10 Things You Didn't Know About the Canon 5D Mark IV

As you may have noticed from our weekly Featured Photographer blog posts, a lot of photographers are big fans of Canon, and especially the 5D Series. We've seen dozens of professional photographers coming in and upgrading their 5D Mark III for the latest and greatest, the Canon 5D Mark IV. Besides all of the obvious reasons why the Mark IV is a superior camera to the Mark III, (such as the LCD touchscreen, built-in wifi, 4K video capability, and higher megapixels) we want to go over a few things you maybe don't already know about the 5D Mark IV.

The company is the world’s best what is 5d movie supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

If you are lucky enough to own the 5D Mark IV, these tips will help you maximize your use of the camera. Some of these functions are hidden deep in the menus, but can drastically improve your shooting process.

1. Auto ISO and Minimum Shutter Speed

The EOS 5D Mark IV allows you to set an Auto ISO and also a lower limit shutter speed to ensure the shutter speed will not become too slow that it induces camera shake or subject blur. This is particularly useful when shooting in P or Av mode where the shutter speeds have free range of adjustment. When setting the Auto ISO speed range, you can also select the minimum shutter speed to ensure it never goes too slow. With this set, you may sometimes find the shutter speed drops below the lower limit you set. This is likely because the correct exposure could not be achieved within the Auto ISO range and with the lowest shutter speed you selected, so the shutter speed will be shifted to adjust. If you have to ensure the shutter speed does not change below a certain level, then you should set it manually instead.

2. Image Size Setting

When setting the image recording size in the Image Quality screen, you may notice the pixel dimensions and also the number of possible shots on the free space of the memory card in the camera. While shooting, and afterwards, you may notice a difference in the pixel dimensions or that you achieved substantially more images than expected. If this is the case, it is likely because you shot with an Aspect Ratio setting that is always less than the full sensor 3:2 ratio that the pixel dimensions and capacity calculations are based on – regardless of the Aspect Ratio settings you may have made elsewhere.

3. Frame Rate

The EOS 5D Mark IV features a maximum frame rate of 7fps. If you need to achieve the fastest frame rate possible but are finding it slower than you expect or need, check your camera settings. Most notably, the Digital Lens Optimizer setting. With this turned to Enable, the frame rate will greatly reduce, especially in conjunction with Dual Pixel RAW. Turning either, or both, of these two settings to OFF will dramatically increase your frame rate.

The EOS 5D Mark IV features up to 5-stops of exposure compensation when shooting, to account for very bright or dark subjects. When you are shooting in Live View or Movie shooting mode though, you will find only 3-stops of range are possible. If you wish to access the full five stops of range, either exit Live View, or if you’re in Movie mode, switch to manual and manually set the exposure as required.

If you are shooting in Auto ISO using P, Tv or Av and have set exposure compensation, then if you switch to M, be aware that any exposure compensation set in any of the previous modes will be translated to M. If you wish to cancel this, you should reset the exposure compensation to 0.

When shooting a timelapse, it is likely the camera will be active for a long period of time, and as such battery life becomes important. In normal shooting conditions, with a shooting interval set to 1sec, the EOS 5D Mark IV with a fully charged LP-E6N battery should last around 3h50mins. For timelapses lasting longer than this, either a battery grip with two batteries (double time) or a mains adaptor should be used. At lower temperatures, the shooting time will reduce.

The EOS 5D Mark IV features a timelapse movie function that will automatically compile a timelapse movie from still images. When setting up timelapse movie, you can adjust the interval between shots and the number of shots to be captured. The maximum number of shots is 3600, which will give a final movie clip time length of around 2mins for NTSC and 2m24s for PAL. To create a longer timelapse – say with a shorter interval between images – you should use the normal intervalometer function within the camera menu and then compile the timelapse yourself afterwards.

The Lock Switch has been a feature of EOS cameras for several generations, but in the EOS 5D Mark IV it has gained new features – instead of simply locking the Main or Quick command dial, it can be configured to lock various other functions too. One such function is the touch screen. If you normally use the touch screen but would like to disable it quickly, instead of searching in the menu for the setting to disable it, simply configure the Lock Switch to do so. This will help avoid accidental touch screen presses when shooting.

Dual Pixel RAW is a feature that allows you to adjust the area of maximum sharpness in the image after capture, using the included Canon Digital Photo Professional software. Dual Pixel RAW will work on all images to a greater or lesser degree. To maximize the effectiveness of the post processing, you should use a lens of 50mm or longer, an ISO of 1600 or less and an aperture of f/5.6 or lower. Settings outside these parameters will still exhibit some adjustment capability, but it will be reduced.

The EOS 5D Mark IV can use both LP-E6 and LP-E6N batteries. Both will power the camera. However, if you wish to achieve the fastest frame rate possible, you should use an LP-E6N as this will allow the 7fps shooting speed. With the LP-E6 battery, the speed will drop to approximately 5fps.

So there you have it! Ten things you probably didn't realize the 5D Mark IV was capable of doing!

