Canon EOS R7

It Is Time to Level Up With the EOS R7

The EOS R7 marks Canon’s entry into the APS-C market with the mirrorless R series. This camera offers an excellent balance of performance and mobility. This sleek powerhouse is equipped with a 32.5-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC X processing, making it capable of high-speed 30 frames-per-second shooting for sports and wildlife.

Additionally, it has the renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing system, which allows it to keep up with and track subjects that are moving quickly. In addition, 4K video may be recorded at up to 60 frames per second, or at 30 frames per second when it is oversampled from a 7K area. Full HD video can record at up to 120 frames per second.

32.5MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and DIGIC X Processing

APS-C Comes to EOS R

The 32.5-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor is a flexible chip that is ideal for both picture and video applications because it strikes a balance between resolution, speed, and performance in low light.

The R7’s high-resolution architecture is beneficial to photographers as well as 4K video since it provides a 7K area for oversampling footage, which results in better clarity and quality. This is because the R7 is one of the first APS-C sensors in the EOS R series.

DIGIC X Processor

The R7 incorporates the same DIGIC X image processor that was found in the R3, allowing it to complete a range of high-speed jobs with ease. These tasks include rapid continuous shooting as well as high-resolution video recording.

When it comes to high-speed photography, the R7 is capable of up to 30 frames per second of continuous shooting when using a quiet electronic shutter or 15 frames per second when using a mechanical shutter.

Additionally, the camera takes AF and AE readings before each frame. The processor also contributes to the realization of a large sensitivity range, which may be expanded all the way up to ISO 51200 in order to facilitate working in challenging lighting conditions.

UHD 4K Video Recording

In addition to still images, the R7’s sensor is capable of recording high-resolution, internal UHD 4K 60p video that utilizes the full width of the sensor and can function with 10-bit sampling when combined with Canon Log 3.

It is also possible to film in oversampled 4K at 30 frames per second using a 7K recording area, which will result in increased clarity, less moiré, and lower noise. In addition, slow-motion playback is available up to Full HD quality with 120 frames per second recording. The micro-HDMI connection, which offers a clean 4K output at up to 60 frames per second, is also capable of HDR-PQ recording, making it feasible to produce HDR content in-camera as well as record it outside.

Additionally, it is possible to record for an indefinite amount of time, and the R7 is equipped with connections for both a microphone and headphones, in addition to a multi-function shoe that is compatible with a variety of accessories.

Autofocus and Image Stabilization

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

The sophisticated Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology was carried over from the EOS R3 and includes 651 automated AF points that cover the full sensor area. This allows for faster, more responsive, and more precise focusing performance.

This phase-detection focusing system also has enhanced subject detection and tracking, with the ability to intelligently recognize people, animals, and vehicles, and tracking will automatically lock onto these subjects and maintain sharp focus throughout burst captures.

Phase detection focuses on the edges of an object rather than the center, so it can detect and track moving subjects. The low-luminance limit of Dual Pixel AF II focuses down to a remarkable -5 EV, allowing for precise focusing even in low-light circumstances such as at night.

Sensor-Shift Image Stabilizer

When shooting handheld, an In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS) may correct up to seven stops of undesirable camera wobble, making it possible to shoot handheld even in low-light circumstances and reducing the amount of shake that occurs when filming movies.

This 5-axis system may also be used in conjunction with lenses that provide optical image stabilization, which allows it to compensate for up to 8 stops of camera shake. The number of stops that can be compensated for depends on the lens that is being used.

2.36m-Dot EVF and Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD

High-resolution eye-level viewing is made possible thanks to the inclusion of a bright and crisp OLED electronic viewfinder with 2.36 million dots. This 1.15x magnification finder has the benefit of rapid processing, which nearly eliminates any latency, and a speedy 120 fps refresh rate, which can be utilized to show action in a way that is both vibrant and realistic.

Reliable and Intuitive Construction

• The EOS R7 is a reference to the rugged physical design of the professional-grade EOS R3, and the R7 is modeled after it. It features a body structure that is dust- and moisture-sealed, making it appropriate for use when working in adverse situations.
• The rear controls have been redesigned to feature a combined AF point selector and rear control wheel. This places two of the most often used functions in a single location that is straightforward and easy to use.
• Dual SD memory card slots allow for flexible file storing, and both slots are certified for UHS-II card speeds, which enables smooth 4K video recording as well as high-speed continuous shooting.

In addition to the electronic viewfinder, there is also a variable-angle LCD screen that measures 3.0 inches and may be used to operate from high, low, or front-facing angles. The adjustable posture is supported by a touchscreen interface, and the crisp 1.62 million dot resolution makes it possible to watch live views and experience vivid playback.

Next-Generation Multi-Function Shoe

The Multi-Function Shoe is an improvement over a traditional hot-shoe in that it includes a row of pins at the front of the design. This row of pins not only enables a greater range of functionality for accessories but also supplies power to certain kinds of accessories that have traditionally relied on separate batteries.

Flexible Connectivity

Both wired and wireless connectivity options are offered, providing users with the flexibility to choose how they wish to send their still images and movies as well as how they choose to exercise remote control over the camera.

In terms of its construction, the camera includes a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 connector, a micro-HDMI port, as well as 3.5mm ports for both headphones and microphones, all of which are designed to improve the quality of video recording. When it comes to wireless connectivity, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both options for sending data and controlling a distant camera.

True HDR stills

The EOS R7 and R10 are capable of shooting 10-bit HEIF files utilizing the HDR ‘PQ’ curve, similar to what we saw on the EOS R6 and R5. When you connect the camera to a high dynamic range display or TV, they capture images with a greater dynamic range and do so in a way that enables them to present that wider dynamic range in a manner that is as realistic as possible.

This improved shoe is compatible with a selection of accessories, such as the ST-E10 Speedlite Transmitter, the DM-E1D Stereo Microphone, and the AD-P1 Smartphone Link Adapter. Additionally, the AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe Adapter is compatible with legacy shoe-mounted accessories, so this shoe is compatible with all shoe-mounted accessories.
