Impressively small despite having a large full-frame
sensor, the Canon EOS RP offers flexible imaging capabilities
along with a portable form factor. Featuring a high-resolution 26.2MP
full-frame CMOS sensor along with a DIGIC 8 image processor, both stills and
UHD 4K video can be recorded using a broad sensitivity range, from ISO
100-40000, to suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. Continuous
shooting is also supported at up to 5 fps for photographing moving subjects.
The sensor also facilitates an advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, with 4779
selectable on-sensor phase-detection points for quickly and accurately
acquiring focus during stills and video operation.
Complementing
the sensor and processor, the RP also sports a 2.36m-dot OLED electronic
viewfinder along with a rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD
monitor for easier viewing from high and low angles. Additionally, Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth allow for wireless remote camera control along with direct image
sharing to linked mobile devices.
Canon RF Lens Mount
The EOS RP features the RF lens mount, which support
Canon's line of RF-mount lenses. This mount is characterized by its wide 54mm
diameter and short 20mm flange-back distance, which promotes the ability to
design lenses that are both faster and smaller than their SLR equivalents. The
mount also incorporates a 12-pin electronic contact system for more
sophisticated autofocus and image stabilization capabilities. This mount design
also lends full compatibility to existing EF and EF-S-mount lenses via an
optional EF-EOS R Mount Adapter.
26.2MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor and
DIGIC 8 Image Processor
A large 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor is featured and
serves as an ideal balance between high-resolution output, low-light
performance, and high-speed capabilities. When paired with the DIGIC 8 image
processor, the EOS RP has a wide native sensitivity range from ISO 100-40000
for working in a variety of lighting conditions. Additionally, continuous
shooting up to 5 fps is possible for working with moving subjects.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers smooth and fast focusing
performance in a similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus. This system
integrates two separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and
dense network phase-detection gathering elements across a majority of the image
sensor to reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus
placement. When working with still imagery, this focusing system works to
acquire focus quickly and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and
tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot.
When shooting video, a Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing
when changing from different subjects or different distances within the scene,
as well as the ability to specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face or
Eye Tracking priority. Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible
simply by touching elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order to
change focus in an intuitive manner. Subject tracking in movies is also
heightened due to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system's ability to recognize subjects
and maintain focus when working within changing or cluttered scenery.
Additionally, the focus system is sensitive down to EV -5 for working in truly
low-light conditions with accurate AF capabilities.
UHD 4K Video Recording
Designed for multimedia image-maker, the EOS RP
supports UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution recording at up to 23.98 fps at 120
Mb/s, along with Full HD 1080p and HD 720p at 60 fps for slow motion playback.
When recording in-camera, 4K video has 4:2:0 sampling and 8-bit color depth,
and 4:2:2 8-bit output is possible when using an external recorder.
Audio can be recorded using the on-board stereo microphone or an optional
external mic can also be used via the 3.5mm mic jack.
Also, 5-axis Dual Sensing IS can be used when recording video to electronically
reduce the appearance of camera shake for sharper, smoother recording.
