Still Photo Capture. The R5 C offers still imaging with continuous capture at speeds of up to 20 fps using the 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor and the DIGIC X processor. Autofocus options are available to suit just about any type of action and include Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II for freezing split-second movements, 1,053 AF zones used for Eye, Face, and Head Detection AF, Animal Detection AF for grabbing wildlife or furry friends, and Vehicle Detection for nailing those automobile product shots.

Cinema Video Imaging Cine camera users will see the familiar Cinema EOS menu when using the R5 C in video mode, making it easier to switch between a Cinema EOS camera like the C70, C300 Mk II, or C700 and an R5 C being used as a “B” camera. 

Resolution. This is the first Cinema EOS camera with the ability to record 8K video internally at rates up to 8K60p using Canon‘s Cinema RAW Light codec or in MP4 for quicker uploading. The incredibly detailed 8K (8192 x 4320) resolution can be used natively or used for 4K cropping from within the frame. 

The R5 C’s ability to record two resolutions simultaneously means you can capture in Cinema RAW Light for your final version while capturing 4K, HD, or a proxy file for speedier, less storage-intensive editing. HDR Imaging The R5 C offers HDR (High Dynamic Range) in HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) in PQ (Perceptual Quantization)―producing richly detailed, lifelike footage even in 8K. Canon Log 3 compatibility streamlines simple grading when pairing the R5 C with other Cinema EOS models on multicamera shoots. 

Sensor Modes. Content is produced for a wide variety of cinema-style forms, and the R5 C has you covered with the ability to select from full-frame, Super35, and Super16 modes. High-frame-rate options include up to DCI 4K120 in 4:2:2 10-bit without sensor cropping and the ability to use autofocus and record audio files even at high frame rates.

Design. A fan system keeps the R5 C cool, enabling uninterrupted, internal video recording, and pro touches such as a timecode port, durable housing, and a built-in cable clamp make the R5 C easy to integrate into your all-day, multicamera events.
