Canon EOS Ra FAQs

What memory card does the Canon Ra support?

Can I use EF lenses on the Canon Ra?

You can use EF lenses on the Canon Ra by using the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R. There is also an EF-EOS R adapter with a control ring built in, a variable ND filter built in and a polarizer built in.

Is the Canon Ra waterproof?

Although the Ra features a dust and water-resistant construction, this cannot completely prevent dust or water droplets from entering the camera. So if you do intend to use the Ra in very wet or dusty environments it’s recommended to use additional protection to keep your camera safe.

Where is the Canon Ra manufactured?

The Canon Ra is manufactured in Japan.

What makes the Canon Ra different from the Canon R?

The EOS Ra features a new IR filter array in front of the sensor, which enables four times as much Hydrogen Alpha light to be transmitted, compared to the normal EOS R. This enables the camera to capture the distinct reddish colour of nebula.

About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started RFShooters.com with my amazing sister Emma to share our own adventure with the Canon R Series. At present I own the R5 + RF 100-500 lens. I also run a similar site for Sony Alpha Shooters and also shoot with a Sony A1. I find new camera technology fascinating so I unfortunately suffer from a very bad case of GAS! You can follow me on Instagram if you wish! Although I don’t post as often as I should.
