Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera (Body Only)

Prepare for a new kind of shooting with the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera if you're a wedding videographer, a drone camera operator, or a multi-media journalist with professional picture still and cinema video production demands. The R5 C becomes a fully functional still photo camera with all the settings of the R5 EOS mirrorless camera at the flip of a switch. When turned around, it transforms into a full-frame 8K60 Cinema EOS camera with 12-bit Cinema RAW Light internal recording. When stills and video are accessible in a single small design, there's no need to bring a second camera to your production.

Comparing the R5 C to its siblings, the R5 and C70, the R5 C offers a number of improvements, such as 4K120 recording, HDMI RAW output, Canon Log 3 HLG/PQ support, unlimited recording time, a timecode port, Dual Pixel CMOS AF with eye detection, an active cooling system, a high-power LP-E6NH battery, 13 reassignable buttons, and a multi-function shoe for XLR adapters. Additionally, the camera preserves the dependable attributes of earlier cameras, like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, video compatibility with DaVinci Resolve and Canon applications, an electronic RF mount, CFexpress/SD card slots, a resemblance in the button arrangement, and more. The EOS R5 C shares the same level of resistance to moisture and dust as its EOS C70 cinematic cousin. And all of this can be found in a 1.7 lb body that begs to be used as your primary drone camera.

Similar characteristics and technology to the EOS R5

The EOS R5 C camera's outstanding image quality is driven by Canon's 45MP full-frame CMOS imaging sensor, which also paves the way for remarkable 8K60 RAW cinematic video capture.

The EOS R5 C camera prioritises focus and speed, offering exceptional still-image continuous shooting at rates of up to 20 fps. It also has Dual Pixel CMOS AF II capabilities, allowing it to follow split-second movements of even the most elusive subjects.

• Eye, Face, and Head Detection AF makes it simple to take pictures of people, while Animal Detection AF makes it simple to track the entire body, face, or eyes of cats, dogs, or birds.
• For those who need to move quickly, Canon has also included still-image vehicle subject detection to help with precise tracking of cars and motorcycles.
• For the transfer of still photographs, connectivity such as 5 and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is also incorporated.

Video Control for the Dedicated Video Professional

The well-known Cinema EOS menu system and interface take over as soon as the primary switch on the EOS R5 C is flipped to the "video" position. For the skilled camera operator or video content developer, the EOS R5 C's video potential is significantly increased by the availability of anticipated high-level video capabilities like waveform displays, video codec choices, and full audio control. Menus for the "picture" operation are quite similar to those on the EOS R5 camera.

Adaptive EOS Design

The body of the EOS R5 C camera is very thin and light. When used with a Canon RF lens (or an EF lens when using the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R), it delivers exceptional performance, is comfortable in your hand, and makes handheld shooting of both still and video easy. It employs the same ergonomic grip design and optically enlarged electronic viewfinder for viewing at eye level as a regular EOS R5 camera.

DIGIC X processor with CMOS sensor

High-definition video with an 8K60 resolution is produced by the DIGIC X processor and 8K CMOS sensor. Internal card recording is possible without the use of an external recorder when the Cinema RAW Light format is used in its high-efficiency mode. For the delivery of livestreams, broadcasts, and post-production projects, the EOS R5 C camera enables HDR recording in the Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) and Perceptual Quantization (PQ) formats. This helps ensure rich colour representation and wide latitude with a great range from pure white to black.

RAW 8K60 Recording

For post-production grading and preservation, Cinema RAW Light in 8K is fantastic, as is MP4, which is designed for quicker internet use. For internal recording on CFexpress cards, 5.9K in Super 35mm mode and 2.9K in Super 16mm mode are also offered. The efficiency of Cinema RAW Light video files has been improved to enable 12-bit recording at all frame rates. Users may choose the RAW video mode in accordance with their shooting requirements thanks to three newly designed Cinema RAW Light modes (High-quality RAW HQ, standard-quality RAW ST, and Light recording RAW LT). While filming in 8K, lighter, smaller proxy video files can also be recorded.

The EOS R5 C camera enables ProRes RAW recording with suitable external recorders like Atomos gadgets as well as RAW output through HDMI. Users may record in Apple ProRes RAW at up to 8K30 by connecting an external recorder with the EOS R5 C camera. Additionally, proxy data can be simultaneously captured in-camera to an SD card for effective post-production procedures.

