Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Body

Pursue Perfection

Designed to perform in every situation, the EOS 5D Mark IV is beautifully engineered and a thoroughly accomplished all-rounder.

Because the devil is in the detail

From the moment light passes through the lens, the EOS 5D Mark IV captures every nuance, every colour, every detail. Once again Canon has brought finer dimensions in detail thanks to a new sensor capable of extraordinary clarity. See your world like never before.

Capture detail.
Capture everything

A 30.4 Megapixel CMOS sensor delivers images that are packed with detail and low in noise, even in bright highlight and dark shadow areas. A finer resolution means nothing is lost, allowing you the freedom to crop in for the perfect shot and retain the quality.

Revisit and refine

Each of the EOS 5D Mark IV’s 30-million pixels is made up of two photodiodes, which can be used together or individually. This technology enables the creation of Dual Pixel RAW (DPRAW) files, which contain a pair of images shot from two very slightly different points of view. When processed using Digital Photo Professional software, DPRAW files allow photographers to perform image adjustments to keep sharpness on the area intended.

Exceptional low
light capture

Low light performance is improved at every ISO setting, with much reduced digital noise and a maximum sensitivity of ISO 32,000 (expandable to ISO 102,400). Be confident of superb image quality even when shooting in poor light.

Next level
image processing

Built-in Lens Aberration Correction improves lens performance by compensating for factors like diffraction, distortion and chromatic aberrations to produce an image which is visibly superior.

Digital Lens Optimizer

A Digital Lens Optimizer adds another layer of correction, tackling even more optical phenomena, including the effect of the camera’s optical low-pass filter. The result: optimised performance and incredible image quality.

Clarity, contrast and colour

The 5D Mark IV features a choice of Auto White Balance (AWB) settings that take a different approach to artificial light. ‘Ambience Priority’ aims to retain some of the warm colour tones from artificial light sources in order to preserve some of the atmosphere of a scene, while ‘White Priority’ eliminates most of the warmth from tungsten lighting and tries to give colour-neutral images where possible.

Every detail
carefully captured

The ‘Fine Detail’ Picture Style has been included in the 5D Mark IV to maximise the amount of detail captured by the cameras’ 30.4 Megapixel sensor. This setting prioritises gradation of tones and emphasises fine detail. 

Fine Detail Picture Style features three adjustable sharpening parameters, similar to those found in the Unsharp Mask filter in Adobe Photoshop and Canon’s DPP software.

Precision as standard

In the blink of an eye

Stay focused on the action, with an expanded 61-point AF system that tracks even the most erratic of subjects. In the EOS 5D Mark IV, the 61 AF points¹ have been given a wider area in which to operate – an 8 percent more vertical expansion in the central area, and 24 percent more vertical expansion in the peripheral area – giving greater freedom in where subjects can be placed when composing.

Fast, continuous
focusing, even
in low light

With a highly-sensitive AF sensor the focus performance on the EOS 5D Mark IV is assured, even down to light levels as low as EV-3². This is further improved to EV-4³ when shooting in Live View with Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

Superior AF accuracy,
even with long lenses

If you are a sports or wildlife photographer, you will often have to use super telephoto lenses with extenders to get closer to your subjects. With a maximum of 61 points with 21 cross-AF type points at f/8¹, high precision focusing is made that much easier.

150K metering sensor

The EOS 5D Mark IV uses a dedicated 150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor to carry out highly accurate exposure metering. This sensor also works in conjunction with the camera’s AF system to help detect and track coloured objects and perform face recognition.

Track your subjects with
even greater accuracy

The EOS 5D Mark IV features the EOS iTR AF system, which greatly enhances the subject tracking performance. Customise the tracking based on your needs with different modes for when focusing and tracking a face or a different subject.

Choose the focus
performance to
match your subject

Canon’s AI servo AF III features an AF algorithm that, improves the tracking sensitivity in scenes where subject movements may occur suddenly.

Six customisable AF Case study settings help you choose the most appropriate option for your subject such as Tracking Sensitivity, Acceleration/Deceleration tracking and AF Point Auto Switching.

