Canon's innovative 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System debuted in 2018. With its pioneering RF mount and full-frame mirrorless design, the 30.3MP 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 camera introduced new photographic opportunities. At launch, it was supported by four dedicated RF lenses, plus three mount adapters that enabled photographers to experience the advanced performance of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 with their existing EF and EF-S lenses. The four RF lenses were the RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM, the RF 50mm F1.2L USM, the RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM and the RF 28-70mm F2L USM.

The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System was developed around the RF mount, a new-generation lens mount that allowed the rules of lens design to be reimagined. The large mount, short flange back and high-speed communication enabled a new breed of lenses that delivered higher quality and were faster than their EF equivalents – and unique primes and zooms that hadn't been possible before, such as the first standard zoom with a constant f/2 aperture. RF lenses could be more compact, have a higher optical performance or include new functions – and in some cases they did all three.

For decades, professional photographers have relied on Canon's trinity of professional EF mount f/2.8 zoom lenses to deliver outstanding results in tough conditions. But the launch of the trinity of ultra-wide, standard and telephoto RF zooms marked a new high-performance era.

Each of the RF Trinity optics took the classic professional workhorse lens qualities – L-series build, excellent image quality and a fast maximum aperture that's consistent throughout the zoom range – and elevated them.

The RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM is similar in size to the EF version, for example, but boasts 5-stops of image stabilisation, enhanced image quality and a lens control ring for improved handling. Likewise, the RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS USM introduced an Image Stabilizer as well as faster, quieter autofocus and a wider view compared to its EF cousin.

It was with the launch of the compact, lightweight RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM that the size advantages of the mirrorless RF mount were most evident, though. The all-purpose telephoto's new space-saving design, 5-stop Image Stabilizer and fastest-ever AF have made it an unrivalled choice for shooting stills and video handheld.

If the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 showed the potential offered by the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System technology, the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 and the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6 demonstrated some of the potent ways it could be used. They were the first Canon bodies to feature an In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS) which can deliver up to 8-stops of stability with IS or non-IS lenses, and works collaboratively with lenses featuring optical IS.

They also marked the first time that autofocus programmed using deep-learning AI had been used in a Canon mirrorless camera. Originally developed for the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, the AF technology was more advanced in the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 and 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6, which were able to automatically track dogs, cats and birds as well as people.

As the world's first 8K mirrorless camera, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 set a new benchmark for hybrid performance. Its cutting-edge sensor could output 45MP stills silently at 20fps as well as full-frame 12-bit 8K RAW video. The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6 delivered near-identical performance but with a more prudent 20.1MP and 4K 60p video.

Canon's flagship full-frame camera raised the game for sports, wildlife and news photography. The Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3 delivered a new level of performance and innovation, with state-of-the art stacked sensor technology enabling 6K RAW 60p video to be recorded internally, plus a continuous stills shooting speed of up to 30fps with full AF/AE tracking. A later firmware update would see a staggering 195fps high-speed burst option added to the camera.

The refined performance extended to a sportier deep-learning autofocus system. In addition to detecting people and animals, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3 introduced the ability to recognise and track motorsport vehicles. The camera also came equipped with Eye Control AF, enabling the user to focus on the subject by simply looking at it in the viewfinder.

The launch of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3 marked the debut of Canon's Multi-function shoe – a next-gen mount that replaced the conventional hotshoe on a camera. As well as being compatible with existing Speedlites and triggers, the Multi-function shoe is able to provide power and advanced communication for new accessories.

The high-resolution 8K sensor technology developed for the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 and the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C has unlocked a host of creative opportunities for photographers and filmmakers – including the ability to produce immersive content. With the launch of the Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE and the Canon EOS VR System, professional content creators were able to acquire a full input to output solution for generating stereoscopic 180° VR experiences.

Canon's innovative dual-lens design enabled two fisheye images to be recorded side-by-side on a single full-frame sensor. This made it simpler to set up and shoot stereoscopic images, effectively removing any issues of lens alignment and image synchronisation, and saving time in post-production.

VR workflows have been further streamlined with the addition of the EOS VR Utility software and the EOS VR plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro, enabling Canon's circular fisheye footage and stills to be converted into equirectangular images for VR playback and further editing.

