Professional 4K movie and image quality

The EOS 5D series has always been lauded for their impeccable video capabilities. The EOS 5D Mark IV takes this to the next level with its ability to shoot Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) 4K movies, providing users a more accessible camera equipped with some of the key features that the flagship EOS-1D X Mark II is well-loved for.

With the EOS 5D Mark IV, users can shoot 4K movies at a smooth frame rate of 30p, with resolutions of up to 4096 x 2160 and an aspect ratio of 17:9 that matches cinema screens. The camera can also shoot in Full HD quality at 60p, and up to 120p for HD quality videos. Footage shot in DCI 4K format can be used for various commercial purposes such as in cinema, or broadcasting. Users will have the flexibility to shoot videos in MOV format for movie productions, or MP4 format which supports a wide range of usage scenarios, including uploading onto social media sites. In addition, the EOS 5D Mark IV is able to transmit, play and channel video files at uncompressed full HD quality when connected through a HDMI interface.

The EOS 5D Mark IV Dual Pixel CMOS AF also allows for the same high-speed, smooth phrase-difference detection AF system found on the EOS-1D X Mark II. Users can focus on subjects with a quick tap on the touch screen LCD, while the Movie Servo AF will automatically track the subject throughout. Focus adjustment speeds and sensitivity can also be customised to suit users’ preferences. Finally, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology coupled with an STM lens allows for smoother focusing during video recording.
