The EOS R1 is designed for both photographers and videographers. Particularly, those who create content in the field of sports, photojournalism, and high-end video production. The EOS R5 Mark II featured improved video features for the advanced creators and a real-time multi recognition tracking system for those who focus on photography.

This system can track subjects like a hawk, even in chaotic environments with unpredictable movements. Plus, a brand new "Action Priority" mode automatically recognises and tracks athletes in basketball, soccer, and volleyball, ensuring you never miss the winning shot or the game-changing play.
