It's a matter of physics. When Canon started confirming the specs of the R5, a full-frame mirrorless camera capable of recording uncropped 8K in 12-bit RAW, what didn't come to fruition until after its release was record limitations due to potential overheating. Canon followed up the initial announcement with a statement that detailed the video formats affected and approximate times for how long it would take for the camera to recover. No Film School was provided with a production model of the R5 from Canon. Below are the results after testing the record limitations due to overheating under different conditions. The tests were conducted in NTSC mode. R5 Record Modes A quick overview for those who don't have the camera in-hand. The R5 has different record modes that include options for Canon's Log gamma curve and HDR PQ for high dynamic range shooting. For the sake of clarity, we're not going to label each record option with its corresponding bit-depth, chroma sub-sampling, and bit rate. Instead, only resolution, codec, and frame rates will be addressed to make it easier to follow along. Just know: Read More...
