The Canon EOS R5 C supports genuine external timecode through its multi-function shoe and adapter, letting a Deity TC-1 jam-sync the camera directly. This guide covers the connection and the R5 C menu path for reading incoming timecode.
Step-By-Step User Guide
Step #1
First, confirm your frame rate. In this case, we’re using 24fps.
Step #2
On your Deity TC-1, scroll over to the frame rate section and match it to the camera.
Next, scroll over to the out type section and select “L-Out.”
Step #3
To connect the TC-1 to your EOS R5 C you will need a Deity C19 cable. Locate the timecode port on the camera’s left side and plug it in.
Step #4
In your camera’s menu, scroll over to the wrench icon, which is your system setup. Inside this go to section 3.
This is where your timecode settings live.
Step #5
Inside this menu, set your “Time Code Mode” to “Preset.”
Step #6
Set your “Time Code Run” to “Free Run.”
Step #7
Finally, set your “TC In/Out” to “In.”
