R5 RAW quality settings

[DonMyers]

I recently bought a Canon R5. I also own an R7. On the R7, there are several choices for RAW quality setting. I see only one on the R5. There must be a way to set high, medium and low RAW settings on the R5. I've looked at the manual and some articles. I can't find an answer. This pertains to photos, not video.

You have lossless compressed RAW and lossy compressed Compact RAW, CRAW. 

You can also use 1,6x crop mode.

Welcome to the site Don

The R5 does not have the functionality to reduce the quality of the Raw file, it captures everything the sensor has to offer. Once selected you will always capture recorded images full resolution get 45M @ 8192x5464 as the standard. Only when you shoot JPEG can you adjust the captured quality settings. The other is to capture both, Raw full resolution and JPEG which has seven quality settings.

The EOS R7 only has two RAW selections, RAW and C[RAW] (compressed Raw), as does the EOS R5. Are you sure you have the camera names correct. There are several JPeG and HEIF size options. IIRC, some of my Rebels had L, M, and S Raw selections, and my 5D mark IV has Medium(M) and Small(S) RAW, but not so on my R7 and R5.

From the R7 user manual.

My R7 gives me a file size of 6960x4640. My R5 gives me a file size of 5288x3392. Do you have any idea why I'm not getting the full 45mp?

If you are in crop mode (1.6), your dimensions would be 5088x3392. Either you typed "5288" incorrectly, or the software you are using has added 200mp to the width... Just a guess 🙂

I can't really add more then Newton, it seems like it may be a settings challenge. I just moved images into a folder (Win11) and this is what the properties look like....

Thanks for the help. When using an RF-S lens, it changes it to 1.6 automatically and won't let you change it.

You can unmount it a little bit and take a picture. But you will get black corners.

5248x3510 px with masked pixels included. 5120x3414 px with the masked pixels excluded.

The reason to crop more is to reduce the risk of artifacts.
