Q&A

Yes. The Canon EOS R5 C records 8K Cinema RAW Light internally to CFexpress Type B cards at up to 60 fps without the need for an external recorder. You can choose from three RAW Light flavours (HQ, ST, LT) depending on your desired bitrate and workflow requirements.

Unlike the R5 and R5 Mark II, the EOS R5 C features a dedicated Cinema mode with tools like waveform monitoring, false colour, timecode support, and dual menu systems for video and photo use. It’s essentially a Cinema EOS camera inside a mirrorless body, offering internal 8K RAW and unlimited recording times with active cooling.

The R5 C does not have in-body sensor stabilisation, but it uses digital IS and lens-based stabilisation on RF and EF lenses to reduce shake during video capture. For handheld filmmaking, pairing with IS-equipped lenses produces excellent results.
