Auto Focus Properties | |
The EOS R’s auto focus processor uses 5955 AF points (or sensors). A basic rule of thumb says that the more AF points you have, the better. More AF points mean a better chance to have a point at the location of interest in a scene, a big plus in challenging situations (e.g. when panning the camera). Manual focus is also possible with the Canon, a plus in tricky situations or for some creative freedom. |

Display Specs | |
The EOS R features a monitor with a diagonal of 80.00mm (3.1 in.) and a resolution of c. 2.10 megapixel. A resonable value that will make it easy to evaluate images directly in-camera. The camera’s display is articulated, a plus for selfies and other challenging situations. The EOS R’s monitor can work as a touch screen, just like a smartphone. That can be very useful, for example to pick AF points, but keep in mind that touch screens usually don’t work when wearing gloves. Display characteristics at a glance: |
