The answer is NO ! I downloaded the EOS RP user manual. There is no front IR sensor. It is explicitely written in the manual that you can't use the RC-6 remote control. You shall use the bluetooth BR-E1 remote control. 40 € ! Out of stock ! The RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM lens is also out of stock ! What happens to Canon ? The virus ?
i have the bluetooth remote for my M50, it works well but you should be able to use your phone as a remote also.
