The EOS R combines a redeveloped lens
mount and an updated full-frame image sensor for a unique and
sophisticated multimedia camera system. Revolving around the new RF lens
mount, the EOS R was created to be the means to make the most of a new
series of lenses and optical technologies.The first step in Canon's mirrorless evolution, the EOS R pairs
a redeveloped lens mount and updated full-frame image sensor for a
unique and sophisticated multimedia camera system. Revolving around the
new RF lens mount, the EOS R is poised to be the means from which to
make the most of a new series of lenses and optical technologies.
Focusing
on the camera itself, the EOS R features a high-resolution 30.3MP
full-frame CMOS sensor along 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 to 8 fps, and UHD 4K30 video
recording. In addition to imaging, the sensor also facilitates an
advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which uses 5655 selectable points
for quickly and accurately acquiring focus. This focusing system is also
sensitive down to EV -6 for working in impressively dark conditions.
The AF system is also perfectly matched to the UHD 4K video recording
capabilities, which are also rounded out by Movie Digital IS to minimize
camera shake, built-in Canon Log gamma for a greater dynamic range, and
4K 10-bit 4:2:2 output over HDMI for even greater color control.
Beyond
the performance attributes, this camera has been designed from the
ground up and features a high-resolution 3.69m-dot OLED electronic
viewfinder for clear and bright eye-level viewing. Conversely, a rear
3.15" 2.1m-dot LCD touchscreen is also featured, and has a swivel design
to suit working from high and low angles. Also catering to the tactile
cravings is a Multi-Function bar, which is customizable for intuitively
adjusting shooting settings. And as a camera built to withstand the
toughest environments, the magnesium alloy body is dust and
moisture-sealed.
