EOS R3
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.
At the heart of the EOS R3 is a Canon developed 24.1 megapixel back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor which combines with the DIGIC X processor to deliver a higher speed readout, allowing for continuous blackout-free shooting** at up to 30 fps in electronic (silent) shutter mode with minimum rolling distortion. The combination also increases the high sensitivity light capturing efficiency of a native ISO of 102400 for still images. The improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with 1,053 AF Points features evolved EOS iTR tracking for subjects such as people, animals, as well as select cars and motorcycles2 down to EV -7.5. The EOS R3 also allows the user multiple ways of controlling AF using Eye Control AF, Smart Controller with home position and the classic multi-controller. The camera also includes a new multi-function hot shoe which alleviates the need for extra batteries and cables in accessories such as microphones and flash transmitters. The EOS R3 also includes flexible connectivity options with built-in wired LAN, GPS, USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The Canon EOS R3 is designed to satisfy the most demanding expectations in a camera emphasizing speed, performance, and reliability.

Shutter
Type |
(1) Mechanical (2) Electronic 1st-Curtain (3) Electronic Shutter (1st and 2nd curtain - silent*) • When set to [Electronic], the camera makes no mechanical shutter sound. Shutter volume during Electronic Shutter is adjustable in 5 user-defined steps, plus silent — Set-up Menu #2 > Volume. Electronic Shutter sound is also disabled when Beep is set to Disable — Set-up Menu #2 > Beep. Note that the camera may make sounds other than the shutter release sound, such as sounds for aperture adjustment or the lens focus drive, or beeps. Moreover, using long exposure noise reduction with shutter speeds of 1 sec. or longer involved mechanical shutter, which producers a mechanical sound. • Bands of light may be displayed and captured images may be affected by light and dark banding when shooting under fluorescent lighting or other flickering light sources with the camera set to [Anti-flicker shoot: Disable] • The following settings are available when [Electronic] is set: • Drive mode selection (H+ / H / L), shooting with an external flash unit, anti-flicker shooting, shutter speed (no low-speed restrictions), long exposure noise reduction, AEB, Multi Shot Noise Reduction, HDR Shooting (HDR PQ), HDR mode, multiple exposures. •M or Tv modes, with Electronic Shutter: user-set shutter speeds extend to 1/64,000 sec. maximum. (Set in full-step increments from 1/8000 to 1/64000). |
|||||||||||
Shutter Speeds |
• Adjustments by the camera when the shutter speed is set to 1/64000 or 1/32000 sec. in electronic shutter shooting may involve the aperture value or ISO speed in some shooting conditions, because shutter speed cannot be controlled in 1/3- or 1/2-stop increments. • If HDR mode, Focus bracketing, Hi-speed sync, or Same exposure for new aperture is set, max shutter speed limit will be 1/8000 sec. |
