Understanding False Color on the R5C - EOS R5C Tip 52

In this video I dig into the false color exposure aid in Canon’s cinema EOS cameras, like the R5C.

False color is an exposure aid that works by coloring your image based on the exposure level or brightness of each area. There are several false color patterns ranging from simple IRE levels to exposure level dependent systems like Arri’s — the same system Canon cameras use.

In this video I cover how to enable false color using the menus, button functions and the direct touch control system. I also cover the false color zones, and what they represent.

Finally, I dig into the details of Canon’s false color system. This includes the exposure levels that trigger the various color zones; the precision of the exposure zones, and a look at the accuracy of Canon’s implementation of Arri’s false color pattern.

If you’re interested in a more practical look at how to use false color, you may be interested in my R5 mark 2 tip video on the same topic. You can find it linked here:
