Low-luminance limit for AF: EV -7.5.

The EOS R3 can now focus down to an astounding -7.5 EV allowing for amazing nighttime photography with exceptional focus accuracy. This ultra-sensitive AF works in concert with the EOS R3's EVF to clearly capture subjects even when there's limited light.

The First EOS Digital camera to feature Eye Control AF

Improving on a feature that was popular on the EOS 3 film camera, the EOS R3 takes it into the digital mirrorless range of EOS cameras making subject focus fast and more precise. Eye control AF is controlled by the user simply looking through the Electronic Viewfinder at the subject they want to focus on, selecting that point, and shooting. This is just one more way the EOS R3 gives the photographer another option of easily and intuitively controlling focus.

5.76-million-dot & 120 fps blackout free EVF with quick response, as well as a Vari-Angle Touchscreen

The EOS R3 camera features a high-precision EVF with approx. 5.76 million dots reducing lag time during continuous shooting. Displaying a bright image and extensive shooting information that rotates with the camera, the EVF adds an OVF simulation view assist feature which recreates the natural field of a traditional optical viewfinder. The EOS R3’s blackout free EVF when in electronic shutter mode supports a 120 fps refresh rate and has been created to provide a bright, sharp and colorful 100% continuous view of the tracked subject at hand, displaying a crisp and vivid image with minimal aberration or distortion. The EOS R3 also features a 3.2-inch Vari-angle Touchscreen LCD that can be ideal for composing and reviewing your photos as well as making menu changes. Tap the screen during Live View while taking photos or videos and the camera will quickly lock focus to that specific location in the image.
