For continuous shooting applications, the 40 fps shooting rate can be used in conjunction with Pre-Continuous Shooting, which allows the camera to continuously pre-buffer 20 frames over a 0.5-second period while half-pressing the shutter, prior to fully pressing the shutter—helping to ensure you never miss the critical moment of action. The EOS R1 also has a mechanical shutter, which supports a top continuous shooting rate of 12 fps.

• The camera body's 5-axis sensor-shift system is compatible with all lenses and helps to lessen the effects of camera shake in a general sense, for sharper handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds.
• When paired with an RF lens with image stabilization, Coordinated Control IS can deliver even more powerful stabilization, up to 8.5 stops of correction in the center of the frame and 7.5 stops of correction at the periphery.
• For video shooters, Movie Digital IS is an electronic stabilization system that helps suppress blur in peripheral areas to better enable recording video handheld.

One of the main benefits of the DIGIC Accelerator is a new focusing mode built specifically for photographing sports and action: Action Priority. This intelligent AF mode recognizes specific subjects movements and automatically moves the AF area to the player performing a detected motion, such as taking a shot, making a pass, jumping, and more.

It currently recognizes Soccer, Basketball, and Volleyball activities and can analyze Ball, Joint, Torso, Action, and Head information for tracking. The mode can recognize specific subjects and uses this information in conjunction with recognized movements to determine where to focus in the scene while the action is unfolding.

• Action Priority can be assigned to a custom function button for quick on/off toggling.
• Pre-Registered Person Priority allows you to register up to 10 different people in-camera prior to photographing an event; this information is stored and used to prioritize who to focus on while the game or match is being played.
• Intelligent subject recognition also helps to maintain sharp focus on the intended subject even when it's obscured or crossed by a secondary subject in the frame.
• Can be used in conjunction with Pre-Continuous Shooting mode.

• Magnesium alloy exterior is dust- and water-resistant with full protective sealing at all seams and behind each button.
• Measures 0.7" shorter than the EOS-1D X Mark III and weighs 2.1 lb—more than half a pound less than its SLR predecessor.
• Integrated vertical grip improves the ergonomics and makes the EOS R1 easier to hold throughout a full day of shooting. The grip also includes updated rubber that is more comfortable and provides greater traction while holding.
