Right from the start, the Canon EOS R3 has been no slouch with its 30 fps continuous shooting. With the new firmware update, however, Canon is surpassing that speed with a new firmware update that allows the EOS R3 to shoot at a whopping 195 fps.
EOS R3 firmware 1.2.0 was announced recently and it brings with it a bunch of big improvements:
- A new custom high-speed continuous mode allows photographers to capture between 2 and 50 images at frame rates between 30 and 195 fps. This mode works in both raw and JPEG, although exposure and autofocus must be locked. This is great for a variety of situations, such as jumping a horse or hitting a baseball player.
- New Full HD 240p video mode.
- New time-lapse mode.
- The new focus stacking mode also works with Canon Speedlite EL-1 and “composite depth” in camera.
- Enhanced digital image stabilization in movie mode.
- New ability to crop and resize images during FTP transfer.
Overall, firmware 1.2.0 seems like a big step forward for a camera that is already close to the front of the pack in terms of capabilities. These are just the headline features; Payment procedures Canon’s page for the full list and download link, and let us know if you’ve tried it!
