Unfortunately, those results are at the low end for a full-frame camera. Image credit: CineDĬompared to the results for internal C-Log (10.0 stops at SNR = 2 and 10.8 stops at SNR = 1) we do get better readings, but not much. IMATEST results for internal 8K H265 C-Log3 recording at ISO800. Here is the waveform plot of 8K H265 Canon Log 3 at ISO800 – about 11 stops can be identified, as well as a weak 12th stop. Well, C-Log 3 unfortunately is doing the same. The initial C-Log profile showed a strange behavior of “cutting off” the noise floor, hence limiting the dynamic range severely. Dynamic range of internal 8K H265 recording in Canon Log 3 at ISO800Īs mentioned above, since firmware 1.3 the Canon EOS R5 allows also Canon Log 3 as the second LOG profile next to the initially available Canon Log. On the camera, the trigger button is inactive. Unfortunately, external recording is triggered via the Atomos Ninja V+. One more word on overheating: during external 8K ProRes RAW recording via HDMI, if “Standby: Low Res” is set to “On” in the camera menu, no overheating occurs anymore (if it is set to “Off”, the well known overheating limits apply). That’s 3 stops more, see our mini-lab test here. Just to give you our current benchmark for dynamic range, the ARRI Alexa Mini LF (full-frame) camera reads 13.5 stops at SNR = 2 and 14.7 stops at SNR = 1 in ARRIRAW. IMATEST result for external 8K ProRes RAW at ISO800 for the Canon EOS R5. Mainly due to the GPU memory, I recommend the RTX3090 card if you plan to finish in 8K. As soon as you start to add noise reduction, memory usage and load start to skyrocket – which is to be expected. In case you are not familiar with how we test dynamic range of cameras, have a look here.Ī quick word on handling the 8K ProRes RAW files in postproduction: on an 8K timeline in PremierePro our NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090 graphics card which is on loan from NVIDIA (thank you) had no issues handling the files, GPU memory hovered around 10-12 GB, the load around 16%. Dynamic range of external ProRes RAW 8K recording Enough reasons to quickly retest the dynamic range with those new offerings. In the meanwhile, firmware updates have brought Canon Log 3 to the Canon EOS R5 as well as external 8K ProRes RAW recording via HDMI (in 10 bit) using the new Atomos Ninja V+. Back then internal 12 bit Canon 8K RAW as well as internal 10 bit 8K Canon Log (H265) recording was already possible. This is not one of our typical lab tests as the Canon EOS R5 has already received our extended lab test treatment, which you can read up on here. Interested in a quick dynamic range test of the new Canon EOS R5 8K external ProRes RAW recording mode of the Canon EOS R5 using an Atomos Ninja V+? And as a bonus, results for the new Canon Log 3 mode are thrown into this article as well. keyboard_arrow_rightCameras of the Year.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Type.
