Mastering Your Canon EOS R5 C: Full Video Menu Walkthrough | Cinema Operating System

[@FernwehChronicles]

Just got the R5 C in the mail and needed a few pointers coming from the R5 and Blackmagic cams. Thanks for the walk-through! Danke 🙏🏻

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thank you for checking in. The R5 C is truly wonderful - I just had to ship mine back to CPS because of some auto focus issues but apparently that only affects a few of people. I just checked your channel and that looks wonderful. You got some incredible adventures on there and the camera work and editing is phenomenal. Really love it.

[@mslamz]

Thanks for the aspect ratio tutorial!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ntouched]

Thanks so much for all your ideas and tips! Expecting my R5 C this week!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

That sounds awesome. I just got mine back from the Auto Focus Repairs! It's an incredible camera and so much fun to shoot with.

[@jimmystewartuk]

Thanks for the in-depth menu walkthrough. I just got my R5C and through your video I've customised my camera to my liking and am ready to shoot!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

That's awesome. Glad my video was helpful for you.

[@jimmystewartuk]

@@ChrisSpiegl cheers! Although I have used canon cinema cameras before with hire, now that I actually own one, this was the most in-depth I’ve gone with customising my settings and understanding it all. So thanks again for making it very easy to understand 🙌🏼

[@JuanchoCastilla]

Thank you for this great walktrough

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carloscast1]

Excellent info. I had to view your video four times before I finally felt comfortable with the camera. Thank you.

[@epicplayer8813]

hello , can i turn off c-log in r5c an record with camera colors like r5 with not c-log?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Yes, that is absolutely possible. C-Log is not mandatory and you can use standard picture profiles.

[@carlmantosvisuals]

Thank You. Does the 4k 120fps have autofocus?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Yes, it does. But no tracking features like Eye Detect / Face Detect. Just simple area focusing.

[@DTUFINOPhotography]

I'm at a complete loss, where is the touch screen setup? for some reason my touch focus setup is off, i want to turn it back on.

[@abas1r]

Fantastic work, just got my R5C today and this was invaluable 🙏🏾

[@rojoneutro]

best guide menu video ! thank you very much !

[@Vinyasphoto]

thanks for your video! I have some questions, because in fast slow function it does not let me focus on the face or follow up, is it normal?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Yes, fast&slow does not allow for face tracking and only supports the center point or something.

[@mavs8888]

Thank you/Danke schön! I thought I knew my camera :) but one is never too old to learn :) Take care!!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[@fabioconti8929]

hi from Fabio from Italy. I have a canon R5C and a Ninja V+. The Ninja connected authorized and configured in prores configures me only the 4k p 25 while in prores raw the 5.9 k p25 is configured in super 35 mm format not full but cropped set on the camera.I have a regular external power bank and a 4k cable. I can't understand the problem. Also What are the best recording formats: On Ninja monitor or on R5C camera?Thanks for the replies

[@danielbranam8503]

Good run through of the menus.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@VardanHarutyunyan93]

Hi thanks for great content. I just bought R5C but can't find auto power off function. Can you help me to find that. In photo mode it exists but in video mode it doesn't

[@ChrisSpiegl]

There is no auto power off in the video mode of the R5 C.

[@VardanHarutyunyan93]

@@ChrisSpiegl omg so bad😔 It is so useful tool

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@VardanHarutyunyan93 I am equally as annoyed. But I am learning. The R5 C is a cinema first camera and in that context you do not want the camera to auto shut off at any moment to be ready at all times and also to have the same sensor performance no matter what.

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

how do you disable the sensor on EVF, keeps turning my LCD screen off...

[@ChrisSpiegl]

That's the setting "LCD/VF Output". You can switch between 4 different modes 2 of which are: LCD only and VF only. The setting is visible at 14:40 in this video at the bottom.

[@4videoexpressions]

Do you still love the R5c? I think I'm just going to pick up the EOS R5

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Depends, what you want to do with it. But for someone doing general purpose photo & video, I'd go with the R5 Mark II nowadays.

[@Blazs0]

Maybe you can record the color bars for a moment to act as a broadcast hardware calibration check...

[@garybarnett893]

Chris, great video. I’m trying to decide whether to invest in the R5C. I have 2 questions you might be able to help with. There are occasions where I want to use the R5C to stream to my Mac Studio using the HDMI output into my Elgato Cam Link 4K capture device. Can you confirm the the R5C will output clean HDMI suitable to stream or use as a webcam? If so, any special setting I should be aware of? And, I assume I don’t need to be recording in order to stream out the HDMI port? Secondly, do you have any experience of using the Canon PD-E1 to power the R5C during longer studio shoots? The user manual indicates that the Canon PD-E1 can be used to charge the battery when camera power is off, and power the camera when the power is on. Can you confirm that this works? Thanks!

[@hamoedikasem6984]

thank you so much!!!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You're welcome!

[@bobbleczar]

Any chance this can output 16:9 UHD 30FPS while recording 16:9 8K 60FPS?

[@GirliforniaMagazine]

I own the canon r5c. in cinema mode 59,94Hz I get the warning invalid operation when I press the record(10) button. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong or missing as canon itself isn't helping me out?

[@alejandrorumolino]

thanks for the video-) there are no risks with the mac usb adapter? they are 87w against 30w of USB PD-E1

[@ChrisSpiegl]

If the adapter can do Powerdelivery you can use it since the devices will communicate and the camera will draw however much it needs. The same way I can use the 87+ watt power adapter with my partners 30w MacBook Air or charge my iPhone with the 87w adapter.