Multiple File Formats and Parallel Recording

The EOS R5 C camera supports both the incredibly flexible MP4 format and Cinema RAW Light, which offers light data volumes for RAW recording. The EOS R5 C camera can concurrently record two separate video files in formats such Cinema RAW Light and MP4 at resolutions up to and including 4K and HD, as well as small proxy files for a variety of professional workflows. Strong 10-bit 4:2:2 files are available in XF-AVC. MXF wrapper enabling straightforward interoperability with current workflows and non-linear editing systems (NLEs).

Nonstop 8K60 Recording Is Made Possible by an Internal Cooling Fan.

The EOS R5 C camera has a cooling fan integrated into the body that expels heat from within, allowing for nearly endless recording of high-definition 8K60 video.

Increased Interface for Business Needs

The timecode input/output connector on the EOS R5 C camera makes it simple to synchronise while shooting with numerous cameras and other interfaces. When connecting interface or HDMI cables, a cable protector is also provided as standard to prevent cable separation or damage to the terminal if significant force is used.

Shoe with Multiple Functions for Audio Recording

The optional TASCAM CA-XLR2d-C professional audio XLR microphone adapter is compatible with Canon's multi-function shoe with digital audio interface for up to 4-channel audio. To fulfil the demands of professional video production, this add-on adapter adds two full-sized XLR terminals with phantom power and a shotgun mic mount. This permits digital 4-channel and 24-bit audio recording.

Different Power Options

For full lens functioning, Cinema RAW Light recording at higher resolutions and frame rates need greater power. The electronics of RF lenses or EF lenses mounted through an adapter cannot be powered by ordinary LP-E6NH, LP-E6, or LP-E6N battery packs in full-frame 8K60, Super 35 5.9K60, and Super 16 2.9K120 with Cinema RAW Light recording. At these settings, pure mechanical lenses can be used without any problems.

You can use the CA-946 power adapter with the new DR-E6C DC coupler for mains or pro D-Tap battery power sources, or you can use a power bank like the Anker Power Code 26800mAh PD or omnicharge Omni Mobile 25600mAh to achieve full electronic lens functionality with all Cinema RAW Light resolutions and frame rates.
13 Completely Functional Assignable Buttons

The EOS R5 C camera features 13 designated, assignable buttons that enable user-friendly, customizable operation and is developed with operational flexibility in mind, fitting to each unique professional workflow.

Oversampling in 4K and 2K

The full-frame 8K sensor of the EOS R5 C camera reads out signals for every effective pixel, enabling oversampling during 4K and 2K video recording to record in 4:2:2 10-bit high definition. The 4K output from the plentiful RGB data of the 8K sensor allows for more precise imaging capabilities with a lower incidence of moiré, false colours, "jaggies," and noise. A high-definition debayer algorithm has also been included.

Recording Mode for Slow and Fast Motion Up to 4K120 in 4:2:2 10-Bit

Without cropping the sensor, the EOS R5 C camera can capture High Frame Rate (HFR) videos at up to 120p at DCI/UHD 4K resolutions (4096 x 2160/3840 x 2160) in 4:2:2 10-bit. The EOS R5 C camera's quick and simple autofocus is excellent for capturing scenes full of fast-moving action and stays enabled even during HFR recording, making it the perfect choice when filming from a gimbal or drone and giving great focus accuracy at HFR or at regular frame rates.

HFR Supports Simultaneous Audio Recording

The EOS R5 C camera can capture audio during HFR shooting, unlike some other cameras that cannot.
When shooting slow motion or fast motion video, WAV audio as a distinct file from the video essentially eliminates the need for separate audio recording and delivers HFR video and audio files in one handy device.

Canon Log 3 Expands Expressive Possibilities

Canon Log 3, which is included in many Canon cameras and is compatible with a variety of Canon EOS and Cinema EOS cameras, is a feature of the EOS R5 C camera. A larger range of grading after shooting is possible thanks to the wide dynamic range. Canon Log 3 is a gamma that's made for straightforward grading, such tightening up the shadows and changing the tones. It maintains Canon Log's simplicity of use while producing less audible noise. The EOS C300 Mark III and EOS C70 cameras are only two examples of different Cinema EOS system cameras that may be used with it.

Enhanced Image Stabilization

When Canon's RF lenses with optical image stabilisation are used with the EOS R5 C camera's electronic image stabilisation when recording in the XF-AVC or MP4 formats, enhanced image stabilisation is accomplished through coordinated control.

