Description

First-class image quality, whatever you’re shooting. From on-location reportage to studio portraits and landscapes in the evening light – the EOS 5D Mark IV delivers impressive detail even in high-contrast situations. 4K video sets a whole new standard of performance. Continuous shooting at up to 7 fps helps you capture the perfect moment; GPS records your shooting locations. Wi-Fi with NFC enables wireless control and fast sharing.

Innovative Dual Pixel RAW format

The 30.4-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor impresses with its wide dynamic range and the ability to shoot rapidly at up to seven frames per second (7 fps). With internal 4K video recording as well as built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, the EOS 5D Mark IV offers a successful combination of speed, high resolution, excellent low-light performance and modern video functions. The EOS 5D Mark IV is the first EOS camera capable of recording in Dual Pixel RAW format. This file format allows for the correction or repositioning of the focus point, horizontal shifting of the bokeh, and the reduction of lens flare during post-processing. 

The devil is in the detail
At the heart of the EOS 5D Mark IV lies the brand-new 30.4-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor. It delivers exceptional detail even in the brightest highlights and deepest shadows. The ISO range of 100 to 32,000 can be expanded to ISO 50 to 102,400, enabling superb shots in virtually all lighting conditions. An optimised noise reduction algorithm delivers even better low-light results, which is ideal, for example, for photojournalists who have to work with the given lighting conditions on location and react to the situation.

The EOS 5D Mark IV’s AF system consists of 61 AF points that cover a wide area of the frame in a grid pattern. This simplifies focus tracking on fast-moving faces or changing colours. The 61 AF points – including 41 cross-type sensors – not only cover a large area of the sensor. They enable the use of autofocus with the optical viewfinder even at -3 EV (which is roughly equivalent to moonlight) – and even down to -4 EV when the camera is in Live View mode. When using extenders on all telephoto lenses, the EOS 5D Mark IV focuses very precisely up to f/8 with all 61 AF points and 21 cross-type sensors. The high-resolution 3.2-inch LCD screen offers intuitive touchscreen control of the entire menu. This has been combined with a new AF area selector switch, which allows for quick switching of the active AF point/area.

For precise exposure, subject recognition and tracking, the camera utilises a 150,000-pixel exposure metering sensor (IR and RGB), whose data is processed by a dedicated DIGIC 6 processor. 

Speed is everything

The EOS 5D Mark IV has been designed to meet the highest demands for speed, ensuring that no fleeting moment is lost. Special technologies for high-speed reading of DIGIC 6+ data enable rapid continuous shooting at up to seven frames per second at full resolution with AF/AE tracking. In such a sequence, up to 21 RAW files or an unlimited number of JPEGs can be captured. For situations where discretion is key – such as when shooting breaking news or animals in their natural habitat – the camera offers ‘Silent Shooting’ and ‘Silent Continuous Shooting’ modes, which reduce shooting noise to a minimum. 

The big leap to 4K video recording

With the EOS 5D Mark IV, 4K video is available to all those who wish to tell their stories through moving images. With DCI 4K (4,096 x 2,160 pixels) at 30/25/24 frames per second, the camera once again demonstrates its versatility: Still images of 8.8 megapixels each can be extracted directly from the 4K videos within the camera – an ideal option when you need both film and photos. As streaming services increasingly demand content recorded using the latest technologies on the market, high recording quality is more important than ever. The EOS 5D Mark IV offers the full range of features for this: 4K, 120 frames per second in HD, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, time-lapse videos and a new HDR Movie mode.

Advanced control options and connectivity

With its numerous new and improved features, the EOS 5D Mark IV offers unique flexibility and extensive connectivity. The built-in Wi-Fi enables secure data transfer (FTPS/FTP) as well as remote control of the camera via a mobile device on which the Canon Camera Connect app is installed. In addition, NFC ensures straightforward connection with compatible mobile devices. GPS adds location data to the EXIF image data, making it easier to organise your shots. For the first time, IPTC data – which includes shooting information, for example – can also be automatically embedded in the image data.

Thanks to improved protection against dust and splashes, the camera is ideal for photographers or photojournalists working in extreme environmental conditions.
