About this Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Canon EOS R5 C. Please read this manual carefully before you use the camera
and retain it for future reference. Should the camera fail to operate correctly, refer to Troubleshooting (A 212).
Before Using the Camera
• Before making important recordings for the first time, make test recordings using the video configuration(s)
you plan to use to check that the camera operates correctly. Should it fail to operate correctly, refer to
Troubleshooting (A 212).
• Copyright notice: Unauthorized recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of copyright
owners and be contrary to copyright laws.
• Notes on privacy and publicity rights regarding the use of video: When using the camera, exercise proper
caution in order to protect privacy and avoid any violation of publicity rights.
• About the LCD screen, viewfinder and LCD panel: The screen is produced using extremely high-precision
manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Very rarely, pixels
may misfire or light up permanently. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
• About CFexpress cards: CFexpress cards can become hot due to the high operating temperature inside the
camera. Removing a CFexpress card immediately after using it for recording may cause burns or cause you
to drop the card, resulting in damage to the card.
• About the access indicator: Observe the following precautions while an access indicator (A 34) is illuminated
or flashing in red. Failing to do so may result in permanent data loss.
- Do not turn off the camera and do not remove the battery or other power source.
- Do not open the card compartment cover.
• The camera has two operation modes: PHOTO mode and VIDEO mode.
Set the power switch to PHOTO to set the camera to PHOTO mode, or to VIDEO to set the camera to
VIDEO mode. Software compatible with either PHOTO mode or VIDEO mode can only be used when the
camera is set to the corresponding mode, so switching the camera's operation mode when using said
software will end the connection to the camera.
