The EOS 5D Mark IV camera builds on the powerful legacy of the 5D series, offering amazing refinements in image quality, performance and versatility. Canon's commitment to imaging excellence is the soul of the EOS 5D Mark IV. Wedding and portrait photographers, nature and landscape shooters, as well as creative videographers will appreciate the brilliance and power that the EOS 5D Mark IV delivers. Superb image quality is achieved with Canon's all-new 30.4 Megapixel full-frame sensor, and highly-detailed 4K video is captured with ease. Focus accuracy has been improved with a refined 61-point AF system and Canon's revolutionary Dual Pixel CMOS AF for quick, smooth AF for both video and Live View shooting. Fast operation is enhanced with Canon's DIGIC 6+ Image Processor, which provides continuous shooting at up to 7.0 fps*. Built-in Wi-Fi®**, GPS*** and an easy-to-navigate touch-panel LCD allow the camera to become an extension of you. When quality matters, the EOS 5D Mark IV helps deliver results to inspire even the most discerning imagemaker.
New 30.4
Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor for versatile shooting in nearly any light,
with ISO range 100-32000; expandable up to 50-102400 (equivalent ISO).
The EOS 5D Mark IV camera boasts a full-frame, high-speed CMOS sensor that's
ideal for a broad range of applications with its remarkable high-resolution
abilities. Measuring approximately 36.0mm x 24.0mm, the same size and ratio as
a 35mm film frame, it records 30.4 effective Megapixels at normal ISOs of up to
32000. It also captures incredible still and 4K video clips suitable for
significant post-processing, retouching and cropping.
ISO 100-32000 (expandable to 50-102400)
Featuring an ISO range of 100-32000 (expandable to 50-102400), the EOS 5D Mark
IV camera is incredibly well-suited for low-light photography. Its sensor has
an improved S/N ratio plus an improved noise-processing algorithm to help
deliver high-level light sensitivity along with its high resolution, with
virtually no compromise in image quality. Whether working in a dimly lit
auditorium, trying to capture the action at night, photographing at the fastest
possible shutter speed or simply suppressing camera shake blur, the EOS 5D Mark
IV has an extended ISO range that contributes to its ability to excel in nearly
every situation it faces.
4K Motion JPEG video (DCI cinema-type 4096 x 2160) at 30p or 24p; in-camera
still frame grab* of 4K 8.8-Megapixel images; multiple video options include
Full HD up to 60p, and HD up to 120p.
The EOS 5D Mark IV is a remarkably capable video camera. Thanks to its
impressive CMOS sensor and its high-speed DIGIC 6+ Image Processor, it can
transition from taking still photographs to shooting videos in a near instant,
capturing Digital Cinema (DCI) standard 4K (Motion JPEG) videos of 4096 x 2160
pixels at up to 30 or 24 fps. Adding to its versatility, it also supports the
4K broadcasting standard of 3840 x 2160 pixels with slight trimming on the left
and right sides.
Superb Dual Pixel CMOS AF for responsive and smooth AF during video or Live
View shooting; LCD monitor has full touch-screen interface, including selection
of AF area.
Adding to its powerful and portable design, the EOS 5D Mark IV camera utilizes
Canon's smooth, fast and intelligent Dual Pixel CMOS AF. Featuring two
photodiodes per pixel and each pixel capable of phase-difference detection autofocus,
the CMOS sensor can deliver fast and accurate AF throughout approximately 80%
of the image plane. Able to detect shifts in movement at the pixel level, Dual
Pixel CMOS AF enables continuous automatic AF and AF tracking that enhances
overall camera operation for sharp still images and smooth, accurate focus
transitions in movies.
