Canon 709 / BT.709 Custom Picture Preset
Firmware 1.0.4.1 adds Canon 709 Custom Picture preset which features the same
dynamic range as the Wide DR profile with great contrast. Canon 709 provides a
rich, cinematic look to your footage right out of the box, with little to no
processing or color grading, helping to save time in postproduction.
Enhanced Clear Scan Mode
Firmware Version 1.0.4.1 also includes improvements to Clear Scan shutter mode to help reduce or virtually eliminate the flickering caused by some LED walls.
Improved Face Detection
Firmware Version 1.0.4.1 further improves Face Detection AF in the EOS R5 C by
making it possible to select a subject via the RF lens’ control ring or camera
dial. This allows you to make adjustments without having to change the
position of your hands or take your eyes away from the shot. The firmware also
enables Head Detection allowing the EOS R5 C to detect a subject’s head even
when looking backward, and changes the shape of the AF Frame based on the
subject detected during tracking.
Waveform Monitor / Vector Scope
Firmware Version 1.0.4.1 provides the option to double the size of the on- screen waveform monitor and vector scope. It also adds the ability to adjust opacity (transparency) of these on-screen tools, making it easier to see and adjust exposure while shooting.
Adds Support for Cinema EOS, CINE-SERVO, & RF-S Lenses
With Firmware Version 1.0.4.1, the EOS R5 C now supports communication with
the following lenses when using the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x: CN-E14-35MM
T1.7 L S, CINE-SERVO 15-120mm T2.95-3.95 EF.
The firmware also adds communication for Canon’s RF-S lenses.
2X magnification when shooting in 8K MP4
With Firmware Version 1.0.4.1, the camera will now be able to perform a 2X
magnification when shooting in 8K MP4 format, and let you switch between the
left and right lens via the control dial. This helps you ensure that critical
focus is achieved and that there are no slight discrepancies between the two
individual lenses.
Power Save Mode during 4K shooting
Firmware 1.0.4.1 adds Power Saving Mode that extends recording time during
4K shooting.
