Designed for users who demand high performance for both video and still photo shooting, the EOS R5 C features a compact and lightweight body weighing approximately 680 g and makes possible 8K / 60P RAW internal video recording¹.

By switching modes via the ON/OFF dial on the camera body, the EOS R5 C can be used either as a video camera with Cinema EOS System quality, or as a stills camera with high performance surpassing that of the EOS R5 mirrorless camera² (released in July 2020).

The EOS R5 C is equipped with Canon's proprietary full-frame CMOS sensor that boasts 45 million effective pixels³ and a DIGIC X image processor that make possible internal recording of 8K / 60P RAW video. The camera is also ideal for a variety of video production scenarios thanks to support for 8K / 30P recording in the highly versatile MP4 file format.

With full pixel readout from 8K effective pixels, which possess a rich amount of data, the EOS R5 C can also perform oversampling to generate high-image-quality 4K / 4:2:2 / 10bit video. What's more, a proprietary heat transfer architecture that separates air flow intake and output from the circuit board, along with an internal thermal transfer fan, enable video recording for longer durations than is possible for the EOS R5.

The EOS R5 C employs the Cinema RAW Light recording format that preserves the data-richness of RAW video while reducing file size. Thanks to internal recording capabilities, video can be recorded on media such as CFexpress cards without the need for an external recording device. The camera also supports Canon's proprietary XF-AVC format based on broadcast standards, making it versatile and compatible with a wide range of user workflows. What's more, a high frame rate of up to 4K / 120P enables smooth video recording even when shooting slow-motion video.

The new camera realizes both high image quality, thanks to a 45 million effective pixel count, and high-speed continuous shooting. Continuous shooting of up to approximately 20 frames-per-second (FPS) is possible when using the electronic shutter, and up to approximately 12 FPS when using the mechanical shutter/electronic curtain⁴, thus making possible high-quality image capture even for moving subjects.

1 Shooting in 8K / 60P requires either the DC coupler DR-E6C or the USB power adapter PD-E1 (both sold separately, both to be released on the same day as the EOS R5 C)
2 The EOS R5 C is not equipped with in-body image stabilization (IBIS), and therefore cannot work in conjunction with optical stabilization mechanisms on the lens side.
3 Actual pixel count: approximately 47.10 million pixels.
4 Continuous shooting speed may vary depending on such conditions as aperture settings or type of lens used.