3D, 4D, 5D, 7D, 8D, 9D, ∞ D – long story about stereo dynamic attractions and virtual cinemas. So, it’s a time to share our opinion, how we do see this. All answers to main questions : what is 5D cinema as a business now, what are the differences in 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D etc., and how to name the 5D equipment we produce, are given by Nikolai Grebenkine, the CEO of AET/Amusement and Edutainment Technologies.
Our story began at 18 December 1895, when brothers Lumiere showed their first movie on Boulevard des Capucines in Paris. This was a pass for movies into the consciousness of the masses. Because of this, everyone in the world knows what the cinema is. Thanks to the loyalty of the authorities, in the middle of the last century, stereo movies and stereo cinemas appeared in our country! We will not bore you with historical details, that can be found in Google, the conclusion matters – people know, how to buy movie tickets and will continue do this. Consequently, when we see a sign with 5D cinema, people understand that this is a place where you can buy ticket and watch the movie. Despite the confusing prefix 5D. Also, it is clear for visitors that movies are changed regularly, and you can come back and buy new tickets. These simple things keep the secret of the success of the film business organization. “Bread and circuses” – famous and ancient phrase of the great Juvenal – guarantees, movie tickets will always buy.
So, what kind of business «5 6 7 8 9D cinema» is – it’s very popular business of selling tickets with all the requirements: crowded place, find cheaper but favorable location, virtual cinema equipment should have WOW effect and expanding film list, to make people willing to come back. So how to get to the magical world of “selling tickets to the movies”. Opening the usual movie theatre or even 3D one, doesn’t make sense. They are opening up by the big players in this market associated with developers and film distributors who cover their film projects for decades. So you need to open a different format cinema, a monopoly which is free from Hollywood. Fortunately for us, such kind of format has already been created. That is «motion theater» – the entertainment cinema.
The entertainment cinema is the phrase not entirely accurate, because any cinema might be considered as entertainment. In addition to motion theater’s movie, there are specially devised effects during the session:

For the stimulation of a special depth of the images – in 3D stereo display format (stereoscopic)
For the stimulation of the wind on the screen – the fans blowing on audience
For the stimulation of the water splash from the screen – water supply injectors, squirting on visitors at the right moment.
For the stimulation of mice, insects or any other poultry running towards visitors from the screen – various “ body touches”
Bubbles, smoke, lightning, smells appearing in the hall at the right time, along with the corresponding image on the screen
And of course, the viewer’s motion simulation in the process of watching the movie along with the characters and objects in the movie.

Typically, minor fluctuations of the chairs during the session Motion theatres housed in museums, parks, arcades, walking alleys, where it was not appropriate to place a normal movie theater. Duration of the movie was chosen -15-30 minutes, so the view can withstand overwhelm of special effects. And the number of visitors was reduced to 25-50 people per session, of course. Wikipedia described such cinemas as 4D cinema – marketing term, describes a combination of 3D cinema and physical effects, synchronized with the film. The audience can feel the movement and vibration of seats, wind, smoke, water splashes, and odor. Although, letter «D» stands for dimension – there is nothing in common with fourth dimension. Also, there is nothing in common between 5 dimension and 5D cinema, that because of special, very carefully prepared simulation dynamic show during the short session, it was decided to name it after the next number after 4.
Therefore, we define, that the 5D cinema is:

As equipment – active dynamic platform is a must, the platform the moves, unlike 4D cinema, in several dimensions (left/right, back/forth, up/down), where the viewer’s seat, that perfectly synchronized with what is happening on the screen. This is 3D stereo surround, sound surround, and different special effects
As a business model – necessarily small 3-8 seats hall with dynamic short films (3-7 minutes), which contributes to a large turnover of visitors and full load at rush hour Although Wikipedia has only one line about 5D, nowadays, 5D cinema is a self-paced business with a turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars. Those who wish to join in this business will have to choose between large varieties of 5D, dynamic stereo equipment available on the market.
Before you buy, you have to take into account:
Equipment specifications (our specification is the most intense in the market)
Special effects quantity
The number of degrees of freedom
Dynamic characteristics of the platform. We are the only one, who uses 6! power electric drives, just for 4 seats
Platform design (we are sure, that our design attracts visitors, people want and like to seat in our chairs)
Availability and expanding video content – 5D films ( we have an extensive library, 70 diverse 5D films
Warranty and post warranty service
And the most important – spot «WOW factor», emotion degree that the audience will get after the sessions, because you will sell EMOTIONS. If people would be satisfied and happy with your 5D cinemas, they will come back again and again…(have a look, how react our visitors on our 5D equipment)
We believe that only manufacturers can name the attraction. For example, our cinema model with interactive features (game option during the session), will be named «7D» because it is absolutely new adjustment to 5D cinema. And there is no more sense in this name «7D cinema» (have a look HERE, the principle of operation). Finally, answering the question, what is the difference between diverse 6D-7D-8D-9D, I have my dissenting opinion. Differs only names, and generally not in the direction to help the viewer to orient the product. Especially when the owners of amusement rides are beginning to add extra “D” on their own, because try to distinguish themselves from competitors.
