Lightning-fast Readout Speeds Reduce Distortion

A new 24MP full frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor delivers faster readout speeds for reduced rolling shutter distortion, equivalent to the mechanical shutter of EOS-1D X Mark III.

Capture What May Have Been Missed

The EOS R1 shoots RAW bursts of up to 40 frames per second with 0.5-second pre-continuous shooting, helping you capture the decisive moment in sharp focus even before you've pressed the button. Capture scenes from 3 or 5 seconds before recording in video.

FAQs

1. What type of sensor does the Canon EOS R1 use?

The EOS R1 features a new 24MP full-frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor designed for incredibly fast data readout.

2. How fast can the Canon EOS R1 shoot continuously?

It is capable of shooting RAW bursts at up to 40 frames per second, ensuring you never miss a critical split-second moment.

3. What is the pre-continuous shooting feature?

The camera continuously buffers frames while you half-press the shutter. When you fully press the button, it saves images from 0.5 seconds prior for photos, and 3 to 5 seconds prior for video.

4. How does Action Priority mode work?

Action Priority mode uses next-generation autofocus algorithms to identify specific actions unique to selected sports events, automatically moving the AF point to the key subject.

5. Does the EOS R1 suffer from rolling shutter distortion?

Thanks to the lightning-fast readout speeds of the stacked sensor, rolling shutter distortion is drastically reduced, offering performance equivalent to the mechanical shutter of the EOS-1D X Mark III.

How to Use

To maximise the Action Priority mode, ensure your camera's firmware is up to date and select the specific sport profile matching your event. For fast, unpredictable action, engage the pre-continuous shooting mode to buffer frames; this allows you to capture split-second moments even if your physical reaction time is slightly delayed. Pair the EOS R1 with professional Canon RF lenses to ensure the autofocus system operates at peak performance.
