R5C December Firmware Update (version 1.0.9.1) - R5C Tip 41

[@issacissac9861]

I bought this body specifically for its 8k60 capabilities and couldn’t be happier with this upgrade. 🎉

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate the breakdown

[@bruno.grancho]

we still badly need wifi in cine os + gyrodata for gyroflow for me canon still not listening to users sadly

[@vladimirtalijan]

Yeah, because other brands have exactly the same camera and wifi + gyrodata :)

[@Dwayne_M]

thanks a bunch i love your vids saves so much time understanding the cam !

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

I can confirm, that the RF 70-200mm F/2.8 IS USM Z works fully with the R5 C. I didn't see any issues before I upgraded the firmware, but I think I mostly used it on the R5 Mk II, after I got it.

[@Erickguitar16]

Totally unacceptable this valued youtuber hasnt reached 10k Subcribers.

[@MoralDecay]

Thank you for sharing the update!

[@MissionaryFilms]

10:00 great update overall, not complaining , but 1.5x this would of been a nice feature.

[@itsmariotamez]

Hell yeah! 🤘 Thank you for this!

[@dushyantbhatt9345]

no eye foucs traking in s&f modes ??

[@PizzlesTechTime]

I just updated the firmware and I thought I was getting some feature about the dual pixel AF. I'm pretty sure it was just compatibility added with one of their cinema lens.

[@mladenpopovicphoto]

Thanks for the info!

[@ssrrfff]

I cant believe Bluetooth hasn't been added to the video mode!!

[@hbmorris5558]

I am disappointed that they did not add CLog2 support! Any idea why?

[@PointsInFocus]

Based on the math that I've done, as best as I can figure it's because the R5C's sensor cannot capture enough dynamic range to warrant the decreased precision that comes from the format's log curve (nor can it write 12-bit compressed files either). Remember, all log formats are just lossy compression. They all are designed to cram more dynamic range into fewer bits than a equivalent linear file. The more dynamic range they're designed to compress, the greater the losses in precision in any given stop. Clog2 is designed to encode 18+ stops of DR. The R5C's sensor, due to the 12-bit ADCs in video mode, is hard limited to 12-stops (and lossy files, which are the only ones to use the log curves, are limited to 10-bits). Both clog (15+ stops) and clog3 (16+stops) are more than capable of supporting that, and their increased precision in the mid tones compared to clog2 is better for 10-bit files. So far as I can tell, Clog2 only makes sense on cameras that can actually capture >15 or 16 stops (like the C300-3 or C70) or cameras that can write 12-bit compressed files. Neither of which the R5C can do.

[@MarceloLangame]

​@@PointsInFocus Thank you so much for the explanation.

[@jaylee2656]

this is not the worst,the worst is photo mode can use bluetooth but video mode can not using bluetooth, very anoying while in video mode and can not link with dji 3 pro,f

[@Mr.Zen_73]

R5C will never get clog2 just accept it

[@darrenrowlands7848]

@@jaylee2656I also can’t believe this hasn’t been corrected in 2024. Not enough people talking about this! I also have RS3 and only way still is to use the HDMI splitter, N3 cable or £1000 WiFi grip.

[@ZavenskyStudio]

Thank u so much

[@darrenrowlands7848]

Do you think they’ll ever add uncropped 6K/4K SRAW support, i thought with the fan and processor this might be achievable but not something I hear people talk about very often. Be great to see this in future firmware!

[@PointsInFocus]

I don't think we'll see that in the R5C, and I'm dubious that it would make the cut on an R5C mark 2 (assuming there is one), at least not as long as the cinema camera team is behind the software and overall design or until there's a big change in the post production software environment that can handle aliasing artifacts properly.

[@csound55]

Thanks good info

[@kristijankaradzovski20]

Nice

[@5besakh-rn1qv]

does the af dragging work also in the s&m mode ??

[@PointsInFocus]

Yes, it works anywhere you have either an AF frame or the manual focus guide.

[@lacaraja]

Do you know what can I do? I was updating the camera (battery fully charge) and the camera just turn off and now It does not turn on.

[@PointsInFocus]

Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to have to get in touch with Canon to get that fixed. If it was a failed flash, then you'll likely have to send it in to have it fixed.

[@randycastillo5871]

I think it´s a big mistake when they decide don´t including a 1.5x anamorphic desqueeze on this update 👎

[@osmanlatif9369]

for sure new R5c is on the way. Thats why they to sell all the r5c stocs

[@avx111]

I hope so. But then again the current R5C does everything I need.

[@osmanlatif9369]

Yes, just except for clog2

[@doghot5374]

I can see there are still 3 major updates coming next year, 1.improve 4K60 video quality，as for now the 4k60 is really disappointing compare to 4K30; 2. autofocus upgrade to dualpixel gen2, now that C80 which use a digic7 processor can do it i don't see why R5C can't; 3.gyrodata for post stabilization, blackmagic already update their old models to get it, I don't see why canon can't . Still it's really good canon finally uncrippled 8K60 with a new battery. For WIFI and bluetooth, sadly I think canon won't unlock this because they have a wifi grip to sell.

[@muriloyamanaka]

i just want clog2 is that too much too ask for? Canon sucks