Taking the successful blueprint of the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C delivered a video-first design focused on the needs of filmmakers and videographers. The smallest Cinema EOS camera fused the core features of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, including the full-frame sensor, RF mount, 8K video and 45MP stills, with an extensive array of video recording formats and professional filmmaking tools. It was also the first camera to feature a dual interface which could be changed from EOS to Cinema EOS at the flip of a switch.

A new active cooling fan lifted the limit on long-duration 8K recording, for example, while Waveform Monitor, False Colour, Timecode and the ability to record in three Cinema RAW Light formats ensured that the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C could be seamlessly integrated into an existing cinema camera setup.

The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C has already proved indispensable on a range of productions, whether as a main camera, as a B-cam or rigged to a drone for epic 8K aerials. Its unique combination of compact size, high-res capture and Cinema EOS controls makes it ready for anything.

The launch of the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播7, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播10 and the RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lenses marked a milestone in the history of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System. The first APS-C cameras and lenses to feature the RF mount demonstrated the decisive advantages that came from combining 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 technology with the APS-C sensor format: smaller, lighter cameras and lenses that offered uncompromising performance.

The 32.5MP 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播7 built on the legacy of the semi-professional EOS 7D series of DSLRs, with ultra-fast 30fps continuous shooting, intuitive controls and exceptional image quality. New design features, including a combined AF point selector and rear control wheel, allowed users to react more instinctively when shooting handheld. The camera also inherited Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology with deep learning AI and subject recognition from the flagship 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3 and 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, plus it boasted an In-Body Image Stabilizer for shake-free images while shooting handheld.

For photographers and content creators looking for an even more portable option, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播10 provided a rewarding blend of features. It too can automatically recognise people, animals and vehicles, and keep them sharply focused, and can reach a top shooting speed of 23fps. Paired with the RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens, it offered the perfect package for content creators looking to travel light, while having versatile and dynamic kit.

Building on the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6's sensational high-speed, consummate low-light performance and outstanding image quality, the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6 Mark II delivers faster continuous shooting, more intelligent autofocus and advanced video capabilities.

With its 20fps shooting speed, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6 was no slouch, but the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6 Mark II is able to hit an explosive 40fps with its electronic shutter. A 30fps RAW Burst mode with Pre-release enables you to capture the decisive moment even before you've pressed the shutter button.

Autofocus speeds are 80% faster than on the original 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6, and more precise, too, thanks to the next generation of deep-learning AI autofocus. The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播6 Mark II is able to detect and track more subjects than before, including aircraft, trains and horses.

Adding to this high-performance hybrid's versatility are professional video features that you'd expect to find on a Cinema EOS camera. Highlights include the ability to record 6K ProRes RAW to an external recorder, false colour warnings that provide an easy-to-see indication of exposure, and a heat efficient design for longer shoots.

As one of the first photographers to shoot with the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播, Guia Besana had to quickly get up to speed with the unfamiliar in more ways than one. "Up until that point I had been shooting reportage but I was starting to do more staged setups in my personal photography," she says. "I'd never used a studio before, so this shoot gave me the opportunity to try something new."

Guia says that the experience of shooting A Rummage of Flowers was a turning point for her. "If I'd been asked to shoot reportage with this camera, I probably wouldn't have pushed the new technology," she says. "Instead, being in a situation where I would typically use medium format showed me that I could achieve the image quality that I needed for my personal work using this small and easy-to-carry camera."

The idea behind the shoot, Guia explains, was to talk about women, their fragilities and their strengths. The resulting body of work combined models, flowers and vivid colours to captivating effect. Although she planned the ingredients for her images, Guia composed the pictures on the spot. "I was challenging myself as Canon was challenging me with a camera that I had never used before," she says. "The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 was on a tripod, which allowed me the time to consider the image and make any changes. I immediately saw that the autofocus technology was much better than I had been used to. I was able to touch any part of the screen to set the focus point, which was not possible before.

"The dedicated RF lenses are also very high quality," Guia adds. She primarily used the Canon RF 50mm F1.2L USM but also tried the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM via the Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播. "When I downloaded the images, I immediately saw that the resolution and colours were amazing," she says. "This was a camera that could support large prints, and I knew that the quality of the files would be more than enough to replace medium format with the new mirrorless system."

