Primary Specifications And Extras
An Effective 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS Sensor And DIGIC X Processor
The 24.2-megapixel sensor delivers stunning and sharp photographs even at a distance or in low light. The R10 CMOS (APS-C) sensor gives the ideal balance of detail, speed, resolution, and low light performance. A maximum ISO sensitivity of ISO 32,000 (extendable to ISO 51,200) allows for more detail and less digital noise when clicking in the dark.
The DIGIC X image processing engine allows you to click high-quality images continuously without worrying about battery life. Basically, the processor delivers responsive handling and minimal viewfinder blackout or lag.
Deep Learning And Dual Pixel CMOS AF II System
The mirrorless EOS R10 features Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing system carried over from the EOS R3. The focusing system is programmed using deep-learning technology for advanced and accurate subject recognition and tracking.
The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing system features 651 automatic AF points that cover the whole image sensor area for faster, more responsive, precise, and incredibly sensitive focusing performance. This allows the camera to focus to an impressive -4 EV for accurate focusing and tracking in nighttime conditions or poorly lit scenes.
The focusing system also has enhanced subject detection and tracking, with the ability to recognize people, animals, and vehicles, as they move anywhere in the frame.
Movie Digital IS
The EOS R10 Movie Digital IS feature helps to reduce camera shakes when recording videos with the camera. The technology can provide effective stabilization even when the selected lens is not equipped with an Image Stabilizer.
Image And Video Qualities
The camera is optimized to capture sharp and beautiful still images and videos. Beyond clicking amazing photos, you can record superb and high-res 4K/30p video, produced by oversampling 6K output from the EOS 24.2 effective megapixel. The sensor ensures the footage appears clear, bold, and amazing, especially when shown on a 4K TV.
Furthermore, you can record 4K/60p for smooth reproduction of moving subjects and footage. And for slow-motion playback, recording in Full HD is supported for up to 120p. The EOS R10 also offers 4K and Full HD time-lapse modes that deliver great results.
Low Light Performance
A 24.2-megapixel sensor and DIGIC X processor allow the R10 to perform incredibly in all kinds of lighting conditions or situations. Alongside the standard high sensitivity of ISO 100 to 32,000 (extendable to ISO 52,000), the camera also features an in-built flash for more control and added advantage at nighttime.
Speed Performance
The EOS R10 is built to shoot up to 15 frames per second with its mechanical shutter and approximately 23 frames per second with its silent electronic shutter.
When you switch to RAW Burst mode, you can click approximately 30 frames with a 75% crop. The results can be stored as a single movie file to help keep things organized, and single frames can be extracted and saved as JPEG, RAW, or HEIF files.
Practically, the camera can capture the perfect moment between your subjects’ movements without motion blur. This makes it ideal for dynamic action photos such as sports or wildlife.
Body Design And Handling
The body consists of a magnesium alloy and high-strength engineering plastic. It weighs approximately 382g and 429g with card and battery, according to CIPA testing standards. Generally, the r10 has an intuitive design and controls.
You can find all important controls and buttons right under your fingers and thumbs. Custom function buttons are also available – making it easier to operate. The grip feels sturdy and comfortable, and the Menu is easy to navigate.
Viewfinder And Display
It has a bright, clear 2.36m-dot (1024×768) OLED electronic viewfinder with approximately 100% vertical and horizontal frame coverage. The R10 also features a 2.95″ touchscreen vari-angle LCD monitor, which allows working from high and low angles.
