Does the Canon R5 have a crop factor when shooting in 4K 60p?

thanks!
 
I don't shoot video.

However, apparently no crop. R5 Specs (Full sensor width.)

You'd get a 16:9 aspect ratio, rather than 4:3, so you'd get 3/4 of the height extent of the sensor.
 
R5 has an 8k sensor, and it is capable of doing 4k in both FF and crop modes
  • Full frame 4k in pixel skipped / binned mode can do 60p
  • Full frame 4k HQ (fine in menu) will do interpolation from 8k frames, but will only do up to 30p
  • Cropped 4k at 1:1 pixels from central half of frame can do 60p
  • Can do Full Frame 4k 60p over HDMI for external recording to ninja V
Further, 4k can be recorded in either DCI or UHD resolutions

The cropped mode is 1.6x, not the 2x needed for 1:1.The manual says "Recording movies with EF-S lenses has the same effect as this movie cropping feature." I haven't noticed movie mode cropping in further when using EF-S lenses, but I haven't been actually looking for it either :)

So the 4k60 in crop mode is also oversampled.
 
So shooting non HQ 4k60 is not oversampled? So it's really better to try HQ because it is oversampled?

R5 4K60 cropped is oversampled from 5.6K

4K60 FF is not oversampled. (if R5 can do 4K 60HQ, then it can also do 8K60)

4KHQ can only do 30fps - not what the OP was asking. BTW I don't shoot 4KHQ, I shoot 8K instead
