Hello,

Does anyone have experience using the Canon R5 for filming? Which mode do you use—do you shoot in C-Log 3 or not—and is there a base ISO? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Clog 3 base iso is 800. I always use FV mode

I have and do. Great camera for it. I just use M not Fv mode. In general I shoot Clog3 (or offload to a Ninja for ProRes 422). I don't use the base ISO as a defining rule, and aim to expose the scene. I am often shooting dark meaning I shoot 30p so get the best image quality and to get double the light (the R5 is at its best at 30p 4k and still very good at 60p at 4k) ... but then have to be VERY smooth with the camera when shooting at 30p.

The non Clog3 files are also really nice, saving post processing time. I thought I would never use them but now do - depending on fate of the imagery.

If dedicated for film though, hard to not go with the R6iii over the R5. The R5 is a better hybrid shooter, but the R6iii is the best choice for video focused use. (I now use an R6ii when dedicating dives to video over stills/hybrid - would prefer the R6iii but not enough of a compelling reason to upgrade).
