MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine having
the best of both worlds at your fingertips. A Canon camera with
equal parts video and still digital imaging power, all in one
compact-and-lightweight package. Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, is excited to announce the EOS R5 C Full-Frame
Mirrorless Camera, a hybrid, RF-mount 8K camera that has something for everyone. The
new camera showcases video formats and features from the
company's award-winning Cinema EOS line, alongside select
still capabilities that have made the EOS R5 camera a popular and
trusted choice among imaging professionals and enthusiasts
alikei.
"Imaging professionals are living in a multimedia world. Gone
are the days of only needing to be sufficiently equipped and
skilled at video or stills," said Tatsuro "Tony" Kano, Executive
Vice President and General Manager of Canon U.S.A.'s Imaging Technologies &
Communications Group. "The EOS R5 C squarely takes aim at
providing end-users with a solution that can tackle all facets of
the ever-demanding multimedia and content production landscape.
Canon is confident this all-in-one solution can help improve the
workflow for a variety of content creators."
Small, but Mighty
The EOS R5 C camera can record
non-stop, uninterrupted 8K/60Pii thanks to an active cooling
system. 8K video delivers outstanding
definition and realism with four times the resolution of
4K video, enabling unprecedented
capabilities in video expression and highly flexible workflows,
such as 4K cropping from 8K footage.
The EOS R5 C camera can record High Frame Rate (HFR) video up to
120P at 4K resolution in 4:2:2 10-bit
without cropping the sensor, an ideal option when shooting scenes
full of fast-paced action or when the camera is paired with a
gimbal or drone. Canon's renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF is functional
even in HFR shooting. Unlike some cameras where audio is not
recorded during HFR shooting, the EOS R5 C camera can record .WAV
audio as a separate file from video, virtually eliminating the need
for separate audio recording.
The EOS R5 C is the first Canon camera to provide internal
8K (8192x4320) 60P Cinema RAW Light
recording. Cinema RAW Light is a popular and valuable format found
in other Canon Cinema EOS cameras such as the EOS C300 Mark III and
EOS C500 Mark II. This feature captures the full dynamic range of
the sensor and provides video data with a cinematic look, optimized
for advanced grading and HDR, in a more manageable file size than
Cinema RAW. Cinema RAW Light now has three newly-developed modes,
RAW HQ (high quality), RAW ST (standard quality), and RAW LT (light
recording). All three modes are 12-bit regardless of frame rate.
The EOS R5 C can also record 8K video
in MP4 format, ideal for quicker delivery.
The EOS R5 C supports RAW output via HDMI for ProRes RAW
recording with compatible a external recorderiii. When
connecting the EOS R5 C with a supported external recorder, users
can shoot in Apple ProRes RAW at up to 8K/30P. Proxy data can also be simultaneously
recorded to an SD card in-camera, helping to provide efficient
post-production operations.
Powerful Still Imaging Performance
With the flip of a
switch, the EOS R5 C becomes a familiar force to be reckoned with
as a still photography camera. At its core is Canon's 45-megapixel
high resolution, high-speed full-frame CMOS sensor, paired with the
equally impressive DIGIC X image processor that provides users an
ISO range of 100-51200; expandable to 102400iv. Precise
focus and lightning-fast speed are cornerstones of the EOS R5 C,
featuring Dual Pixel CMOS AF II and high-speed continuous shooting
of up to 12 frames-per-second (fps) in mechanical shutter mode and
up to 20 fps in silent electronic shutter mode. This allows users
to track and photograph split-second movements of even the most
elusive subjects. With EOS iTR AF X and 1,053 Automatic AF zones,
it is easier than ever to photograph people using Eye, Face and
Head Detection AF, or intuitively track the whole body, face, or
eye of cats, dogs, or birds with Animal
Detection AFv. For those with the need for speed,
the camera also offers vehicle subject detection to track cars and
motorcycles accurately, especially in race-type environments.
Connectivity like 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi®vi and
Bluetooth®vii connectivity is also included for the
transfer of still images.
Additional Features of the Canon EOS R5 C Camera
Include:
- Supports 8K HDR recording in
Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) and Perceptual Quantization (PQ)
formats

high-definition debayer algorithm that processes RGB data of the
8K sensor with less incidence of
moiré, false colors, and noise
