“The EOS R3 captures 6K/60p footage in Rawonly, allowing exposure andwhite balance corrections”
has instead partnered with Tascam to launch the CA-XLR2d-C adapter, which enables two-channel recording with XLR microphones. Hopefully, this means other manufacturers will be able to launch similar wireless audio products using the Multi-Function Shoe. The camera has Bluetooth 5.0, 5GHz Wi-Fi and a built-in Gigabit ethernet port for high-speed connection. It can be remotely controlled from a mobile device, using the Canon Camera Connect app – or with the Browser Remote function via ethernet connection. A new smartphone holder accessory for the EOS R3, the Smartphone Link AD- P1, allows an iOS or Android device to be mounted on top of the Multi-Function Shoe Adapter – and transmit images via a new app. The Canon Camera Connect app enables firmware to be updated via phone – a first for an EOS camera. Canon developed the blackout-free, 5.76 million dot electronic viewfinder, with low lag and refresh rate of up to 120fps – rivalling an optical viewfinder. The shutter lag can be reduced to 20ms – less than half that of a conventional camera, for near-instant capture. There is a high-resolution, vari-angle, 4.1 million dot touchscreen, which is ideal for video use. The camera uses the same
for maximum quality and compressed CRM for smaller files. To shoot in a non-Raw codec, the camera maxes out at 4K from the whole sensor. At up to 60p, this is oversampled from 6K for the highest quality. It can also record 4K/120p footage for slowmotion. Raw, and the fastest frame rates, can only be recorded to a CFexpress Type B card. The MP4 files are all 8-bit H.264, unless you choose Canon Log 3, then it can be set to 10-bit H.265 or 10-bit HDR PQ. There is no Raw output over HDMI, like there is on the EOS R5. To reduce the file size and speed up workflow, CRM or MP4 footage can be recorded in All-I, IPB or the smaller IPB light option. Dual card slots include a UHS-II SD card and a CFexpress slot to simultaneously record to both cards in MP4. The camera can record up to six hours of regular video, or 1.5 hours at high frame rates. Also following Sony’s lead is the all-newMulti-Function Shoe, which allows communication between the camera and accessories without use of a separate lead. This is compatible with the recently launched Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1D, which is powered via this fresh innovation. While Sony keeps tight hold of its Multi Interface Shoe technology, Canon
LP-E19 battery as the EOS-1D X Mark II and Mark III. The EOS R3’s lightweight, dust- and water-resistant magnesium body is built for use in harsh conditions. Weather resistance can also be maintained when using existing Speedlites, by connecting them to the Multi-Function Shoe Adapter AD-E1. The EOS R3 also powers the new, compact Speedlite Transmitter ST-E10 through the Multi-Function Shoe. canon.co.uk
PROFESSIONAL BODY The new Canon has some great features, including an integrated grip with vertical controls – much like the EOS-1 series of DSLR cameras – but also a fold-out screen that’s ideal for making movies
