered by Deep Learning

The EOS R1 harnesses the power of deep-learning to identify subjects, while its DIGIC Accelerator processor tracks and captures them more accurately than ever. Action Priority mode can even identify the subject based on the action, helping you predict what is coming next.

EOS R1

“The autofocus capabilities… the speed of it is amazing.”

The EOS R1’s AF system can recognise and automatically distinguish different subjects and track them even if they are briefly obscured from view or small in the frame.

Faces

Recognises faces and heads, even when the subject is wearing a helmet or mask.

Eyes

EOS R1 instantly locks onto a subjects’ eyes if they are visible.

Bodies

People are tracked by their whole body, or just the upper portion of it.

Sports

Action Priority determines what’s happening in football, volleyball and basketball, and moves the active AF point.

Animals, cars and aircraft

EOS R1 recognises other subjects too, helping you get pin-sharp results.

Dual Pixel Intelligent AF with Cross-type AF points

EOS R1 has Cross-type AF that is sensitive to horizontal and vertical detail. This gives more sensitivity and precision, especially in low light and low-contrast conditions.

Jaw-dropping image quality

A new 24-megapixel sensor delivers incredible results. A lightning-fast, stacked CMOS design is sensitive in low light. A low-pass filter with 16 point separation reduces moiré and false colour while still capturing very detailed resolution.

Stills and video. Separately and simultaneously

Designed for professional hybrid shooters covering events. With the EOS R1’s Dual Shooting function switched on, a press of the shutter-release button while shooting Full HD video captures 5616x3168 pixel (17MP) JPG photos at up to 10fps using the same shutter speed – all without interrupting video capture.

Extraordinary performance – now as standard

Freeze fleeting moments in time like never before: 40 frames per second continuous shooting pairs with a lightning-fast 1/64,000 sec electronic shutter and minimal rolling shutter distortion for incredible results.

Go back in time with Pre-continuous shooting

Half press the shutter release button to begin continuously buffering 20 frames. At the moment you take the shot, these ‘pre-captured’ frames are stored too. At EOS R1’s maximum 40fps shooting speed, this means you’ll record the half-second before you pressed the shutter release. At slower shooting speeds, the pre-capture time gets longer, giving you even more flexibility.

EOS R1

“It allows you once you half press the shutter to roll and not miss those late moments. Just saves the day”

Go large! Image upscaling, powered by deep-learning

Find exquisite detail in the closest of crops. Enlarge images by up to four times in-camera, producing gallery-ready photos at up to 96-megapixels, which look sensational.

Forging multiple strong connections

Be the first to get your images and video back to the client. The EOS R1 boasts more ways to get connected and the speed you need to hit your goal of the top spot on the page.

  • 802.11ax and MIMO

    EOS R1 offers extremely stable wireless connections, thanks to Wi-Fi 6E (region dependent) and built in MIMO antennas.

  • Camera Connect app

    Position the EOS R1 to get the viewpoint you’re after, then control it remotely from your smart device, connected wireless or via USB.
