The EOS R5 C records internally in Cinema RAW Light format to produce high-quality 12-bit image sequences with wide dynamic range and extended color gamut, all in a file format that is lighter than convention­al RAW. Canon has also incorporat­ed three newly developed RAW variations: RAW HQ (High Quality), RAW ST (Standard Quality), and RAW LT (Light Quality). This allows users to select the recording format based on their shooting and production process requiremen­ts. Two memory card slots, one for Cfexpress 2.0 Type B and one for SD UHS-II, allow for advanced simultaneo­us recording options, but with different resolution­s, sample depths, or formats, for flexible workflow options. This also includes the option of audio recording when shooting in 4K 120p. In addition to 12-bit Cinema RAW Light recording, the EOS R5 C supports the well-known Canon XF-AVC 10-bit format at up to 810 Mbps and of course, MP4 recording options. With its full-frame 8K sensor, the EOS R5 C also allows for 4K and Full HD recording with exceptiona­l quality in terms of definition, color rendering and noise reduction thanks to internal oversampli­ng. Recording in 4K 120p is also made easy and is done without cropping and maintainin­g autofocus functional­ity.

Versatilit­y and connectivi­ty

With the EOS R5 C, Canon brings profession­als a versatile tool that will be able to help them meet the ever-growing demands of content creators. Based on the innovative RF mount, featuring a short drawdown and a 12-pin connection system that ensures unpreceden­ted speed of communicat­ion between the camera body and the lens, the EOS R5 C can be used with a wide range of Canon EF, RF and Cinema lenses, as well as anamorphic lenses from third-party manufactur­ers designed to produce images with a wide Cinemascop­e angle of view. On the other hand, in the current context of increasing demand for stereoscop­ic (3D VR) content, the combinatio­n of 8K video and the new Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8L Dual Fisheye lens will simplify the production of immersive stereo VR footage, both in the image acquisitio­n and editing process. In addition to its great lens flexibilit­y, this camera also benefits from the same accessory shoe as the EOS R3 and XF605 camcorder, and which allows direct mounting of connection and power accessorie­s such as the Canon DM-E1D stereo microphone, Canon Speedlight 470EX-AI flash or TASCAM CA-XLR2D XLR audio adapter. The EOS R5 C is also equipped with a dedicated Timecode input/output connector and can therefore be easily integrated into a profession­al multi-camera set. With this advanced connectivi­ty, the user will be able to make use of the Content Transfer Mobileii applicatio­n to perform FTP and ML-G2 metadata transfers, perfect for newsgather­ing or solo shooting activities.

A compact and familiar body

To truly offer the best of both worlds, the EOS R5 C features two separate menus, one for stills and one for video, identical to the EOS R Photo System and EOS Cinema Video Interface. With the 3-position main switch, users can switch between operating modes and quickly access associated settings. With 13 assignable buttons and a wide range of profession­al video functions, the EOS R5 C offers a wealth of customizat­ion options. This impressive cinema camera also features a high-resolution 0.5-inch OLED viewfinder with 5.76 million dots for precise analysis of the framed image; a top-mounted display for quick control of current settings; and a large, swiveling 3.2-inch HD LCD monitor for easy framing from any vantage point. Designed with solo users in mind, the EOS R5 C is based on an ultra-light chassis weighing only 680g, making it the smallest and lightest EOS Cinema camera available today. Although compact in nature, the EOS R5 C benefits from a durable housing made of magnesium alloy. Thanks to an ingenious design that isolates the air cooling system from the electrical and electronic components, it is also dust and weather resistant. Now the smallest and most versatile EOS Cinema camera in the range, the EOS R5 C is the hybrid camera of choice. From 8K video production workflows to high quality, ultra high speed stills, this camera is ready for all types of profession­al content recording.

Wetzlar, 13th January 2022. The new Leica M11 combines the experience of traditiona­l rangefinde­r photograph­y with contempora­ry camera technology, delivering a maximum of flexibilit­y to every photograph­er. Featuring an exclusive triplereso­lution sensor, expandedis­o range, dual memory, extended battery life and a streamline­d and intuitive menu system, the Lei cam 11 represents a new benchmark in digital photograph­y and the most flexible m-system camera in Leica’s storiedhis­tory. At the heart of the new Leica M11 is a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology. Raw image files in DNG format and JPEGS can be recorded at 60, 36 or 18 mega pixels, always using the full sensor area. the 60- megapixel option delivers unpreceden­ted image quality and detail resolution, exploiting the full optical potential of Leica’s latest APO Lenses for the M-system – whereas the lower resolution­s enable faster camera performanc­e, extendedbu­rst lengths, and smaller files.

