Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R
These mount adapters is another step-up by adding a drop-in filter function—circular polarizing filter3 or variable neutral density filter3. Users can directly adjust the polarizing angle or the ND filter density on the adapter, especially useful on lenses that does not support filters, such as fish-eye lenses. Users no longer need different filters for different lenses.

3 Two kits for Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, one with Circular Polarizing Filter and one with Variable Neutral Density Filter. Both comes with a clear filter for normal shooting.
Making the Best of It
Having twice the power in the BG-E22 battery grip for the EOS R allows twice the opportunities to capture moments. The battery grip can hold up to two batteries and is first of its kind that allows direct charging, up to two batteries with PD-E1 USB adapter.
The BG-E22 further adds on the ergonomics of the EOS R, improving on the comfort and providing a firmer grip even when shooting in vertical (portrait) orientation.
Compact Luminance
The new Canon Speedlite EL-100 is built with functionality and convenience in mind. With the ability to turn the flash-head in all directions of up to 180 degrees, users can bounce light with the ceiling and wall in both horizontal and vertical orientation.
First in Canon’s Speedlite, EL-100 features Continuous Shooting Priority* (CSP) mode and Auto mode*. The Speedlite would reduce its output power and raise ISO to save power, allowing more shots whilst using CSP mode. For new users of Speedlite, they could make full use of the Auto Mode*, similar to Auto Mode on the cameras with built-in flash, it would determine how much flash is needed.
*functions when paired with EOS R
With the introduction of gamut of products, Canon is also providing an *INTRODUCTORY OFFER of 1 additional battery (LP-E6N) and 1 Mount Adaptor (EF-EOS R) along with the purchase of EOS R body or EOS R kit (with RF24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens).
