ST for standard quality, and Raw LT for light recording at the smallest file size. All three modes are 12-bit, regardless of frame rate. The camera can shoot in the popular 10-bit XF-AVC format up to 810Mbps and up to 8K in MP4 format – great for quicker delivery with minimal post work. The EOS R5 C also supports Raw output via HDMI for ProRes Raw recording, with a compatible external recorder like the Atomos Ninja V+. This enables ProRes Raw at up to 8K/30p. Proxy data can be simultaneously recorded to an SD card in-camera, helping to provide a fast and lower-resolution copy for speedy workflow. The camera supports HDR via PQ and HLG, as well as Canon Log 3 gamma for a wide dynamic range. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF system has eye AF and EOS iTR AFX settings. This technology tracks people’s eyes in real time, and can even follow their head as they look away from the camera. Working in combination with the optical IS in compatible lenses, the EOS R5 C also features electronic image stabilisation for smooth handheld footage. Two card slots – a CFexpress 2.0 Type B and UHS-II SD card slot – allow simultaneous recording options. Different formats, resolutions and bit depths can be recorded to each card at the same time for more flexible workflows. The EOS R5 C has the same Multi- Function Shoe found on the EOS R3 and XF605. This directly connects to, and powers, accessories such as Canon’s stereo microphone, a Speedlite 470EX-AI flash and Tascam’s CA-XLR2d adapter, for up to four-channel digital audio. “The EOS R5 C can capture internal 8K/30p Raw recording– and up to 8K/60p, but only when using an external power source”

CINEMA CHOICE If you shoot mostly stills and some video, the EOS R5 is the way to go. But if you focus largely on video, the new R5 C is the natural option – it offers so much more cinematography spec and comes at a great price

It also has a dedicated timecode in/out terminal for integrating into a professional multi-camera crew. Canon’s Content Transfer Mobile app allows fast and easy FTP file transfers and the editing of metadata, ideal for news. Also present is 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There are 13 assignable buttons for customisation on the weather-resistant body, a 3.2-inch vari-angle LCD and 5.76 million dot viewfinder – like the EOS R5. This model has two menus for stills and video. Choose stills and you get the usual EOS R interface; select cine and the very different Cinema EOS menus appear. ISO range is 100-51,200, expandable to 102,400. In stills mode, there is high-speed continuous shooting of up to 12fps using the camera’s mechanical shutter mode – and up to 20fps in silent electronic shutter mode. With 1053 Automatic AF zones, the camera can track the whole body, face or eyes of cats, dogs and birds with animal detection. And it offers vehicle subject detection for racing cars and motorcycles. canon.co.uk

FIRMWARE BOOST FOR EOS C70 The Canon EOS C70 will get a free firmware update that adds 12-bit Cinema Raw Light recording. The latest version has Raw Light LT 4K recording and XF-AVC proxy recording to support this. Also new are Frame and Interval options, like stop-frame animation and time-lapse video. And the camera has greater compatibility with 12 further lenses when using the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x. This gives full optical correction, metadata and autofocus support when fitting EF mount lenses. In associationwith

FAN-TASTIC Cooling is no problem on the EOS R5 C, thanks to these vents and a built-in cooling system; a timecode port aids multi-cam shoots. Twin card slots handle internal memory duties – one is CFexpress Type B and the other SD