Coordination is key to getting the best hand-shake correction results when using an RF lens with optical IS and the EOS R5 C camera's electronic IS. This improves anti-vibration performance in comparison to utilising both electronic IS and traditional IS on EF lenses (with an optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS R).

Support and Workflow for Canon VR with RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye Lens
The Canon RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye Lens with the EOS R5 C camera make a fantastic combination for creating stereoscopic 3D 180° VR footage (viewing in 3D requires the use of a compatible Head Mount Display). To speed up the process from shooting to editing, plug-ins are available for Adobe Premiere Pro and Canon's EOS VR Utility.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF with iTR AF X

Every pixel on the imaging sensor is used by Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology to both detect focus and record real picture data, resulting in high-precision focusing and excellent image quality. Approximately 80% of the vertical and horizontal area of the screen may be covered by AF for video with the majority of Canon RF and EF lenses.

• Touch AF enables rapid manual placement with the 8-way multi-controller on the back of the camera, as well as placing an AF point by touching the LCD screen.
• To enhance subject tracking, the camera has Eye AF/Head Detection AF, which was created using deep learning technology.
• It also has human detection (eyes, face, and head), which enables it to reliably track subjects even when AF control is not accessible.
• Depending on their topic or shooting scenario, users can adjust their tracking focusing as needed. A broad range of AF settings allow for focused photography that adapts to the movement of the subject.
• Users may focus on their camera work and leave the focussing to the camera.

The camera's operating and still-image characteristics are very similar to those of the Canon EOS R5. The EOS R5 C camera has the same 45 effective megapixel CMOS sensor that Canon designed, along with a DIGIC X Image Processor to speed up all processes. As a result, there will be quick, effective performance and incredible image quality for large prints, amazing video, and more.

DIGIC X Image Processor with an ISO Range of 100-51200; Expandable to 102400

The EOS R5 C camera can shoot at extended sensitivities down to ISO 50 (L) and up to 102400, offering high standard and expanded ISOs (for still shots) and a wide range of choices to aid improve photography in a variety of and quickly changing lighting circumstances (H).

High-Speed Continuous Shooting

• High-speed continuous shooting of up to 12 fps with Mechanical Shutter and up to 20 fps Electronic (Silent) Shutter
• High-speed continuous shooting with full AF subject detection and tracking, at all still-image quality settings
• A high-precision Dual Pixel CMOS AF system allows the EOS R5 C camera to reliably capture approximately 100% of the still-image area, with most Canon lenses

even at shooting rates as fast as 20 frames per second, the same subject identification and tracking AF as the Canon EOS R5 Camera.

Finding the head and the eyes

The EOS R5 C may concentrate on a detected person's eyes, face, head (if a face is hidden), or even complete body if a head cannot be identified by selecting "People" as the "subjects to detect" setting.

Pet detection

With several Canon lenses, the EOS R5's ground-breaking Animal Detection AF can recognise and focus on the eyes, faces, or bodies of birds, cats, and dogs over nearly the whole image. This creates entirely new opportunities for wildlife photography, especially with difficult subjects like flying birds.

Automobile Detection

The EOS R5 C offers Vehicle Detection AF as a subject detection option, carried over from the high-performance Canon EOS R3 camera. Even at high speeds, cars and motorbikes may be recognised and tracked, particularly in racing applications. The R5 C's AF can identify the helmets of an exposed rider or driver and focus on them rather than the leading edge of the vehicle thanks to the user-selectable Spot Detection feature.

Flexible AF Areas

Using the 8-way multi-controller on the camera's rear, you can quickly move a user-selected region and change the active AF area's size from a precise single AF point to the whole possible AF area. The selection of AF methods for still images on the EOS R5 C is identical to that of the EOS R5 camera.

For still images, AF Area Coverage is about 100% x 100%.

With certain RF and EF lenses, the EOS R5 C camera offers a large focus area of about 100% horizontally and 100% vertically while taking still images. The EOS R5 C focuses on about 80% of the horizontal and 80% of the vertical portions of the image when using older EF lenses or EF Extender types I and II. This implies that you can focus quickly and effectively even while positioning your topic outside the centre of the picture.

Low-Light Autofocus at EV -6

The EOS R5 C camera's excellent AF can work for still shots in light as weak as an EV -6 rating, where other AF systems may fail or seek. This makes it great for night photography or in extremely low-light situations. Canon RF tele extender and lens combinations with maximum effective apertures as slow as f/22 are capable of still-image autofocus, hence AF is still viable with the RF 800mm f/11 IS STM and RF 2x Extender.
