Скачать или смотреть Can the Canon R5 Handle This? January Wildlife Photography in Rain & Sun

Mastering wildlife photography in sun and rain requires two totally different skill sets. In this video, I’m taking my [Canon R5] into the field to show you the exact camera settings I use to handle harsh midday shadows and how to protect your gear (and get moody shots) when the rain starts falling.

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when the world is soaked: the colors become more saturated, the light softens, and the animals show a side of their lives we rarely see.

📸 Featured Gear: The Canon R5 + RF 100-500mm
Shooting in the heavy rain of January 2026 really put the Canon R5 and the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM to the test.

Weather Sealing: Both the R5 and the 100-500mm are L-series weather-sealed. Even in constant drizzle, the gaskets held up perfectly. Tip: I still recommend a rain sleeve for peace of mind during heavy downpours!

Low Light Performance: With the lens hitting f/7.1 at 500mm, the dark January skies meant pushing the R5’s ISO higher than usual. Thanks to the R5's sensor and some modern noise reduction, the files remained incredibly clean.

Autofocus in the Mist: Even with rain blurring the background, the R5’s Animal Eye AF remained sticky, locking onto birds and mammals through the droplets.

Stabilization: The combined IBIS and Lens IS allowed me to drop my shutter speed slightly to compensate for the dark clouds without losing sharpness.

Are you a "fair weather" photographer, or do you head out when the clouds roll in? If you're an R5 user, how have you found the weather sealing in your own experience? Let’s talk in the comments!
