- The Canon EOS R5C is a professional hybrid cinema camera that bridges the gap between the EOS R mirrorless system and the Cinema EOS line, offering 8K/60p RAW video and 45MP stills.
- Ideal for professional cinematographers and event photographers in high-demand markets like Mumbai or Delhi who require a single body for high-resolution commercial stills and long-form 8K video production.
- Rent the R5C instead of the standard R5 to benefit from the internal cooling fan which eliminates overheating limits, and the professional Timecode terminal for multi-camera sync.
Questions about this gear
Does the Canon R5C overheat during 8K recording?
No. The Canon R5C features an internal active cooling fan system that allows for non-stop, unlimited recording in 8K/60p and 4K/120p without the overheating issues found in the standard EOS R5.
What battery does the Canon R5C use?
It uses the LP-E6NH battery. For 8K/60p RAW recording, it is highly recommended to use an external USB-C Power Delivery (PD) source or a dummy battery to ensure the lens iris and high frame rates function correctly.
Can I use EF lenses on the Canon R5C?
Yes, by using the EF-EOS R Mount Adapter, you can use the full range of Canon EF and EF-S lenses with complete autofocus and metadata support.
Is the Canon R5C waterproof?
The R5C is dust and moisture-resistant, featuring weather-sealing similar to the EOS R5. However, because of the active cooling vents, it is not fully waterproof and should be protected in heavy rain.
