New Technology Explained

8K internal RAW recording

The EOS R5 C can capture stunning 8K DCI RAW video at 30P (up to 60P with external power supply) internally to a CFexpress card¹, using the whole width of its full-frame sensor for a truly cinematic look. Focus tracking is also available, for footage that looks slick and professional. 8K RAW provides the highest level of image quality and flexibility: capture four times as much resolution as 4K and change parameters such as white balance after footage has been shot, using Canon Cinema RAW Development software or your favourite non-linear editing application.

4K 120p HFR recording

Alongside its 8K capabilities, the EOS R5 C captures 4K DCI (full frame) and 4K UHD at frame rates up to 120fps with audio and auto focus, with 4:2:2/10-bit quality, enabling smooth slow-motion with stunning high resolution. The EOS R5 C also oversamples the full-frame sensor for exceptional 4K and Full HD clarity with increased sharpness and colour fidelity, and low noise.

Internal Cooling supporting long-form recording

The EOS R5 C features internal cooling thanks to a brand-new design which allows heat build-up to be dissipated and expelled via a built-in fan and exhaust at the rear. This clever engineering enables long duration 8K recording in Canon’s smallest and nimblest Cinema EOS camera.
