Introduction
About the EOS 5DS RThe EOS 5DS R’s optical low-pass filter is disabled, and the effect is 
eliminated to obtain a higher-looking resolution.
Since the optical low-pass filter is for reducing moire and false colors, images 
taken with the EOS 5DS R may show more moire and false colors than with 
the EOS 5DS depending on the su bject and shooting conditions.
