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 The EOS RP
features the RF lens , which support Canon's line of
RF- lenses. This 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 also incorporates a 12-pin
electronic contact system for more sophisticated autofocus and
image stabilization capabilities. This design also lends
full compatibility to existing EF and EF-S- lenses via an
optional EF-EOS R 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 . 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
Designed for multimedia image-maker, the EOS RP supports UHD 4K
(3840 x 2160) resolution 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 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 video to electronically
reduce the appearance of camera shake for sharper, smoother
. Body Design Integrated 2.36m-dot OLED electronic
viewfinder affords a bright and clear means for eye-level
viewing. Rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot LCD features a vari-angle design for
easier use when working from high, low, and front-facing angles.
It is also a touchscreen for intuitive control over shooting,
playback, and menu navigation controls. Built-in Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth connectivity enable wireless sharing, control, and
image transfer with a compatible smart device via the Canon
Camera Connect app, which also supports geotagging your files
using your mobile device's location data. In-camera charging over
USB is supported for easier on-the-go charging. RF 24-105mm
f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens Included with the camera body is the compact
and flexible RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM lens; a standard zoom
covering wide-angle to short telephoto focal lengths with a
variable maximum aperture that helps to maintain an impressively
sleek form factor. Complementing the versatile design is a unique
Center Macro Focus position, which enables working with close-up
subjects at a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio, and an Optical
Image Stabilizer also helps to achieve sharp imagery by
minimizing the appearance of camera shake. Also, an STM motor
affords impressively quiet and smooth autofocus performance and
full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a configurable
Control Ring lets you adjust exposure settings, including ISO,
aperture, and exposure compensation, from the lens itself.
