The Canon has released the 5D Mark IV DSLR with 24-105mm f/4L II Lens which is an outstanding still photography option and an able 4K-capable video machine. It is able to work within a native range of ISO 100-32000, which can then be expanded to an impressive ISO 50-102400, for sharp, low-noise images in a variety of conditions. It also uses a 150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor to evaluate the scene and subjects for accurate exposures under a variety of different lighting conditions.
A new AF area select button is now available as well for near-immediate access to this setting. Video benefits from the addition of Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF to smoothly rack focus during a shot. Shooters can even make use of the 3.2″ 1.62m-dot touchscreen LCD to simply tap to adjust the focus point. Tied into the Dual Pixel sensor architecture is a brand new feature for Canon: Dual Pixel RAW, which allows for fine-tuning of certain image parameters, including bokeh shift, and focuses micro-adjustment after the image is taken.
In line with previous members of the main 5D series, the Mark IV attempts to balance high resolution with low-light performance with a newly developed 30.4MP full-frame CMOS sensor. This sensor also has face detection as well as flicker detection which can ensure proper exposure in less-than-ideal lighting situations. Along with this, the camera offers an improved continuous shooting rate of 7 fps, making it a great option for events and activities. The center point can function down to -3 EV for working in extremely dim lighting.
This offers about 80% coverage of phase-detection autofocus for faster and more accurate focusing in these modes. When recording in-camera, 4K video has 4:2:2 sampling and 8-bit color depth, while Full HD 1080p footage has 4:2:0 sampling. The 4K video recording also avails the ability to take 8.8MP still frame grabs during playback on the rear touchscreen and save them as single images. These adjustments include focus fine-tuning that can help you ever-so-slightly adjust the focus point to bring out extra details, shift bokeh around for improved composition, and reduce the impact of ghosting on your photos. This requires the use of Canon’s Digital Photo Professional 4.5 software.
A large 3.2″ 1.62m-dot Clear View II LCD monitor is available and features an anti-reflective design for bright, vivid image playback and live view shooting, and its touchscreen interface can be used for intuitive touch-to-focus control and adjusting settings in the menus. Dual CompactFlash and SD memory card slots allow you to extend your file-saving capabilities by permitting overflow recording or in-camera file type separation while shooting.
A Mirror Vibration Control System helps to minimize mechanical vibrations in order to better ensure sharpness during long exposures or fast continuous shooting bursts. The camera can handle this process in real time, delivering JPEGs with the corrections already applied.
This kit bundles the camera with the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens, an updated version of one of the most popular zoom lenses ever available in Canon’s lens lineup. Offering an extremely versatile 24-105mm zoom range as well as a constant f/4 maximum aperture and image stabilizer, users can shoot a variety of subjects with ease. This model also features improved peripheral illumination compared to its predecessor.
