Overview
Carrying over all the features and capabilities of the EOS 5DS, the Canon EOS 5DS R Camera Body offers the potential for even greater sharpness and fine detail for specialized shooting applications. It features the same Canon-designed and manufactured 50.6 Megapixel sensor, with canceled Low Pass Filter* (LPF) effect to provide even more fine edge sharpness and detail for critical subjects like detailed landscapes, and other conditions where capturing the sharpest subject detail is a priority.
The EOS 5DS R camera has an amazing iSA Intelligent Subject Analysis system that employs an independent RGB light sensor with approximately 150,000 pixel resolution. This sensor enables Canon's Intelligent Tracking and Recognition system (iTR AF) that detects and tracks subjects, automatically switching the AF point to optimize tracking. With new tracking algorithms tailored to recognize faces and colors, this system serves as a brilliant foundation for the EOS 5DS R's autofocus system.
For fast, precise AF with sophisticated tracking performance, the EOS 5DS R camera has an advanced, 61-point High Density Reticular AF system with 41 cross-type AF points. The EOS 5DS R's AF system is incredibly sensitive to changes in composition, making adjustments quickly to help ensure consistent, sharp autofocus.
The EOS 5DS R camera is compatible with the new optional W-E1 Wi-Fi Adapter1 accessory (sold separately), which enables Wi-Fi® capabilities2, including easy transfer of images to a compatible smartphone or tablet3, and remote still shooting. When inserted into the camera's SD card slot, the W-E1 enables you to wirelessly view and transfer images when connected to a compatible smart device with the Camera Connect mobile app3 installed, along with remote shooting for stills and the ability to remotely change camera settings. These Wi-Fi® functions can also be utilized when wirelessly connected to a computer equipped with the EOS Utility software.
