Setting the Dual Pixel RAW Function (EOS 5D Mark IV)

If you shoot [ ] images (other than [ ] or [ ]) when Dual Pixel RAW function is set, they will be recorded as "special [ ] images (Dual Pixel RAW images)" with Dual Pixel data from the image sensor appended. This is called Dual Pixel RAW shooting.

When you perform processing of the Dual Pixel RAW image with the Digital Photo Professional (EOS software), you can make use of the Dual Pixel data recorded with the Dual Pixel RAW image for microadjustment of the position of maximum sharpness and resolution using the depth information contained within the file, repositioning the viewpoint or foreground bokeh for a more pleasing result, and reducing the appearance of ghosting in images.

Since the effect will differ depending on the shooting conditions, refer to the Related Information section for the features of Duel Pixel RAW function and Dual Pixel RAW image processing before performing Dual Pixel Raw shooting.

About the Dual Pixel RAW Function

Even if [ : Dual Pixel RAW ] is set to [Enable], you cannot record [ ] or [ ] images appended with the Dual Pixel data (only possible with images).

If [ : Record func+card/folder sel. ] is set to [Rec. separately] and the image-recording quality is set to [ ] for one card and [ ] or [ ] for the other, Dual Pixel RAW shooting cannot be performed.

When [ : Dual Pixel RAW ] is set to [Enable], you cannot use multiple exposures, HDR shooting, the One-touch image quality setting or Digital Lens Optimizer. Also, the startup time will be longer when the power switch is set to ⋖ON⋗ or to resume from the Auto power off state.

With Dual Pixel RAW shooting, the number of possible shots will decrease.

Shooting in Dual Pixel RAW using the viewfinder will decrease the continuous shooting speed. The maximum burst for continuous shooting will also decrease.

If [ : Dual Pixel RAW ] is set to [Enable] for Live View shooting, the [ 　]　and [　 ] drive modes cannot be selected. If [ 　] or [　 ] is set, the [ ] drive mode will apply for shooting.

In viewfinder shooting with [ : Dual Pixel RAW] set to [Enable], if you switch to Live View shooting while ⋖ ⋗ or ⋖ ⋗ drive mode is set, the ⋖ ⋗ drive mode will be set automatically.

When you shoot RAW or RAW+JPEG images with [ : Dual Pixel RAW] set to [Enable], noise may be more noticeable compared with that in normal shooting.
