This manual is for the EOS R with firmware version 1.6.0 or later installed.

A full-frame 30.3 Megapixel sensor with impressive detail, ISO performance and Dual Pixel CMOS AF. Alongside the new RF lenses, Canon EOS R offers the ultimate shooting experience to take your storytelling further.

Canon EOS R sets the standard for the smaller, lighter full-frame camera of tomorrow. Inside its customisable magnesium alloy body are new levels of EOS performance.

With a high-speed and wide lens mount, Canon EOS R is an interchangeable lens camera that’s compatible with the new era of RF lenses which have been designed to work at the optimum distance from a full-frame sensor. This combination of high performance optics and a pioneering lens mount form a truly creative camera that pushes forward the frontiers of photography and filmmaking.
