Overview

Impressive usability and imaging power combine in the EOS C500 Mark II, the customizable full frame cinema camera that’s built for creative freedom.

The lightweight body comes equipped with Canon's 5.9K full-frame CMOS sensor capable of over 15 stops of dynamic range. The newly developed DIGIC DV 7 Image Processor expands functionality and flexibility by enabling features such as 5.9K recording, internal recording of Canon Cinema Raw Light and Dual Pixel Autofocus.

The Cinema EOS C500 Mark II is the perfect expression of form and function, exceptionally adaptable to virtually any production with its modular design. Three expansion units and user changeable lens mounts enable operators to build their ideal cinema system.

Features

Sensor Mode Selection

Sensor Mode selection has been simplified to just the touch of a button. As a time saver, toggling between Full-Frame, Super 35 or Super 16 crop modes can be designated to one of the camera's assignable buttons.

DIGIC DV 7 Image Processor powerfully processes high-resolution image data

The EOS C500 Mark II uses a newly developed DIGIC DV 7 Image Processor that takes the extensive RAW information captured from the 5.9K imaging sensor and processes it for output. DiG!C is also the engine behind features such as high frame rate recording, Dual Pixel Auto Focus, Cinema Raw Light Recording, HDR(PQ and HLG) output, electronic image stabilization, proxy recording and oversampling 5.9K processing.

Enhanced Clear Scan Mode

Clear Scan shutter mode helps reduce or virtually eliminate the flickering caused by some LED walls.

When recording in 5.9K Cinema RAW Light, 60 fps is available, which is an ideal range of high-quality slow-motion capture for typical human movements. In 2K (Crop) mode, frame rates up to 120fps are available allowing users to slow down the action even further, for more dramatic scenes and special effects. Two buttons S&F(Slow and Fast Motion) and S&F FPS (Slow and Fast Motion – Frames per Second) have been added to gives quick access to desired speed settings, making it simple to utilize this creative tool quickly and spontaneously when the moment is right.

Cinema RAW Light HQ, ST and LT Recording Formats

Canon has added three Cinema RAW Light recording modes, all with 12-bit recording capabilities, in addition to the existing RAW Light format, giving the camera four different RAW recording options to choose from.

Cinema RAW Light HQ, ST, LTⁱ

Resolution	Recording Format	59.94Hz			24.00Hz

	RAW ST	993 Mbps	497 Mbps	397 Mbps	398 Mbps
	RAW LT	645 Mbps	323 Mbps	258 Mbps	259 Mbps
2048 x 1080	RAW HQ	511 Mbps	256 Mbps	205 Mbps	205 Mbps
	RAW ST	252 Mbps	126 Mbps	101 Mbps	101 Mbps
	RAW LT	164 Mbps	82 Mbps	66 Mbps	66 Mbps

All RAW Light HQ, ST and LT recording formats can take advantage of the C500 Mark II’s 4:3 and 6:5 sensor crop modes, making the formats a great option for a variety of Anamorphic lens options.

Proxy Recording

Higher resolution, greater bit depths and faster frame rates provide versatility and greater image quality but come at the cost of much larger file sizes. Proxy files can greatly speed up the editorial process by providing a lower bandwidth alternative for the initial file sharing and edits.

Canon’s powerful, high-speed DIGIC DV 7 image processor makes it possible for the EOS C500 Mark II to simultaneously record 2K Proxy files. Cinema RAW Light (5.9K, 4K Crop, or 2K (Crop)) can be recorded to the internal CFexpress card while an XF-AVC 2K 4:2:0 8-bit Proxy can be recorded directly to an internal SD card.

Proxy files can be named using the recommended “_Proxy” suffix, which enhances compatibility with non-linear editing systems.

Compatibility with EF and PL Lenses*

With optional mount kits, users can swap from EF to Locking EF-C or PL mounts on their own.

PL lenses are a cinema legacy. With a wide breath of options available to cinematographers choosing a lens is an important part of the creative process. The EOS C500 Mark II’s interchangeability now makes it possible to take any PL lens and pair it with Canon’s state-of-the-art sensor to meet the needs of any project.

