Calling all photography enthusiasts!
Canon has launched the second addition to its new range of full-frame interchangeablelens mirrorless cameras, the Canon EOS RP. This is the most compact and lightest model yet in the EOS full-frame series.
“The addition of the EOS RP to Canon’s growing range of EOS full-frame system is not only a testament to the brand’s commitment of continuously pushing forward the frontiers of photography but is also in line with our goal of further extending access to photography for aspiring photographers. Smaller, lighter, and more affordable, the EOS RP will surely delight photography professionals and enthusiasts alike,” said Benny Yu, Canon Marketing (Philippines), Inc. (CMPI) head of Consumer Imaging and Information division.
Powered by the EOS R system technology, the EOS RP is equipped with the RF lens mount with a focal distance of 20mm.Using a mount adapter, existing EOS users would be able to utilize their collection of EF and EF-S lenses with this new camera. Its Feature Assistant also allows easy navigation, helping users maximize each feature to produce better images.
It is driven by Canon’s advanced DIGIC 8 image processor with Auto Lighting Optimizer feature that balances the brightest and darkest points for a well exposed image. It has a 26.2-megapixel fullframe CMOS sensor and a native ISO range of 100-40,000 that can be expanded to an ISO range of 50102,400.
Its Dual Sensing IS detects camera shaking for effective image stabilization, allowing users to capture images at a shutter speed of up to five stops slower. It also has an in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer that corrects aberrations, diffraction, and optical distortions.
With Dual Pixel CMOS AF that provides a smooth and incredibly fast autofocus speed of up to 0.05 seconds, users can capture images of fleeting moments and create unique compositions without worrying about the focus using the 4,779 selectable AF positions within the expanded AF area. Its minimum AF luminance of EV-5 further provides accurate focus even in poorly lit conditions while the Eye Detection AF which even works in Servo AF modedetects and ensures that the subject’s eye is always in focus even when moving and at wide open aperture.
The Focus Bracketing feature of the EOS RP comes in handy for users looking to create images with a large depth field. It automatically shoots a series of photos based on predetermined settings such as number of shots, focusing range, and first focus point which can then be stitched together to form the final image using the Digital Photo Professional software.
When in situations which require minimum disturbance, the camera’s Silent Mode enables users to shoot in stealth, without the sound of a shutter release.
The EOS RPalso shoots in Ultra High Definition 4K at 24p/25p video footage. With Touch& Drag AF, users can even create pullfocus effects and easily transition focus by simply moving a finger from one to another part of the LCD screen. Combination IS also provides stable footages even without a tripod.
When recording a video with the RF lens, users can adjust the AV setting to make 1/2-stop aperture adjustments. When shooting manually, the MF Peaking function ensures accurate focusing by highlighting areas in focus.
