The Canon 5D Mark IV is a full-frame SLR camera of absolute world-class. The 5D series has stood for top quality for years and the Mark IV continues this tradition full of dedication. You capture everything with the no less than 30.4 megapixels full-frame CMOS sensor with an ISO sensitivity of up to 32,000 and with the latest DIGIC 6+ image processing processor, which until now only appeared in the larger 1DX II. The DIGIC 6+ ensures that you can capture images with amazing speed and quality: up to 7 frames per second, with full Autofocus tracking! It can maintain this for 21 RAW photos in succession and for JPGs the buffer is even infinite.

The focusing system is a pleasure to use and that is not surprising: it comes from the larger EOS 1DX Mark II. You have 61 AF points at your disposal, of which no less than 41 cross-type and 5 Dual cross-type (horizontal, vertical and diagonal measurement) with which you can focus to -3EV. For videos, the 5D IV has the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which can also be found in Canon’s Pro Video line, the Cinema EOS cameras. Canon also introduces their ‘Dual Pixel RAW’ system to the EOS 5D Mark IV. Because the 2 ions that make up each pixel, which are normally read simultaneously, can also be read separately from each other, you can first fine-tune the RAW photo in the post-processing by, for example, making micro-adjustments to the sharpness, adjust the blur (bokeh) in the foreground or reduce flare.

Wifi & GPS

The 5D Mark IV also makes a big step towards the online corner and comes with very welcome extras that make using it a lot more pleasant. It has a built-in WiFi module with NFC support. With NFC, for example, you can connect your smartphone to the camera super-fast by simply keeping them close together. With the addition of WiFi, you can now easily share your files via FTP or FTPS, via the EOS Utility app, via Upload to Web and you can send photos directly to your printer via Wireless printing. You can also control the 5D Mark IV remotely with the EOS Utility app and it has a built-in GPS module. This allows all photos to be tagged with the precise GPS location, ideal for landscape photography, travel and if you want to share the photos later again including the precise location in online photo albums or on social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, and 500px.

EOS 5D Mk IV & video

With the 5D IV, you have the option to record in 4K video in 30fps. This produces really beautiful images in a sharp 4096×2160 pixel resolution in a MOV / MJPG file with a bit rate of no less than 500 Mbps: no detail is lost anymore! And with the 4K Frame Grab, you can quickly take photos of 1 of the 30 frames available per second. For action images and slomos, you can get along very well by filming with 60fps in Full HD or 120fps in HD quality. Everything will be crystal clear thanks to the aforementioned Dual Pixel CMOS AF focusing system that you can use during filming. You can also use this autofocus well in combination with the touchscreen: press the touchscreen on the subject you want to focus on and the Touch AF ensures smooth, smooth focusing. If you want to record video with an external device you can do this via the uncompressed Full HD HDMI output.
