A first for EOS cameras, the R3 features a stacked sensor design that promotes impressively fast read-out speeds to greatly reduce rolling shutter distortion and enable faster shooting performance. This 24.1MP full-frame CMOS chip also has a back-illuminated design that is more efficient at gathering light, which leads to reduced noise, higher clarity, and smoother color rendering, particularly when working in low-light conditions.
Electronic Shutter
A main benefit of the stacked sensor design is an electronic shutter function that can shoot continuously up to 30 fps, for up to 150 raw frames, with virtually no rolling shutter distortion. When working in manual or shutter-priority modes, the top shutter speed is 1/64,000 sec and flash sync is possible with an electronic shutter, up to 1/180 sec. This versatile shutter function is inherently silent but can be paired with a choice of audible shutter noises to go along with each shutter click to make it easier for subjects to recognize when a photo has been taken.
A manual shutter is also available, and offers a top continuous shooting speed of 12 fps, with a buffer of more than 1000 frames, along with a top flash sync speed of 1/250 sec.
