Officially Introducing the Canon EOS R3

Featuring elements from the EOS R5 and the durability of an EOS-1D series camera, the EOS R3 also boasts a number of impressive features such as Eye Control AF and Vehicle Tracking that make it stand out on its own. Discover all that this robust, full-frame mirrorless camera has to offer with this exciting look into the EOS R3.

High-speed continuous shooting of up to approx. 30 fps with electronic (silent) shutter and up to 12 fps with Mechanical Shutter

Delivering incredible performance at speeds of up to 12 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 30 fps with the electronic (silent) shutter, the EOS R3 camera can capture the split-second details between a subject’s movements. This is ideal for dynamic action photos such as athletes, animals, cars and motorcycles in motion.

EOS R3 Simulating Continuous Shooting

Custom High-Speed Continuous

With Firmware Update Version 1.2.0 or later, Custom High-Speed Continuous is added to the Drive mode menu making it possible to capture and select peak action or the ideal micro-expression. Shoot from 2 to 50 images continuously at a selectable speed of approximately 30 to 195 fps and save in a combination of formats including RAW, JPG and HEIF. 

Suppressed rolling shutter distortion

Thanks to the high-speed readout of the new sensor, the EOS R3 delivers less rolling shutter distortion in fast moving images.

Improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF with 1,053 AF Points featuring Vehicle Detection as well as Eye, Face, Head, and Animal Detection2

The EOS R3 camera’s highly responsive Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system has been improved with features such as the incredible 1,053 Automatic AF zones as well as improved servo AF cases utilizing eye, body, face, head (now including helmets), animal and now vehicle subject detection. Fast action can be captured and focus can be maintained throughout each burst capture with speed, accuracy and ease.

Demonstrating Eye Control AF
The First EOS Digital camera to feature Eye Control AF

Improving on a feature that was popular on the EOS 3 film camera, the EOS R3 takes it into the digital mirrorless range of EOS cameras making subject focus fast and more precise. Eye control AF is controlled by the user simply looking through the Electronic Viewfinder at the subject they want to focus on, selecting that point, and shooting. This is just one more way the EOS R3 gives the photographer another option of easily and intuitively controlling focus.

In-body Image Stabilizer can provide up to 8 stops*4 of Shake Correction

Incorporating 5-axis IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) found on the EOS R5 and R6 cameras, the EOS R3 will not only enhance the ability to shoot still images at slower shutter speeds but it will also help reduce camera shake when shooting movies. Additionally, the EOS R3’s IBIS will work in combination with the Optical Image Stabilization found in many Canon RF lenses*5 producing a total of up to 8-stops of shake correction.
