Canon EOS R1 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

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 24.2-megapixel stacked sensor features a back-illuminated CMOS design that delivers excellent low-light performance along with ultra-fast readout speeds, effectively minimising rolling shutter distortion. The EOS R1’s Cross-type autofocus system detects both horizontal and vertical lines, providing greater precision and improved sensitivity, especially in low-light or low-contrast conditions. Built around the RF lens mount, the camera enables advanced optical designs that were previously not possible, while also supporting more compact and portable lenses, with the added benefit of using a lens’s iris ring for seamless control in both stills and video shooting.

• 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.

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.

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 up to 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.
