Ahead of the Game
Canon has always been synonymous with cutting-edge technology in the world of photography, and the Canon EOS R1 is no exception. Combining speed, precision, and innovation, the R1 is the perfect tool for professional photographers.
Key Features
The camera’s 24MP back-illuminated stacked sensor is designed for exceptional low-light performance and high-speed shooting. Thanks to the R1’s fast sensor readout, the camera can achieve a top shutter speed of 1/64,000 sec, virtually eliminating rolling-shutter distortion. The camera’s state-of-the-art DIGIC X processor enables continuous raw burst shooting at an incredible 40 fps. With pre-capture capabilities, you can catch moments even before pressing the shutter, giving you 20 frames in half a second as you focus.
The R1 also features the brand-new DIGIC Accelerator Processor. The new processor features predictive algorithms capable of foreseeing where a subject will move within your frame, making it perfect for high-speed shooting environments. This feature is particularly beneficial for sports photographers, specifically in sports involving round balls like soccer, volleyball, and basketball. The camera can analyse and predict the movements of players and the ball in motion, allowing you to capture iconic sporting moments. With 8.5 stops of image stabilisation, you’re guaranteed incredibly sharp images even in low light or when shooting handheld.
Hybrid Creativity
The EOS R1 is not just a stellar stills camera; it excels in video as well, offering 6K60P video capabilities. The R1 also offers dual-shooting capabilities, enabling videographers to cover the same event with Full HD video and 17-megapixel (16:9) photos simultaneously, ensuring comprehensive coverage of every moment.
