The EOS 5D Mark IV camera builds on the powerful legacy of the 5D series, offering amazing refinements in image quality, performance and versatility. Canon’s commitment to imaging excellence is the soul of the EOS 5D Mark IV. Wedding and portrait photographers, nature and landscape shooters, as well as creative videographers will appreciate the brilliance and power that the EOS 5D Mark IV delivers. Superb image quality is achieved with Canon’s all-new 30.4 Megapixel full-frame sensor, and highly-detailed 4K video is captured with ease. Focus accuracy has been improved with a refined 61-point AF system and Canon’s revolutionary Dual Pixel CMOS AF for quick, smooth AF for both video and Live View shooting. Fast operation is enhanced with Canon’s DIGIC 6+ Image Processor, which provides continuous shooting at up to 7.0 fps*. Built-in Wi-Fi®**, GPS*** and an easy-to-navigate touch-panel LCD allow the camera to become an extension of you. When quality matters, the EOS 5D Mark IV helps deliver results to inspire even the most discerning imagemaker.

Recording Functions
- Standard
- Select manually to record on either the CF card or SD card.
- Auto switch card
- When the current card becomes full, the camera switches to the other card automatically.
- Record separately
- The CF card and SD card record the same image at a different image recording quality (Large/Fine, Large/Normal, Medium/Fine, Medium/Normal, Small 1/Fine, Small 1/Normal, Small 2, Small 3, RAW, mRAW, sRAW).
- Record to multiple
- Both the CF card and SD card record the same image at the same image recording quality (Also applies to RAW+JPEG, mRAW+JPEG, and sRAW+JPEG).
File Numbering
The following three types of file numbers can be set:
- Continuous numbering
- The numbering of captured images continues even after you replace the card.
- Auto reset
- When you replace the card, the numbering will be reset to start from 0001. If the new card already contains images, the numbering will continue from the last recorded image in the card.
- Manual reset
- Resets the file number to 0001, and creates a new folder automatically.
