I got what I am told is a "C" cable with my R5. What is this cable for ?. I can find a connection on the camera, but what does the other end of the cable plug into ?.

Thanks.
 
I would surmise that it is a USB C to USB C cable for connecting to your computer.

If your computer does not have a USB C, then you will need a USB C to USB A adapter.

As for uses, perhaps needed when 'tethering' or if you don't have a memory card reader, then transfer your image files via the cable:)
 
It is indeed a USB-C cable, to be used for power delivery through what's known as a C port.

USB Power Delivery, or USB PD, is a charging protocol that uses high speed USB-C connecters and cables. Smartphones, tablets, and laptops that are Power Delivery-enabled allow safe, faster charging and more power for larger devices, without the need of a separate power supply.

you can also use it for charging the camera battery when the camera is switched off - if you have a plug to connect the USB C end into.
