Canon EOS R1 Mirrorless Camera Body 

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 Canon 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.

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 Canon’s flagship EOS camera.

• 24.2-megapixel stacked sensor: A back-illuminated CMOS sensor that delivers superb performance in low-light and ultrafast read-out speeds, virtually eliminating rolling-shutter distortion
• Dual Pixel Intelligent AF: With Action Priority mode that automatically determines the subject in football, volleyball and basketball
• Cross-type AF: Canon’s Dual Pixel Intelligent AF is sensitive to horizontal and vertical lines for greater precision
• 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 creative’s: 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
• Superb video for hybrid creative’s: 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

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.

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.