[@alejandrorumolino]

@@ChrisSpiegl yes thanks, I'm using it very well-), I'm also going to try an Anker power bank, but the model A1277 26800mAh/96Wh, do you know if it's okay? everyone talks about the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD 45 W, thanks for your answer and all the information -) *sorry for the translated English -/ greetings from Paris

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@alejandrorumolino No worries about your english, I am non native as well. And in regards to the power bank: I am using a Zendure 100w power bank and it works perfectly with the R5C. So both these Anker models should be working 👍.

[@alejandrorumolino]

@@ChrisSpiegl ah ok thank you very much-) I thought that maybe 96w could damage something, surely it would have 10 times the capacity of the battery-) and do you know why the only one that Canon homologates is the PD 45w?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@alejandrorumolino I guess Canon is showing the one which it starts working with. You have to have at least a 45w power deliver (though I also have used a 30w power delivery brick).

[@jijic.7204]

Thank you! Where I can find the 120 fps in 4K on the R5C?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You have to switch from "Normal Recording" into "Slow & Fast". Then you can set the Frame Rate to 120fps when the resolution is set to 4k.

[@picturebilly]

Thank you for doing this!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You’re welcome. 👍

[@JonassaintStudios]

Great video!! Thank you

[@RossJukesPhotography]

Thank you so much for this clear, well paced video - so much useful information :)

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@thexjuic3]

How do you get the red record button on the R5c to also record on the Atomos ninja v?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I have not tried this but usually it is somewhere in the HDMI settings that is sends the Record Signal to the recorder via HDMI.

[@realcinematographer]

Great! Can i increase the interface on this camera?) is really very small in video mode😬

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Not that I am aware

[@DanielePauletto]

Hi! Great video! I just want to ask how actually to shoot in 4k 120. I can do anything, from 8k 60 to raw, but when I set slow and fast motion setting to 120 (or 100 for PAL) the record frames is 50p, no matter what I set. And in premiere I see the clip at 50, not more. Can you help me?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

This is because the camera records it into a 60/50/30/24p file and the 120fps are slowed down for your in the camera already to fit that frame per second file. Basically: If you set the camera to 50fps and then set slow/fast to 120 The camera records 120fps for let's say 30 seconds. Then you end up with a 50fps file which is 60 seconds long. In the timeline you see a 60 second long 50fps file. But it's already half the speed. Then you can slow it down another 50% and end up with 120 fps and 120 seconds.

[@DanielePauletto]

@@ChrisSpiegl thank you! I had this figured out but thank you. The thing is that no one tell that you don't have to slow it down in post like the "old method" of old cameras. ciao!

[@kamaravideo]

Does any body know which gimbal/stabiliser is best for the R5 C? thank you

[@ChrisSpiegl]

"Best" is a hard word to define in this regard. I am using the Zhiyun Tech Weebill 2 Pro and it works so far.

[@kamaravideo]

@@ChrisSpiegl Thanks I agree, I use a crane 2 and it's a bit tight for space especially using the EF adaptor, cheers

[@ecando54]

I have the R5 and I love the quick, full auto mode. I'm really disappointed that the R5C doesn't really have that option. While I know manual is what professionals use, sometimes, in quick shooting, that full auto is a lifesaver.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I 100% agree.

[@dustmicks1]

I know this video didn’t address the issue of your old video. But I was curious how much it costed you to fix the camera you accidentally fried? I think I just fried my r6 :(

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You’re taking about my EOS R from about 1.5 years ago? I think it cost around 300€ with shipping and all.

[@dustmicks1]

@@ChrisSpiegl I accidentally plugged mine into the v mount battery instead of the v mount at 8v. I think the battery is 14v :( why can’t they put fail safes in the cameras lol

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@dustmicks1 Yea, that'd be helpful if the dummy battery would just act as a fail save for example. However, the best at this point would be to use USB-PD instead of dummy batteries.

[@dustmicks1]

@@ChrisSpiegl thank you for the response. I can just use a power bank to power my canon r6? What cable and power bank would you recommend? Would like to be able to have a power bank that would last a whole a day of shooting. Thanks again

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@dustmicks1 I'm pretty sure that is possible since the R5 and R6 (and does 100% work on the R5 C which I own). So yes, you can just use a USB-C power bank to power the camera. I think there needs to be a battery in the camera but it does get powered indefinitely via USB-PD.

[@klugblogger-mitsharyreeves8229]

Danke für den Überblick, hab einiges anpassen können, da ich die C70 habe... ich glaube das bunte Bild steht für das Tesbild falls man einen Livestream macht... ist allerdings nur eine Vermutung ;D

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar. Ich glaube auch, dass dieses bunten Streifen hauptsächlich als Testbild genutzt wird.

[@neoprodisrael]

I didnt find horizon level

[@ChrisSpiegl]

That's here: MENU > Monitoring Setup > Custom Display 1 > Level > Desired Option

[@neoprodisrael]

thx a lot

[@thomaschrisohoidis7285]

Great review ! I think Canon didnt handle it the right way , conc the users manual - for such an expensive hybrid cam and complicated as well - which simply does not exist when you buy the camera! Therefore , your review looks so useful for us, the users! I noticed that your video menu have the same letters /signs size as the photo menu of the camera! Normally, the video menu has smaller letters size , that's what I saw when I open my new R5c , can you please let me know how you adjust this ? it si much more convinient with bid letters and signs , thnk you !

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I don't think I changed anything in regards to the letters. But if I did I am sure you can find the menu point somewhere on the OSC settings or something.

[@worldscalephotography]

The audio menu is really annoying, why can't you adjust the internal microphones?? :/ it ruined so many videos for me

[@sanjayfgupta2167]

Well. You mostly read out the menu. No insights as such.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Noted. Luckily others found it very useful.
