<p id="f70692aa-2b0c-460c-96bc-a1eb3b7279c9" class="quill-block">Canon has unveiled a new mirrorless camera in the EOS Cinema range, the <strong>Canon EOS R5 C.</strong></p>
<p class="quill-block"> It's aimed at experienced videographers and professionals, and it can produce 8K 60p RAW videos. It also has the same design as the <a title="Discover the Canon EOS R5" href="https://www.mczdirect.com/fr/canon-eos-r5/-canon-eos-r5-nu-garantie-2-ans--6394.html"><strong>Canon EOS R5</strong></a> , with an RF mount and an active heat dissipation system to prevent overheating.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> It is also capable of shooting 45MP photos at 20fps. Here is a summary of all its features. </p>

<h2> <strong>Canon EOS R5 C: combination of the EOS Cinema and EOS R ecosystems</strong></h2>
<p class="quill-block"> Announced in July 2020, the Canon EOS R5, the first "consumer" (and photo-oriented) camera capable of <strong>capturing 8K RAW</strong> , has been the talk of the town since its launch. Unfortunately, the R5's overheating issues dampened enthusiasm among videographers in its early days.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The Canon EOS R5 C is a new "version" of the EOS R5 camera that is specifically <strong>focused on video</strong> . The Japanese firm is targeting this new model primarily at content creators, independent filmmakers, video reporters, corporate photographers or directors specializing in events or documentaries.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> A big potential target, but the majority of its sales are focused on popular cameras that are both photo and video, such as Sony and Panasonic bodies (hello GH5 and A7S series).</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The new Canon EOS R5 C camera bridges the gap between the <strong>Canon EOS C cinema line</strong> and the EOS R ecosystem. The latter body, like the recent EOS C70, uses an RF mount – which is definitely a departure. </p>
<p class="quill-block"><img src="https://www.mczdirect.com/img/cms/EOS" alt="EOS<span class=" /> %20R5% 20C/Canon-eos-r5c-1.jpg" alt="Canon EOS R5 C rear" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<h2> <strong>The EOS R5 with a ventilation system</strong></h2>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 and EOS R5 C are nearly identical, with only a few changes. The camera body is identical, measuring 14.2 centimeters wide and 10.1 centimeters high. However, a number of changes have been made to this <strong>cinema camera</strong> to differentiate it from previous Canon mirrorless cameras. The original R branding has been replaced with the C branding that designates cinema bodies.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Note the red trigger and the small indicator light located in the upper left corner of the case. On the back, you will find at least 13 customizable keys, to which you can assign one of 80 different abilities.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> On the top edge, we find a "new generation" shoe, which we had already seen on the <a title="Discover the Canon EOS R3" href="https://www.mczdirect.com/fr/canon-r3/-canon-r3--9689.html"><strong>EOS R3</strong></a> . It makes the EOS R5 C compatible with Tascam accessories for high-quality sound recording by adding more connections.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The most significant distinction is on the back of the camera. The new Canon EOS R5 C camera features an active cooling fan, which is located on the back of the camera (like the Panasonic S1H), to address the overheating issues that plagued the EOS R5.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C is therefore significantly heavier than its big brother (11.1 cm compared to 8.8 cm). Fortunately, the weight is well contained (680 g).</p>
<p class="quill-block"> We should be able to shoot very long sequences using this active ventilation approach. In this regard, consider that the EOS R5 C also removes the 30-minute limit imposed on videos by the (now repealed) European camcorder legislation.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C also has many of the same components as its big brother, the EOS R5. The 0.5-inch OLED viewfinder with 5.76 million pixels, as well as the tiny control screen on the top edge, are both present.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The 3.2-inch rear screen is again mounted on a ball joint and offers 2.1 million points, as on the EOS R5. Note that it can be used to see more clearly by activating the Zebra mode or the "false color" control (in order to more easily visualize the exposure). A Zebra adjustment is also accessible.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C uses the same three elements as the EOS R5: a 45 MP CMOS sensor (here not stabilized), a Digic X processor and an RF mount. The three elements that allow you to <strong>record videos in 8K</strong> while capturing photos at 70 frames per second in burst mode (with electronic shutter).</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Another notable feature: The EOS R5 C is a dual-head camera due to its separate photo and video capabilities. The mode dial, for example, must be turned off before switching from photo to video (and vice versa).</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Better yet: the "photo" firmware and the one for video are completely separate - and different. We find the same menu structure in photo as on the EOS R5 (see below). The autofocus modes, on the other hand, differ. WiFi is only accessible in photo mode: you will have to use a separate accessory if you want to make it work in video mode. ditto</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The distinct separation between photo and video operations within a single camera is surprising, as it gives the impression of having two separate cameras in a single body. </p>
<p class="quill-block"><img src="https://www.mczdirect.com/img/cms/EOS" alt="EOS<span class=" /> %20R5% 20C/Canon-eos-r5c-3.jpg" alt="Canon EOS R5C top view" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<h2> <strong>The Canon EOS R5 C records 8K 60p RAW video internally.</strong></h2>
