Canon EOS R3 Mirrorless Camera

EOS R3 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

Building on the success of the EOS R series of cameras and leveraging advancements in technology that have come along since, the EOS R3 combines some of the best of both the EOS R5 and EOS-1D X Mark III cameras to provide a robust, high-performance camera. The EOS R3 is the first “3” series camera since the popular EOS-3 film camera launched in 1998.

DIGIC X Image Processor with an ISO range of 100-102400; Expandable to 204800

The EOS R3 camera features a powerful DIGIC X Image Processor, enabling high-performance operation and coordination of processes such as Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, Image Stabilization, image processing, and video functionality. Featuring an ISO range of 100-102400 (expandable to 204800), the EOS R3 camera delivers a large range of standard and expanded ISOs (for still images), and a flexible set of auto options to help enhance shooting in varied and fast-changing lighting situations.

High Image Quality with a Back-illuminated Stacked 24.1 Megapixel Full-frame CMOS Sensor

The EOS R3 delivers substantially faster read-out speeds and produces much lower "rolling shutter" distortion than previous EOS models. The new sensor architecture also increases light capturing efficiency which leads to cleaner low light photos while possessing the ability to capture them as true 14-bit RAW files in electronic shutter mode.

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.

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. 

Panning Assist

When Panning Assist is enabeled on the EOS R3 with firmware 1.4.0 or later, subject tracking and optical image stabilization are used to detect and correct motion blur on the panned subject during exposure, leading to more keepers at slower shutter speeds.

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

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.

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 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 producing a total of up to 8-stops of shake correction.

Capable of recording 6K 60p RAW, 4K 120p, and Full-HD 240p 10-bit (uncropped) with Canon Log 3

Designed and developed with Cinema EOS pairing, the EOS R3 leverages its capabilities of 6K RAW at 60 fps, 4K 120 fps (firmware 1.2.0 or higher) or Full-HD 240 fps uncropped. What’s more, the camera can also leverage 6K and 5.6K oversampling in 4K DCI and UHD respectively, resulting in a higher image quality with less moiré, color distortion and noise. Flexible recording modes ranging from 8-bit to 12-bit recording using HDR PQ, Canon Log 3, RAW and of course EOS Standard enable the user to choose the post-production workflow needed for the project.

5.76-million-dot Electronic Viewfinder

The EOS R3 camera features a high-precision EVF with approx. 5.76 million dots reducing lag time during continuous shooting. Displaying a bright image and extensive shooting information that rotates with the camera, the EVF adds an OVF simulation view assist feature which recreates the natural field of a traditional optical viewfinder.

Dual Card Slots for CFexpress and UHS-II SD Memory Cards

Whether you are shooting photos every day, or are recording 6K RAW videos, the EOS R3 camera can write an incredible amount of images and videos quickly to its super high-speed CFexpress dual card slots. Plus, a UHS-II SD card slot is also provided as a convenient alternative for main memory card duties or as a backup.

3.2” Vari-Angle Touchscreen

The EOS R3 features a 3.2-inch Vari-angle Touchscreen LCD that can be ideal for composing and reviewing your photos as well as making menu changes. Tap the screen during Live View while taking photos or videos and the camera will quickly lock focus to that specific location in the image.

120 fps blackout free Electronic Viewfinder with quick response

The EOS R3’s blackout free EVF when in electronic shutter mode supports a 120 fps refresh rate and has been created to provide a bright, sharp and colorful 100% continuous view of the tracked subject at hand, displaying a crisp and vivid image with minimal aberration or distortion.
