In the year 2020, a new era of imaging with the legendary EOS R5 was released. Canon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera capable of 8K movie recording with no crop factor. This flagship of the EOS R system is capable of fast and precise autofocus (AF), rapid continuous shooting of up to 20 fps as well as advanced Animal Detection AF. Equipped with the new In-Body Image Stabilizer (IS) that provides up to 8 stops of stabilisation*, the EOS R5 marks the culmination of the best in photography and videography, giving photographers and videographers alike endless possibilities with their creative endeavors.

Autofocus
Autofocus performance has been upgraded with the new Dual Pixel CMOS AF II that locks focus quickly and accurately.
AF coverage has been expanded to approximately 100% × 100%* of the image area.
With up to 5,940 manually selectable AF positions, and up to 1,053 AF frame segments in the AF auto-area selection modes, this means greater flexibility in image composition.
*Focusing area varies depending on AF method and lens attached.
Eye, Face & Head Detection
Similar to the flagship DSLR EOS-1D X Mark III, advanced algorithms in the EOS R5 make it possible to detect and track a subject’s eye, face or head even when the subject is faraway or facing away from the camera.
Capture desired and unexpected moments with the ultra-fast, near-silent burst shooting capabilities of up to 20 fps. AF/AE tracking ensure that your shots are sharp and in focus.
The silent shutter will also come in handy in photographing weddings, sporting events and wildlife.
A new 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer in the EOS R5 corrects image blur caused by camera shake, allowing for sharper handheld capture, even with a slower shutter speed.
This also works in tandem with the Optical Image Stabilizer in the lens, offering stability equivalent to shooting with a shutter speed up to 8 stops* faster, effectively opening up more possibilities for low-light handheld shooting, super-telephoto and long exposure photography.
*Subject to lens pairing and other conditions.
Dual Card Slots
The EOS R5 doubles your memory capacity with dual card slots that fit one SD card* and one CFexpress (Type B) card, which is especially necessary when performing 8K recording or high-speed burst shooting.
*SD, SDHC, SDXC (UHS-II compatible)
Shutter Durability
High-speed continuous shooting calls for additional shutter durability. The newly designed shutter mechanism of the EOS R5 has an outstanding endurance of approximately 500,000 cycles, so you can fire those burst shots with peace of mind.
The shutter curtain can be set to close upon powering off to prevent dust from enter. It can also be left open to eliminate any sound during power up, especially when performing silent shooting.
Strong & Durable
A robust magnesium alloy body ensures toughness and durability while remaining relatively light, whereas weather sealings on critical areas help prevent dust and moisture from penetrating the body.
High Battery Capacity
The new high-capacity LP-E6NH battery features an increased 2130mAh capacity, allowing you to shoot more and do more with the feature-packed EOS R5.
The camera is also compatible with the BG-R10 battery grip that accommodates two battery slots and easier handling for vertical shooting.
Improved Ergonomics
AF selection is quick and intuitive with the multi-controller, which has 3 levels of sensitivity to choose from.
The EOS R5 also inherits the 3 dials (1 main dial and 2 quick control dials) from the EOS 5D series for quick and convenient operation.
High-Precision EVF
A high resolution electronic viewfinder of approximately 5.76 million dots displays bright and clear images even at f/22, which comes in useful for ultra-telephoto shots.
It also has an increased display frame rate of 119.88 fps for faster response time to accommodate burst shooting.
Connectivity
image.canon Cloud
Automatically upload images and video files in their original quality from your EOS R5 to the image.canon cloud-based storage platform for easy access anytime and anywhere, from your PC or smart device.
Image.canon is also compatible with third-party services such as Google Drive, YouTube and Adobe Creative Cloud.

5GHz Built-In Wi-Fi
The EOS R5 is equipped with built-in support for 5GHz and 2.4GHz wireless LAN*, allowing for high-speed data transfer to your PC or smart device. Transfer to FTP server is also supported.
For even faster speeds and stable connection, the EOS R5 is compatible with the wireless file transmitter WFT-R10.
*Specifications may vary by country/region.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology enables a constant, low-powered connection between the camera and a paired compatible smart device.
This allows for geotagging of images and remote camera operation through the Camera Connect app.
