Lightning-quick connectivity that puts you in first place

Use Wi-Fi or ethernet to transmit images to your agency or client in real time, thanks to FTP support. The secure protocols SFTP¹ and FTPS are supported, so your images are safe at all times. The EOS R3 supports the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, making use of both 2.4GHz and 5GHz² bands for extended range and reduced interference. The WPA3 Wi-Fi security standard is also in place.

When shooting from ethernet-equipped venues, the camera’s RJ-45 terminal ensures the fastest, most stable connection possible (up to 1000BASE-T), helping you get images and video to where it’s needed as fast as possible.

The EOS R3 takes many of its network capabilities from our award-winning EOS-1D X Mark III. In fact, the two cameras can interchange network settings via memory card, so agencies can provide set-up configurations prior to an event.

To help make set-up even faster, especially in venues that you’ve already worked in, up to 20 groups of network settings can be stored in the camera for instant recall, which can be for ftp servers, local computers of smartphones.

When the EOS R3 transmits image or video files, voice tags, star ratings and in-camera crop adjustments are also transmitted, saving time for picture editors battling to get your work on-line first.

The EOS R3’s built-in GPS geotags each image with your location, and keeps the internal clock accurate. It supports a number of satellite systems including GPS, GLONASS, as well as MICHIBIKI Quasi-Zenith satellites for more versatile positioning data.

Your smart device can also be used to remotely control the EOS R3, helping you shoot from those exciting, hard-to-get-to viewpoints. You’ll be able to adjust settings, see what the camera is seeing and capture pictures and video all from the screen of your phone or tablet. The EOS R3 is Apple MFI certified too, so it can connect directly to your iPhone via a USB- Lightning cable. Android devices can be connected via USB 3.

Our free EOS Utility software also allows remote camera control from a Mac or PC too – just connect using USB 3.2, Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Images can be saved to memory card, computer or both – ideal for work in controlled conditions.

Need a bit more range? The EOS R3’s Remote Browser function (available when connected by ethernet) allows it to be controlled across networks. Images can be captured remotely and files downloaded. Settings (including FTP details) can be adjusted even when the camera’s in use.

Useful for many news and sports photographers is the option to automatically “protect” images which have been sent to a FTP server. Protecting images means they are locked and can’t be accidentally deleted and are easily to identify which images were sent to a client, when they are all transferred to your computer after the shoot.

The EOS R3 also supports cloud storage platforms, thanks to our innovative image.canon gateway. The camera even uploads picture and video files automatically, so they are ready in your imaging workflow when you return from a shoot.

Store unlimited photos (including RAW files) online at image.canon for up to 30 days before deciding which to move to another cloud service, such as Google Drive, or Adobe Cloud.

For the ultimate in image quality, RAW files uploaded to the image.canon cloud can be processed in the cloud using deep-learning de-mosiacing and High ISO Noise reduction algorithms. The results are superb with fewer artefacts and less image noise.