<p class="quill-block"> Beyond these factors, the EOS R5 C is a serious combat video camera that can <strong>shoot 8K RAW</strong> at 30p internally – all thanks to the full width of the sensor. The result is 8192 x 4320 pixel (oversampled) photos and a maximum bitrate of 2140 Mbps.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> And, if you want to get the most out of this camera, it can record up to 60 frames per second... but only if it's connected to an external power source. Otherwise, recording is possible but without the "motorized" functions (aperture, focus, zoom).</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C also has "crop" modes that allow you to film in Super 35 and Super 16. Also note that the camera can produce 4K (or 2K) images by oversampling photos taken with 8K resolution.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Photos are captured in 12-bit and in Cinema RAW Light format, which includes similar color grading options to "classic" Cinema RAW. The latter offers the same degree of color customization as "classic" Cinema RAW, but with smaller file sizes. Canon says it has included "three distinct variations of the new RAW format": Raw HQ, Raw Standard, and Raw Light.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> However, 8K 60p RAW recording only exists in RAW Light format. The same goes for 8K 25p RAW: it is only accessible in 5.9K at 25p or 3K at 25/50p (in RAW Light). In terms of maximum duration, it is 31 minutes for 8K 50p, 63 minutes for 8K 25p (in RAW Light), 41 minutes for 8K 25p (in Standard RAW), and 38 minutes for 5.9K at 25i (in Raw HQ).</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Obviously, the time needed to process a low resolution video is much longer than the time needed to process a high resolution video (up to 8 hours of continuous 2.9K at 25p in RAW).</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C also features an HDMI output that allows for recording <strong>8K RAW footage</strong> . The ability to shoot ProRes RAW footage with the EOS R5 C has been confirmed by the brand, so an Atomos Ninja V+ can be used to capture ProRes RAW video with the EOS R5 C. </p>
<h2><img src="https://www.mczdirect.com/img/cms/EOS" alt="EOS<span class=" /> %20R5% 20C/Canon-eos-r5c-6.jpg" alt="Canon R5C rear view" width="900" height="600" /></h2>
<h2> <strong>There are several possibilities for filming.</strong></h2>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C records in 12-bit Cinema RAW Light as well as 10-bit Canon XF-AVC (up to 810 Mbps). MP4 recording is also available (HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit and H.264 4:2:2 8-bit), especially for creating proxy video files.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Therefore, keep in mind that the EOS R5 C allows for dual simultaneous recording thanks to the inclusion of an SDXC slot (UHS-II compatible) alongside the CFexpress card slot.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C will also be able to capture slow motion footage in 4K at 120p with autofocus, compatible with 4:2:2 10-bit. For colorimetry, the camera offers the possibility of <strong>capturing in Canon Log 3</strong> and is compatible with HDR PQ (Perceptual Quantization) for those who want to film in HDR.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> On the downside, there are no built-in ND filters; they remain the domain of the EOS C70 camera. We can count on user LUT tables to help you, as well as the possibility of designing your own custom LUT.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C is compatible with anamorphic lenses thanks to electronic image decompression in the viewfinder and on connected displays. All three anamorphic formats 2x, 1.8x and 1.3x are available.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C's sensor isn't stabilized, but the camera does include an in-body electronic image stabilizer (IS) that can correct motion blur across 5 axes. A system Canon developed in late 2020 for use with the EOS C500 Mark II's RF lenses.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The camera takes advantage of the gyro chip built into the lenses to improve roll and pitch stabilization when shooting with RF lenses. In standard mode, the crop is required at 10%, while in "Enhanced Stability" mode it is 30%.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C's Dual Pixel autofocus is inherited from the EOS R5. The camera uses EOS iTR AF X technology in video, with automatic face and head detection and tracking (even when the subject turns their back or is hidden behind an obstacle). The AF should be able to adjust speed and responsiveness in ten steps each.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> In photo mode, however, the system behaves similarly to that of the EOS R5; it detects and tracks the subjects' eyes.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Finally, Canon would like to assure its existing customers that their EF mount lenses can be used with the EOS R5 C using EF-RF adapter rings.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Therefore, we should note that the camera is compatible with the original EF-EOS R 0.71x adapter ring, which was created for use with Super 35mm cameras. Finally, the EOS R5 C becomes the second camera to be compatible with its RF 5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye lens and its virtual reality platform. </p>

<h2> <strong>The EOS R5 C uses the same battery as the EOS R5</strong></h2>
<p class="quill-block"> When it comes to connectivity, the EOS R5 C is not stingy. In addition to the two "classic" 3.5mm jacks for headphones and microphones, there is a micro-HDMI port and a USB Type C 3.2 port. There is also a DIN Time Code connector and an N3 port for the wired remote control, as mentioned above.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Additionally, there is the multifunctional flash shoe compatible with the Tascam CA-XLR2dc-C adapter to connect four XLR cables for high-quality audio.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The R5C can accommodate CFexpress 2.0 Type B cards in its slot. The presence of an SDXC card slot, as mentioned earlier, is a pleasant surprise.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> Battery-wise, the EOS R5 C uses a rechargeable LP-E6NH Li-ion battery, the same one used in the EOS R5. Canon has listed a maximum shooting time of 50 minutes in 8K RAW 25p or 35 minutes in 4K XF-AVC 50p at the moment.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> However, the camera can be used in wired mode with the PD-E1 USB-C adapter or the DR-E6 Power Coupler (which has the advantage of continuing to power the camera even after it is turned on). Note that the EOS R5's BG-R10 grip doubles the battery life.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C is compatible with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz). Video mode requires the use of the WFT-R10 grip, which has Wi-Fi capabilities as well as image transfer to a server.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C, meanwhile, comes with a new Canon CTM app. Exclusive to iOS, it lets you connect the camera to your iPhone via USB or Wi-Fi to send videos and metadata to an external server.</p>
<p class="quill-block"> The EOS R5 C also supports a "browser remote" feature that lets you control the camera remotely using its IP address using a basic browser. Finally, the camera is compatible with Canon's image.canon service, which was created two years ago.</p>