"It wasn't an issue of having to shoot in low light – there was no light," says German documentarian Daniel Etter of one of the most technically demanding shoots he's ever been on. Photographing the men who work the Lupeni and Lonea coal mines in Romania's Jiu Valley saw him push the pioneering Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 to its limits in the unlit depths.

"Where the miners work is very far from the entrance," he recalls. "They call it the front and it's a 45-minute walk through passages that get ever smaller. Sometimes you have to crawl under conveyor belts and through the coal seams. It was pitch black and the only source of light was the miners' headlamps, and they were constantly on the move. This meant that it was extremely difficult to get anything in focus, as you were just waiting to get the light on the right spot. It's also obviously extremely dirty, with all of the coal dust getting onto the camera and into your eyes."

Another challenge Daniel had to overcome was the limitations on the equipment he was allowed to carry. "The coal seams release methane, and there was a worry that if you take electronic equipment down there, the whole thing could potentially blow up," he says. "So they take your camera to a lab to check it. You're also limited in what equipment you can take into the mines. I don't normally use flash, but that was certainly a place where it would have made sense to bring a Speedlite."

In the end, Daniel didn't need to push the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 beyond ISO 12,800 as the headlamps of the miners proved to be relatively bright sources of illumination.

Following his experience of working with minimal mirrorless kit in tough conditions, Daniel says he continues to travel light. "Nowadays, all I have is a Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, a Canon RF 28-70mm F2L USM lens and a bunch of batteries, plus a backup body and lens," he says. "That covers everything, and the way that the autofocus has advanced means that I can focus more on the content than the technical aspects of photography."

Wedding photographer Fabio Mirulla has earned a reputation for using his Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System cameras and lenses to capture the unexpected. "Sometimes wedding photographers have this idea that you can only shoot beautiful pictures in incredible locations, but that's totally wrong," he says.

Fabio's forced perspective image, which ingeniously combined an adjustable lamp and a bride getting ready for her big day, was named the Grand Winner in the 5th International Wedding Photographer of the Year 2021. "When I had this idea, I thought it was a good one, but people went crazy for it, and yet, it's just a normal situation, with a normal lamp in a normal house," he says. "I needed to use f/22 to achieve the necessary depth of field, and I had to set a very high ISO to get a usable shutter speed. But the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5's IBIS really saved the day."

The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5's high burst rate made the difference to another of Fabio's favourite wedding shots, captured ahead of an approaching thunderstorm. "We started the outdoor ceremony and raindrops soon started to fall, so I set the camera to its high-speed setting and just kept the shutter button pressed down, because I knew we wouldn't be there for long," he says. "Sure enough, a few minutes later it was raining cats and dogs! I've shot maybe 400-500 weddings in my career and I've never seen rain like that."

It was only days later, when reviewing the pictures on a computer, that Fabio realised he'd captured a bolt of lightning in one shot. "I've dreamed about this kind of picture for years!" he says. "The composition and positions of the bride and groom are perfect."

The unique range of RF lenses has also afforded Fabio new creative opportunities. He's embraced the sweeping views that the Canon RF 16mm F2.8 STM lens delivers to create striking party scenes, for example. "With a lens like that, you're not a photographer shooting the party from outside; you're in the middle of the scene," he says. "I get down low or hold the camera up high, and use the camera's Vari-angle screen to compose the shot."

Don't be fooled by the serene quality of Marina Cano's magical low-light shot of a cougar mother and her cubs; the conditions were tougher than they appear. At the moment the picture was taken, the wind was ferocious and the temperature near-freezing. "But it was one of those times where you are so focused on what you are doing that you don't feel anything," she says. "It's only later that you realise your fingers are numb with pain from the cold."

Marina captured the scene on a Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3 during her first visit to Patagonia. It is now one of her favourites, an artful record of one of the most memorable encounters she's had in the wild. "I was hoping to be lucky and see maybe one or two cougars, but the first day we were exploring the terrain and witnessed something really unusual – 11 cougars in one area," she recalls. "These are normally solitary animals so it was an historic sighting. The people who work in the conservation programme there are experts in cougars, and they still don't have an explanation for that sighting."

