Sharing its photo specifications with the EOS R5, the Canon EOS R5 C Full Frame Cinema Camera incorporates additional professional video features, creating a high-performance workhorse capable of capturing high-quality 45MP images, as well as shoot up to 8K 60p* video.

The EOS R5 C is the first Cinema EOS System camera to provide internal 8K 60p recording*. This allows for highly flexible workflow, such as 4K cropping from 8K footage without any loss in quality. The R5 C can also record 8K in the versatile MP4 format, as well as allow for lighter proxy video recording in 8K for more efficient editing and previewing.

Canon EOS R5 C adopts a newly-developed heat dissipating design with a built-in cooling fan system that keeps the internal temperature from rising along with airflow separate from the mainboard. Dramatic improvement of the thermal design achieves long hours of non-stop recording in high-quality 8K/60p video.*


Key Features of the Canon EOS R5 C Full Frame Cinema Camera

  • 45MP Full-Frame CMOS sensor offers stunning resolution for large prints and the flexibility to crop your images
  • New heat-dissipating internal cooling system to allow for non-stop recording
  • Internal 8K 60p recording*
  • Customisable buttons and dials
  • Dual card slots, with 1x CFExpress and 1x SD card slots
  • Timecode input/output terminal along with numerous other interfaces
  • Compatibility with Canon VR RF lens

8K 60p Internal Raw Video Recording*

8K offers outstanding definition and realism with 16 times the resolution of Full HD video, enabling unprecedented capabilities in video expression and highly flexible workflows, such as 4K cropping from 8K footage. The EOS R5 C can also record 8K video in the highly versatile MP4 format. Lighter proxy video can also be recorded while shooting 8K.

Canon EOS R5 C also supports simultaneous recording options in different file formats where resolutions and colour sampling can be assigned according to workflow requirements.

High Quality 4K 4:2:2 10-bit Video
The EOS R5 C can readout signals for all effective pixels from its full-frame 8K sensor, enabling 4:2:2 10-bit high-definition recording through oversampling during 4K/2K video recording.

Full Frame 4K 120p High Frame Rate Video
High Frame Rate (HFR) movies in maximum 120P at 4K resolution (4096x2160/3840x2160) are recorded without cropping the angle of view. 4:2:2 10-bit sampling is supported even when shooting in HFR. AF is also enabled when recording in HFR as well as audio on a separate file from the video.

A Variety of Recording Formats
Along with Cinema RAW Light, which provides light data sizes for RAW recording, the EOS R5 C supports MXF-based XF-AVC, which conforms to broadcasting standards, and highly versatile MP4.

Additional Terminals enabling the EOS R5 C to support professional video requirements

  • External Mic Input
  • Timecode input/output terminal (Din 1.0/2.3)
  • Digital terminal (USB Type-C
  • HDMI micro output
  • Headphone output
  • Sync terminal

High Performance & High Precision Focusing

The EOS R5 C's innovative UI applies Dual Pixel CMOS AF phase-difference detection AF technology, to also tell you if the focus position is in the front, or the back.

A wide variety of AF modes enable autofocus that responds to the subject's movement.

  • Touch Focus can be used to control high-speed continuous AF, within approximately 80% of the vertical and horizontal area of the screen.
  • Eye AF detects the human eye and closely tracks it, to continue shooting while maintaining accurate focus.
  • Head Detection can also be used to focus on the back of a person's head, closely tracking the subject even when they have briefly turned away from the camera - great for shooting sports or other fast-moving situations.

Dual Card Slots For Simultaneous RAW Recording

The R5 C boasts dual card slots, allowing simultaneous recording. Options in different file formats, resolutions, and colour sampling can be assigned according to workflow requirements.

Newly Developed Internal Cooling Fan

The R5 C has adopted a newly developed, heat-dissipating design with a built-in cooling fan system that keeps the internal temperature from rising, along with airflow separate from the mainboard. Dramatic improvement of the thermal design achieves long hours of non-stop recording in high-quality 8K 60p video*.

Enhanced Image Stabilization

With an RF lens and electronic IS, coordinated control achieves the optimum hand-shake correction.

Compatibility with Canon VR RF lens

High-resolution VR images and video can be shot by attaching the Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye, a stereoscopic RF mount fisheye lens designed for VR movie shooting, to the R5 C.

Other Functions

  • Content Transfer Mobile App | The addition of the optional Wireless File Transmitter WFT-R10 allows Proxy camera files (video/audio) and News Metadata can be instantly transferred from compatible smart phones to make workflows faster and more efficient.
  • New Browser Remote | Wireless control feature optimised for single-operator shooting, with improved smartphone and tablet layouts.
  • Multi-Function Shoe | Audio can be transmitted as a digital signal when used with an optional XLR adapter and digital MIC.

*8K 60p recording requires connection to an external power source via either the combination of DR-E6C DC coupler + CA-946 power adapter (RF and EF lenses via EF-EOSR lens adapter); or PD-E1 USB Power adapter (RF lenses only). These accessories are available for purchase separately.
