Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6: shooting times for video modes

United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, 14th July 2020 – The highly anticipated Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6, two advanced full-frame mirrorless cameras, offer a combination of speed and resolution to set new standards and make mirrorless an ideal choice for everyone from wedding to wildlife photographers.

EOS R5 and EOS R6 offer powerful stills and movie recording capabilities within compact body designs, allowing photographers and filmmakers to push creative boundaries harder and capture action better than ever before. At the highest frame rates and resolutions, heat is generated because of the best-in-class resolution, frame rate and autofocus capability, which can limit continuous recording times.

Several steps have been taken to manage this; magnesium alloy is used in the body to dissipate heat away from internal components and there is an ‘overheat control’ function to reduce heat generation when the camera is in standby. To maintain the level of weather sealing and retain a compact design, an internal fan has not been installed.

Before recording starts, EOS R5 and EOS R6 display an estimate of the recordable time based on the current camera temperature and the set recording mode. Approximate recording and recovery times for 23°C / 73°F environments are available so that customers will be able to decide how to best utilise each mode:

Estimated camera recovery times are indicated below. The time until full record time is available will vary with ambient temperature, continued camera operation and the selected shooting resolution.