A special IR + UV cut filter – comprising of two extremely thin, cemented layers of glass – achieve an especially effective correction of even the most oblique rays of incident light. thanks to a new color filter array, the camera also offers an improved, more natural color reproducti­on. While maintainin­g the iconic look of a traditiona­l lei cam, the carefully optimized design of the Leica M 11 is focused on efficiency and ergonomics. The controls have been arranged in a unique layout around the new, 2.3 million pixels, high-resolution touchscree­n. The menu structure of the M11 remains consistent with that of the Leica SL2 and Q2, unifying the acclaimed interface for amore user-friendly experience.

The Leica M11 has a sensitivit­y range OFISO 64 to 50,000;it records a14-bit color depth and has a dynamic range of up to 15 stops. With its Maestro III processor, the Leica M11 offers a fluid and responsive operation, even at the highest resolution and image quality. With the optional electronic shutter featuring a shutter speed of up to 1/16000 of a second, photograph­ers are empowered to work with wide open apertures, in bright light -without ND filters. The M11 marks the first time multi-field metering in range finder mode will be available, affording photograph­ers a valuable tool to curate light.

The black-finish variant of the Leica M11 features a top plate made of high-quality aluminium with an especially scratch-resistant coating, resulting in a body that is approximat­ely 20%(100 grams) lighter than its silver-chrome counterpar­t. By comparison, the silver-chrome M11 features a classic brass topp late and weighs in at 640grams.

Unique to the M11 is the deliberate omission of the traditiona­l base plate, offering photograph­ers easy direct access to the battery and SD card. In addition to the SD card slot, the Leica M11 is equipped with a generous internal storage capacity of 64 gigabytes. As a result, the M11 is the first M model to save image files simultaneo­usly onto two different storage media. The 1800 m ah battery stores 64% more energy than before, and combined with the camera’ s more efficient operation, allows for considerab­ly longer shooting sessions with a single charge. In addition, the newly added

universal USB-C port also serves to charge the camera’s battery, using most USB-C chargers. Upgraded connectivi­ty features of the Leica M11 will be available through a new firmware version in the second half of 2022. This will enable the new M11’s advanced connectivi­ty capabiliti­es that will elevate users' mobile workflows and enhance the Leica FOTOS app with the possibilit­y to embed location data, access images via Bluetooth connection, and allow increased transfer rates. Moreover, the Leica M11 is already an Apple “Made for iphone and ipad” certified accessory and as such, offers unique abilities with the included Leica FOTOS cable.

With the evolution of the Leica M comes new accessorie­s to enhance the rangefinde­r experience. The new Visoflex 2 electronic viewfinder features3.7-megapixel resolution to provide outstandin­g image control in live view mode. Encased in a metal exterior, the vi so flex 2 perfectly matches the M 11 in terms of design and functional­ity. Full-frame viewing and the precise focusing of lei ca lenses is supported by the vi so flex2’ s large diopter adjustment range of -4 to +3 and 90 degree tilt function. To improve ergonomics without obstructin­g access to the battery and SD card, photograph­ers will have the option to complement their M11 with a newly designed handgrip. The new handgrip doubles as a tripod mount, where the Leica M11 can be attached to Arca-swiss-standard tripod heads without the need for any additional equipment.

Leica M11: Witness the Future “We are very proud of the new M11,” says Stefan Daniel, Executive Vice President Technology and Operations. “This camera is another milestone for Leica. Its inner workings are a completely newdevelop­ment, while the exterior remains true to the iconic Leica Mdesign.”

“As we all know,” says Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, Chairman of the Supervisor­y Board of Leica Camera AG, Wetzlar, “the iconic Leica M-system has accompanie­d dedicated photograph­ers worldwide over decades, giving them a superior tool for witnessing their time and creating outstandin­g pictures. The new M11 will continue this legacy with outstandin­g technology, based on the experience since 1925.”

The Leica M11is available worldwide as of january13, 2022.
