Great Grey Owl at 40 Frames Per Second with the Canon R1

This is not a "video".  This is a sequence of 220 shots photographed over 5.5 seconds of a Great Grey Owl in Yellowstone National Park.  I then took the 220 photos and slowed them down to 11 seconds so you can see how good the R1 AF is.  Every shot in this 220 sequence is in focus. The Canon R1 can shoot 40 uncompressed raw files per second for 5.5 seconds, which is 220 shots over the 5.5 seconds.  With CRAW mode, in theory, you would be able to hit 440 over 11 seconds since CRAW cuts the file size in half.   I have not tested the Canon R1 in CRAW, but basically keep the R5 II in CRAW and it is fine.  

If you have questions or interest in a Canon R1, then please contact me as I am more than happy to help!
