With a 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor, you can rest assured your Canon EOS R5 photos will be full of rich, sharp detail. The Canon EOS R5 uses the renowned DIGIC X Image Processor, which boasts an ISO range of 100-51200, expandable to 102400, to deliver fast, efficient performance with high-resolution images fit for print.
Stunning 8K DCI cinematic movie capture:
The Canon EOS R5 is the first Canon full-frame mirrorless camera built to capture 8K movies (uncropped, at up to 29.97 frames per second). With this footage, you can extract impressively detailed 35.4MP still images — a blessing for videographers who double as photographers. For slow-motion footage, the EOS R5 also offers 4K video shooting at up to 119.9 frames per second. The 5-axis in-body image stabilization with up to eight steps of shake correction will guarantee that sharp footage is as smooth as can be.
Continuous capture at 20 frames per second:
From wildlife to weddings, photographers will enjoy the Canon EOS R5’s silent electronic shutter with speeds of up to 20 frames per second. The mechanical shutter, which performs at up to 12 frames per second, will undoubtedly wow action shooters as well.
Quick focusing with Dual Pixel CMOS AF:
High-resolution photos and 8K video mean nothing if the subject isn’t in focus. But with the Canon EOS R5’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, focusing is easier than ever. This system features 1,053 automatic autofocus zones that work as autofocus focal points when using face and tracking priority. This guarantees precise eye detection to capture the action both quickly and sharply. And the Canon EOS R5 focus features don’t stop there. A sensitive low-light autofocus, head and eye detection, and animal detection — the first for a Canon mirrorless camera — make the EOS R5 a must-have for virtually any and every creative situation.
