sensor and excellent ergonomics. A 54mm diameter lens mount enables RF lenses to have large rear elements, while a mirrorless design brings
them closer to the sensor for bright, sharp and compact lens designs. A 12 pin electronic connection delivers fast communication between the
camera and the lens, facilitating a versatile and powerful system. Plus, with a variety of mount adapter options providing compatibility with
EF and EF-S lenses, it’s easy to incorporate your EOS R system into an EOS system and expand your creative opportunities.
A NEW STANDARD IN OPTICAL
IMAGE QUALITY
New RF Mount
At the heart of the EOS R system lies the amazing
RF mount. It’s newly designed to deliver the ideal
combination of speed, durability and flexibility
in optical design for excellent performance and
future system expansion, plus compatibility with
EF and EF-S lenses*.
54mm Large Diameter and
Short Back Focus
The large diameter and decreased distance
between the rear lens element and sensor
enable a compelling combination of image
quality, performance and compact lens design.
The new RF mount retains the same, large 54mm
diameter as the current Canon EF mount, but
thanks to the EOS R camera’s mirrorless structure,
the rear lens element can be much closer to the
image plane. This combination opens up a number
of possibilities. The rear element of RF lenses can
be larger in diameter, improving image quality at
the corners and outer edges of the frame. Larger
rear elements mean front elements can be smaller,
meaning less strong refracting and bending of
light rays within the lens, enhancing optical
performance. Most importantly, the EOS R system
opens the door to the future. It unlocks more
freedom and flexibility in lens designs, allowing
faster lenses with increased optical performance
in more compact forms than before.

Data Transmission through
12 pin Electrodes
A 12 pin connection between the camera
and lens means communication at a hiher
speed with larger amounts of data transfer,
enabling incredibly fast AF, high IS and
image optimization. It’s a system designed
to expedite operations that’s ready for
future expansions.

FULL COMPATIBILITY
Discover New Possibilities with
EF/EF-S Lenses
Mount adapters deliver seamless connections
between the EOS R camera and EF and EF-S
lenses with all functions intact. Offering L series
level weather and dust sealing, the mount
adapters are even compatible with EF extenders
like the Extender EF 1.4x III to extend your
camera’s optical reach. With an entire line-up of
EF and EF-S lenses at your disposal, these
mount adapters ensure endless creative
possibilities for the EOS R camera.
Additional Control with
EF/EF-S Lenses
Take full advantage of the EOS system by using
any EF/EF-S lens with the EOS R camera by way
of three optional mount adapters, including one
featuring a customizable control ring and another
allowing you to drop in a circular polarizing or
variable ND filter.
20mm Flange Focal Distance
The RF mount is mounted just 20mm
from the image sensor. This provides
flexibility for future lens designs and the
durability needed for professional, realworld operation, even when using super
telephoto lenses.

PERFORMANCE
Optical Image Stabilization
Select RF lenses feature optical image
stabilization technology that’s designed to work
in conjunction with the EOS R camera. Both the
camera and the lens share data to dramatically
reduce camera-shake blur, regardless of the
situation and whether shooting video or stills,
to deliver impressively clear results.
Lens Information Display
Another helpful feature, the EOS R camera can
display lens information right in the viewfinder,
making it easy to confirm the lens’s focal length
without looking away from the subject at hand.
Control Ring
All RF lenses incorporate a control ring on the
lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous
settings including shutter speed, aperture,
exposure compensation and more. Located
towards the front of the lens and effectively
adding a third dial to the EOS R camera’s main
dial and quick control dial, the control ring has a
tactile, easily distinguished surface and features
a clicking mechanism that provides tangible
feedback for confident use while looking
through the viewfinder.

Sophisticated AF System and
from the viewfinder. Using the Touchscreen LCD,
it’s as simple as pointing to the desired area of
focus. The chosen AF point is then displayed in
the camera’s EVF for quick confirmation.
Wide AF Area
The EOS R camera’s AF system features an
incredible 5,655 manually selectable AF points*.
Combined with a focus area that covers approx.
88% horizontal and 100% vertical** when using
RF lenses and select EF lenses, this AF system
helps ensure swift and accurate focus no matter
where your subject is located in the frame.
Variety of AF Modes
The EOS R camera features an expanded range
of selectable AF modes to adapt to specific
situations and subjects. For example, with Eye
Detection AF, when the EOS R detects a human
face, it automatically uses the subject’s eye as
the autofocus point and maintains focus as the
subject moves through the image frame.
High-speed Focusing
The EOS R camera’s highly responsive Dual Pixel
CMOS AF system can deliver sharp focus within
0.05 seconds***. This means fast action can be
captured and focus can be maintained with speed,
accuracy and ease.
f/8 and f/11 Compatible in
All AF Areas
With the EOS R camera, autofocus will operate
over nearly the entire image area even when used
with compatible f/8 and f/11 lenses. This means
the EOS R can easily achieve sharp AF using lenses
with smaller apertures, and is even compatible
with select EF extenders for uncompromised
shooting at an expanded range of focal lengths.

AUTOFOCUS
Focus Peaking and Dual Pixel Focus Guide
For help when using manual focus, Focus Peaking
helps establish the focus area quickly and clearly
by indicating the area in focus with a colored line.
It’s usable with the Dual Pixel Focus Guide feature,
which displays where the position of focus is
relative to the subject and is especially helpful
when recording video.
4K VIDEO
4K 30p, Full HD 60p, HD 120p
Whether shooting videos for your blog or to share
with friends online, or as a secondary camera on
a large production, the EOS R camera offers
advanced recording features such as 4K at 29.97
fps, Full HD at 59.94 fps and HD at 119.9 fps.
Helpful functions include distortion correction
during recording and Movie Digital IS. Additionally,
video can be recorded during still photo shooting
by simply pressing the Movie Shooting button.
4K IPB/ALL-I MP4 H.264

or ALL-I compression^^ and save them as MP4
files. This helps provide further flexibility with
file size, image quality and integration with
video clips recorded with other cameras.
Canon Log
Built-in Canon Log gamma reduces heavy shadows
and blown-out highlights, delivering movie images
with approximately 12 stops of dynamic range
(at ISO 400) for excellent shadow and highlight
detail. Ideal for post-production and multicamera set-ups, Canon Log is an indispensable
feature that makes the EOS R camera a serious
moviemaking performer.
ISO 40000
The EOS R camera has a standard ISO sensitivity
range of 100–40000 for stills and 100–25600 for
video (100–12800 for 4K video shooting). Combined
with the EOS R camera’s remarkable low-light
AF performance, still and video shooting is
possible even in dark situations in a variety of
places and occasions.
