Canon EOS R5C

Canon EOS R5 C is a hybrid full-frame camera that combines the still-photography capabilities of the EOS R system with the recording tools and interface of Cinema EOS. Built around a 45 MP full-frame CMOS sensor and Canon RF mount, it records internally up to 8K RAW and can capture 8K60 when powered from a compatible external power source. Its compact body makes it a strong choice for productions that need high-resolution cinema recording, professional monitoring tools and full-resolution still photography from the same camera.

8K RAW recording from a 45 MP full-frame sensor

EOS R5 C uses a 45 MP full-frame CMOS sensor capable of 8192 × 4320 DCI 8K recording. Cinema RAW Light provides high-quality RAW capture with multiple compression options, while XF-AVC and MP4 formats offer more storage-efficient workflows. The camera records 8K up to 30 fps from its internal battery and can reach 8K60 when supplied with compatible external power.

4K120 and oversampled 4K workflows

For slow-motion production, EOS R5 C supports 4K recording up to 120 fps. It can also produce high-detail 4K footage derived from the higher-resolution full-frame sensor. The combination of high-resolution recording and high frame rates gives the camera flexibility for commercials, music videos, branded content and compact cinema setups.

Dedicated Cinema EOS and Photo operating modes

A three-position power switch allows the camera to boot into either Photo mode or Cinema EOS Video mode. Video mode provides familiar cinema tools such as waveform monitoring, false color, shutter angle, Canon Log 3, timecode and professional audio settings, while Photo mode delivers the still-image controls and high-speed shooting capabilities associated with the EOS R5.

RF mount and active cooling for extended recording

The Canon RF mount provides access to modern RF lenses and can also use EF optics through compatible adapters. Unlike the standard EOS R5, R5 C includes an active cooling fan designed to support extended video recording sessions. Dual card slots for CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II media allow the camera to handle high-bitrate RAW recording as well as lighter proxy and still-photo workflows.