Marina was tracking the predators on foot and took this eye-to-eye shot while lying on the ground some 18 metres from the animals. "I mainly photograph wildlife in Africa where you are always in a vehicle," she says. "But with cougars I didn't have the feeling of fear that you'd have if you were walking with lions – something I've never done, by the way."

A combination of camera features enabled her to realise her vision at speed. "One of the things I love about the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System is being able to see the image in the viewfinder exactly as the camera sees it," she says. "I usually underexpose to create more drama, and I can see the effect precisely at the moment that I'm shooting.

"The autofocus is also amazing. When you're working with long lenses in low light, the speed and accuracy of focusing can be critical. But even here, the camera caught the eyes of the animals and was able to focus so fast. It enabled me to trust the camera so much."

When bird photographer Jonas Classon saw the image of two fighting razorbills appear on his Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3's screen, he screamed. "I was so surprised because everything had happened so quickly," he says. "All I heard was the shutter sound from my camera, firing at 30fps as it tracked the birds spinning down towards the sea."

Jonas captured this magnificent mid-air moment during a visit to the UK's Bempton Cliffs, a high-rise coastal nature reserve that hums with bird life in spring and summer. "As soon as I saw the two birds were starting to lose their grip on the rocks, I quickly lifted my camera, held down the shutter and sprayed and prayed," he says. "The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3's super-fast autofocus is a huge advantage for a bird photographer. There were only one or two seconds from when I first saw the behaviour to when I started shooting, but the camera simply nailed the focus.

"Out of the sequence of 80-100 images, there was one where everything came together. The wings were spread out perfectly and the background was dark blue sea instead of pale grey rock. That's thanks to the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播3's ability to capture these moments at such high speed, allowing me to really pick out that best image that tells the whole story.

"It enables me to push my limits as a photographer and to really be on the edge of my ability, and focus on the most important things – the birds' behaviour and everything going on around it."

Another of Jonas' highlights from the same trip is a shot of a cruising gannet. "We'd had five days of very cloudy weather and strong winds, but finally there was a sunrise that created this amazing light," he says. "I have seen this colourful phenomenon a few times but never with my camera in my hand – and especially not with a gannet flying beautifully over the ocean. I think in terms of the 'wow factor', it was one of the most memorable moments for me."

Action and sports photographer Martin Bissig travels the world to capture epic stories in stills and video for commercial and editorial clients. Expeditions and mountain biking are particular specialities, and where Martin's compact and lightweight 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System kit have made life on the road (and mountains) easier.

While you can't leave things to chance when planning an expedition, Martin recently seized the opportunity for an impromptu shoot with his Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 after discovering an inspiring location by chance.

"I was working alongside my friend [Mountain Bike & Trial rider] Tom ?hler on a mountain bike feature, and our location was a ski resort in Chongli, China," says Martin. "On that day, we decided to capture some street shots on the mountain bike. Unexpectedly, we stumbled upon an intriguing scene at our hotel. From the outside, it mirrored a European ski resort, but as we descended the escalator, we were greeted by the interior of what appeared to be a futuristic nightclub.

"As I began to take a few photographs, I was immediately taken aback by the avant-garde setup, which we hadn't anticipated. The lighting in the underground club was quite poor. However, shooting with the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 enabled me to confidently boost my ISO up to around 6400, even under these challenging conditions."

To make the most of the location, Martin stuck with one of his favourite lenses for shooting mountain biking: the Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS USM. "It allowed me to capture not just the action but also the surrounding reflections on the floor and the lightbulbs on the ceiling," he says. "When I checked the images on the camera screen, I was instantly awestruck by the vivid colours, the reflection and the symmetry I had managed to capture. I immediately knew that these photos were quite different from my usual style.

"As an outdoor photographer, this indoor, spontaneous shot was something I had not planned for, but it surprisingly led me in an artistic direction that I do not typically venture into."

Whether you're shooting stills, video, or a combination of both, the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System provides the technical, optical and sensor performance that can take your work in a thrilling new direction. But this is just the start of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System story, with many more inspiring chapters to come.