Capture the moment under any artificial light source

The EOS 5D Mark IV detects flicker frequency of light sources and adapts the shooting timings to capture the image near peak brightness to reduce flicker effects. This function works with a flicker frequency of 100Hz and 120Hz and has an improved algorithm to prevent the incorrect detection of flickering light.

Engineered for performance

A processor for
faster performance

At the heart of the EOS 5D Mark IV is a fast DIGIC 6+ processor that controls every aspect of the camera’s behaviour, including turning raw sensor data into high quality image files that are rich in detail and low in noise, with accurate colours and skin tones.

Capture every
moment, frame
by frame

Engineered from the ground up for performance, the EOS 5D Mark IV can shoot continuously at 7fps¹ with full AF and autoexposure, capturing up to 21 RAW images or unlimited JPEGs in a single burst². You’ll always be ready for the next frame. In Live View mode continuous shooting at 4.3 fps with AF tracking is possible. You’ll always be ready for the next frame.

Sharp and precise
LCD touchscreen

A high-resolution 3.2-inch LCD screen with intuitive touch-screen controls makes shooting with the EOS 5D Mark IV a pleasure. Tap to choose menu commands and swipe back and forth when reviewing images. Four colour tone options enable you to clearly use the screen at any time, day or night.

Shoot in silence,
remain discreet

Select silent shooting mode on the EOS 5D Mark IV to keep shutter noise to a minimum. Special damping allows the camera to operate silently in even the quietest environments.

Mirror Vibration Control System

Camera shake or mirror bounce vibration can cause blur, which is why Canon developed a Mirror Vibration Control System to minimise this blur and deliver sharp images with suppressed noise levels; perfect for shooting discreetely.

View, compose and
shoot in total clarity

The Intelligent Viewfinder II with shooting information such as dual axis electronic level, offers a cleaner, brighter view of the scene through the lens with a nearly 100 percent view. With shooting information carefully arranged to facilitate easy and accurate composition, the display can be customised to suit the needs of the photographer.

Custom Quick
Control Screen

Every photographer is unique and works in different ways. Because of this Canon engineers have made it possible to change the type, size and position of icons on the camera’s Custom Quick Control screen quickly and easily, so favourite settings can be found without fuss.

Durability and
reliability

The EOS 5D Mark IV features resilient weatherproofing³ and a tough magnesium-alloy construction, giving you the confidence to keep shooting even when conditions worsen. Lighter than the EOS 5D Mark III, the EOS 5D Mark IV has been engineered for a reliable shooting performance and for longer.

Step up to cinematic 4K

Crystal clear clarity

Record your movie moments using the power of EOS 5D Mark IV’s incredible sensor to add detail and extra refinement to every scene. With options to record in high-resolution 4K¹ as well as Full HD for frame rate options including 60p slow motion, the world of DSLR filmmaking just got better.

Capture the perfect
still from any frame

A feature taken from the EOS-1D X Mark II, EOS 5D Mark IV users can shoot 4K movies and save any frame as a beautifully detailed 8.8-megapixel still image straight to memory card as a JPEG file.

High frame rate

Faster frame rates bring new and exciting opportunities to immerse your audience into the moment. An incredible 120fps HD video capability captures even the fastest subject in glorious detail.

Focus like a pro

The EOS 5D Mark IV features Dual Pixel CMOS AF, one of the most important feature upgrades over the EOS 5D Mark III. Enabling smooth and precise pull focus transitions in any resolution from 4K to Full HD, just touch on the LCD the points you wish to focus to and from and let the camera do the rest.

Retain every detail in HDR Movie

By alternating between normal and under-exposed frames, HDR movie mode can compress the brightest parts of a scene and retain more highlight detail – thus delivering movies with a wide dynamic range.

Slow the pace, record the extraordinary

Timer shooting functions on the EOS 5D Mark IV allow timelapse recording of events in extraordinary clarity. Capture up to 3600 still frames for a Full HD movie with a playback time of around 2mins for a dynamic film with a difference.

Microphone
and headphones,
HDMI output

Microphone and headphone sockets let you record the perfect soundtrack to your movies and monitor audio for the perfect level. An HDMI connection delivers full audio and uncompressed Full HD output to external recorders and video monitors.
