Hybrid Workflow
Leverage the 5D Mark IV’s dual capabilities. For video, it offers robust DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) up to 30fps (with a 1.74x crop), providing a cinematic aspect ratio. For stills, its 30.4MP sensor delivers highly detailed images.
Smooth Video Autofocus
Utilise Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF for video recording, which provides smooth, precise, and continuous autofocus with facial recognition. This is invaluable for maintaining consistent focus, especially with shallow depth of field and dynamic subjects.
Low-Light Prowess
Take advantage of the full-frame sensor’s low-light performance. With a native ISO range up to 32000 (expandable), you can achieve clean images with minimal noise in challenging lighting conditions, making it suitable for events, interiors, and twilight shooting.
Robustness & Connectivity
Rely on its durable magnesium alloy body and weather sealing for reliability in various environments. Use the built-in Wi-Fi, NFC, and GPS for easy image transfer, remote control, and geotagging.
Secure Storage
Always utilise the dual memory card slots (CompactFlash and SD) for redundant recording (simultaneous backup) or overflow, which is a critical feature for professional reliability and peace of mind on critical shoots.
