Type | Electronically controlled focal-plane shutter
* When set to [Electronic], the camera makes no mechanical shutter sound. (An electronic shutter sound can be configured in [Beep] and [Volume: Shutter volume]). Note that the camera may make sounds other than the shutter release sound, such as sounds for aperture adjustment or the lens focus drive, or beeps. Moreover, using long exposure noise reduction with shutter speeds of 1 sec. or longer involves a mechanical second-curtain shutter, which produces a mechanical sound. * Bands of light may be displayed and captured images may be affected by light and dark banding when shooting under fluorescent lighting or other flickering light sources with the camera set to [Anti-flicker shoot.: Disable]. |
Shutter Speeds | Mechanical / 1st-curtain Electronic shutter: 1/4000th sec 30 seconds, in 1/3 or 12-step increments Electronic shutter: 1/8000th sec 30 seconds, in 1/3 or 12-step increments (1/16,000th possible, if user-set in Tv or M shooting modes) |
X-sync Speed | Elec. 1st-curtain: 1/200 sec. |
Shutter Release | Soft-touch electromagnetic release |
Self Timer | 10-sec. delay, 2-sec. delay, Continuous |
Image Stabilization | Click here to view the full specifications PDF. * Only during movie recording (OFF during still photo shooting) |
Accessory Shoe | Canon Multi-function accessory shoe Optional Canon AD-E1 adapter required for conventional shoe-mount flashes and accessories |
E-TTL balance | Ambience priority, standard, flash priority |
Flash Exposure Compensation | ±3 stops in 1/3- or 1/2-stop increments |
Continuous flash control | E-TTL each shot / E-TTL 1st shot |
Drive Modes and Continuous Shooting Speed | Click here to view the full specifications PDF. *1: Not available when set to [Dual Pixel RAW: Enable] (low-speed continuous shooting is used). *2: With electronic first-curtain, continuous shooting speed is the same for Highspeed continuous + and High-speed continuous shooting. *3: Slower maximum continuous shooting speed when set to Servo AF with lenses other than those in the lens list attached. For details on lenses that support the indicated continuous shooting speed, refer to the separate lens list. * With electronic first-curtain, maximum continuous shooting speed is (or may be) reduced in flash photography, anti-flicker shooting, or Dual Pixel RAW shooting. * With certain lenses, zooming during continuous shooting with electronic shutter may cause changes in exposure even at the same f/number. For detail on relevant lenses, refer to the separate lens list (and note that even with zoom lenses not listed, sudden zooming may cause flickering or changes in exposure). |
HDR Shooting (HDR PQ) | Disable / Enable * Can be used in conjunction with Auto Lighting Optimizer. |
Still Photo HDR PQ | Click here to view the full specifications PDF. |
Movie HDR PQ | Click here to view the full specifications PDF. |
HDR Mode | Off / Moving sub. / Dynamic range * [Dynamic range]: For each shot, three images are captured consecutively at different exposures (standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure). * [Moving sub.]: Output of a wide gradation without causing motion blur due to image composition by one exposure is possible. * [Moving sub.]: Minimum ISO speed is ISO 800. * When [HDR mode] is set, [Picture Style] options are limited to [Standard] and [Monochrome], and maximum shutter speed is 1/8000 sec. * [Moving sub.]: [Electronic] shutter mode may increase subject distortion (due to rolling shutter). * Shooting JPEG or HEIF images is supported. * Can be set in conjunction with HDR shooting (HDR PQ), which enables shooting with a wide dynamic range ([Dynamic range]: up to approx. 3000 nits; [Moving sub.]: up to approx. 3000 nits). |
Continuous HDR Shooting (still images) | 1 shot only / Every shot * Not available when set to [Moving sub.]. |
Shooting Times | Click here to view the full specifications PDF.
*1: Time available for continuous shooting in 23°C / 73°F environment, from a cold start. If the camera is in LV mode standby before shooting or the ambient temperature is high, the shooting time may be shorter. *2: According to Canon measurement conditions when using UHS-II cards conforming to Canon testing standards. *3: The maximum duration of shooting may be shorter under some circumstances even if recording begins from "cold start," due to a rise in temperature inside the camera caused by pre-shooting camera setting operations or by prolonged use of the Live View mode. When the card is full, movie recording stops automatically. In this case, duration time when you erase the data and restart shooting. |
