Tips
ISO
The R5 C allows native ISO up to 102400, so you can push ISO confidently in low light.
Aperture
You can set the aperture in video mode directly using the lens control ring if it's enabled.
The Canon EOS R5 C features a vari-angle touchscreen, allowing you to compose shots from low or high angles easily. This is especially useful for creative compositions without straining your neck.
Use the electronic viewfinder (EVF) with the live histogram overlay on the Canon EOS R5 C to ensure your exposure is spot-on before you take the shot. This helps prevent blown-out highlights or underexposed shadows.
The Canon EOS R5 C has a dedicated control ring that can be customized to adjust settings like aperture or ISO without taking your eye off the viewfinder. Assign it to your most-used setting for quick adjustments.
Activate the Canon EOS R5 C's focus peaking feature to see sharp edges highlighted in the viewfinder when using manual focus. This is particularly helpful for achieving precise focus in shallow depth-of-field shots.
The Canon EOS R5 C is weather-sealed, making it a reliable choice for outdoor photography in challenging conditions. Don't hesitate to take it out in less-than-ideal weather for stunning landscape shots.
