Cutting-Edge Performance for Professionals
The EOS R1 boasts a combination of cutting-edge technology, top-notch performance, and the durability and reliability expected from a professional-grade camera. It promises significant improvements in both still image and video quality, making it ideal for various fields like sports photography, news reporting, and video production.
Powerful New Image Processing System
The camera features a newly developed image processing system that combines the DIGIC X processor with the all-new DIGIC Accelerator. This powerful duo, along with a new CMOS sensor, enables high-speed processing of large data volumes, leading to advancements in autofocus (AF) and other functionalities.
Advanced Autofocus with Deep Learning
Canon has leveraged deep learning technology within the image processing system to achieve high-speed and highly accurate subject recognition. This translates to improved subject tracking, particularly in fast-paced scenarios like team sports. Even when players momentarily obscure each other, the EOS R1 can maintain focus on the intended subject.
Furthermore, the AF Action Priority function analyses subject movement in real-time, automatically prioritising subjects performing specific actions like shooting a ball. This ensures you capture those decisive moments with pinpoint focus.
Enhanced Image Quality
The new image processing system, coupled with deep learning, also contributes to enhanced image quality. Canon has adapted its previously developed image noise reduction technology, originally designed for PC software, for in-camera use. This further elevates image quality and empowers photographers to unleash their creativity.
Canon Committed to the Future of Photography and Videography
Canon is actively conducting field tests with the EOS R1, aiming to support the capture of unforgettable moments at upcoming international sporting events.
