Hi I'm Brent Ramsey from Canon
USA. In this video we'll take a
look at some of the video
features with the EOS R
- mainly we'll look at the
'deliverables.' 4K UHD, Full HD,
high speed, HDR movies,
time-lapse - we'll examine
recording options - and also
some of the key features Canon
integrated into the EOS R to
ensure you get solid video
performance and outstanding
image capture. The Canon EOS R
is compact, lightweight, and
it's mirrorless with a fully
adjustable LCD monitor with
touch-screen operation. At the
heart of the EOS R there's a
30.3 MP full frame CMOS sensor;
now that's approximately
36x24mm.
And it uses the latest DIGIC 8
image processor for high
sensitivity performance using
ISOs from 100 to 12,800 for 4K
or 100 to 25,600 for Full HD.
The EOS R records UHD 4K up to
29.97fps, Full HD
up to 59.94fps,
and HD up to
119.9fps for high frame
rate movies. All internal
recordings are to SD cards -
including UHS II - and they use
the MP4 container format with
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression.
The internal recordings are 420
8-bit and employ the REC 709
color space. It has an advanced
Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus system
with new features,
and it allows for 4K
frame grabs and records HDR
movies.
New functions (never
seen before on Canon DSLR
bodies) include distortion
correction during recording, and
Movie digital IS with 5-Axis
Image Stabilization
capabilities. Most resolution
and frame rate choices allow you
to select from two compression
methods: ALL-I (Intraframe) or
IPB (Interframe). These
compression methods use variable
or averaged bit rates -and 4K
UHD bit rates average 480 Mbps
using ALL-I compression, and
120Mbps with IPB. The UHD
4K movie area is 3840x2160,
16x9, and uses essentially the
area within this JPEG still
image, which represents the full
frame sensor of 6720x4480
pixels. 4K is a cropped
shooting. When shooting 4K,
cropping is automatic. However,
Movie cropping is a menu choice
for Full HD and will produce a
Super 35mm-like resolution. It's
also automatic when using EF-S
lenses for any recordings, but
it's a necessity for any lenses
incapable of covering the full
frame sensor. Now, for everyone
that loves color grading and
getting the most dynamic range
out of your camera, the EOS R
comes with Canon Log gamma
pre-installed, and offers an
exciting alternative to the
familiar Canon Picture Styles.
Canon Log, has been a mainstay
of our Cinema EOS cameras from
the beginning. Canon Log reduces
heavy shadows and blown-out
highlights, and provides an even
better source file from which to
perform extensive color grading
in post-production. If
additional color depth or bit
depth is required for your
project, the EOS R is also
capable of outputting an
uncompressed 4K UHD 422 10bit
signal through the HDMI - with
Canon Log gamma applied - and
offers a choice of encoding the
signal in either the REC 709 or
the REC 2020 color space and
along with Color Matrix choices.
Recording 4K output signals
requires a compatible external
4K recorder. If you want, you
can also set the HDMI output to
8bit which is also 4-2-2, and
choose a 4K UHD to 30p or 1080p
Full HD frame rate up to 60p -
both using the REC 709 color
space. The EOS R also records in
a format we call HDR Movie
Shooting.
HDR Movie Shooting is
a cool in-camera recording
feature - it's a multiple
exposure bracketing process
available for 29.97 or 25p IPB
clips
and it offers an expanded
dynamic range and extra
highlight protection. It
produces an edit ready clip in
camera. There are also built-in
intervalometer functions to
record and compile Time-lapse
movies - in either 4K UHD or
Full HD.
They're assembled in-camera,
and produce a finished UHD
or Full HD movie.
The EOS R allows you to pull 4K
frame grabs to produce
high-quality stills from your
footage. Now, let me get into
this a bit further, because I
think it's an especially
important video feature for
still photographers.
Acquiring 4K video
is giving you an extra
still capture option of up to
30fps by letting you
review the 4K video, shuttling
or scrolling through the footage
frame-by-frame and selecting the
exact pay-off frame of the
sequence, and then saving it as
a JPEG still directly to the SD
card. So, you can extract frame
grab stills in-camera. You can
shoot with the clarity of a
super fast shutter speed as well
- up to 1/4000th of a second.
The results are amazing! JPEG
frame grabs are relatively small
files at about 8.3 megapixels,
and are easy and fast to share
right from the camera using the
built in Wi-Fi browser remote
and the Canon Camera Connect
App. One last thing. For a quick
high quality review, you can
display your 4K recordings
directly from the EOS R to a 4K
television over the HDMI, as
long as the device settings are
compatible. Well, that's an
overview of the video recording
features of the EOS R, but
ultimately, you'll just have to
check it out for yourself.