Using Canon’s EF still lenses offer remarkable new possibilities for cinematographers including the use of specialty lenses like the fisheye zoom, tilt-shift and super-telephotos.

Digital Tele-Converter

The digital tele-converter adds focal length versatility to the EOS C500 Mark II. The feature allows a user to change the angle of view with image magnification options of 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x or 3x.

The December 2024 firmware update adds an indicator to the on-screen display to indicate that the tele-converter feature is activated.

Anamorphic Lens Support

The EOS C500 Mark II offers cinematographers anamorphic lens support. Users can now achieve wide cinematic looks and oval bokeh particular to anamorphic glass. It is a distinctly cinematic palette that is within reach for your next project.

Electronic Image Stabilization

The EOS C500 Mark II is the first Canon Cinema EOS camera to feature built-in five-axis electronic IS that works with almost any lens including anamorphic.

EVF-V50 OLED Electronic Viewfinder

The EVF-V50 OLED electronic viewfinder is a tilting 0.46” approx. 1.77 million dot OLED EVF that offers outstanding visibility for single-operator applications, such as documentaries and outdoor interviews.

Expansion Unit 2 – EU-V2

This unit converts the EOS C500 Mark II from a compact powerhouse to a full production camera system ready for anything. EU-V2 adds two additional XLR audio inputs, Lens port, 24-volt DC out, and D-Tap power, in addition to Genlock, sync out, Remote B (422) and Ethernet port. It also allows the camera to be powered using industry standard v-lock batteries.

Expansion Unit 3 - EU-V3

Designed for live event video production, the EU-V3 increases the operational capability of the C500 Mark II. By attaching the EU-V3, the camera gains additional input/output terminals necessary for live video production. Specialized functions for live broadcasting include a “tally” function that indicates which camera the live video is being captured with, and a “return” function that notifies operators which camera is currently “live". In addition, the unit supports the “focus position guide” function that enables operators to register a desired focus position and also display the current focus position on-screen.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF with support for Touch AF and Face Detection AF

The Cinema EOS C500 Mark II features Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology. For DPAF, each pixel in the camera’s CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at each photosite and compared using phase-difference to provide autofocus with compatible lenses. DPAF can survey the scene and recognizes not only whether the subject is in focus or not, but in which direction (near or far), and by how much. DPAF also powers the intuitive Focus Guide for users who prefer to focus manually but enjoy the positive feedback DPAF provides through the guide interface.

Adjustable Focus Guide Size

The camera's Focus Guide feature offers two sizes - Normal and Large, which is approximately 2x bigger than the Normal option.

4 Channel Audio Recording

With Expansion Unit EU-V2, the EOS C500 Mark II supports up to 4-channel audio recording. Audio input from the camera’s internal microphone, mini mic port, and XLR ports can be assigned to the 4 different audio channels. This flexibility allows a wide range of audio devices to be connected and mixed directly on the camera.

Support for Custom User LUTs

Users can upload and apply custom LUTs to the EOS C500 Mark II. LUTs can be assigned to specific output terminals and the LCD or viewfinder. Clients can be viewing one LUT, while production works from another, giving different production roles the ability to customize the look of the image to their needs.

Waveform Monitor / Vectorscope

Users have the option to double the size of the on-screen waveform monitor and vectorscope. The ability to adjust opacity (transparency) of these on-screen tools makes it easier to see and adjust exposure while shooting. The vectorscope displays the custom picture color space along with the name for each color.

Remote Control Support

The EOS C500 Mark II body has a remote A terminal (LANC) on the body and supports remote B (RS422) in expansion units EU-V1 and EU-V2, and EU-V3. Through these connectors, the EOS C500 Mark II can be completely remote operated either by a standard LANC compatible cable or over longer distances through the use of a serial connection.

A second option for remote control is Canon's IP-based XC Protocol. XC Protocol was added to help maximize operability and remote control of camera settings. Using the XC Protocol, the camera can be operated by Canon’s RC-IP1000 or RC-IP100 remote control panels, or via the Remote Control Camera Application (RCCA) over an Ethernet Network connection. Additionally, XC Protocol-enabled third-party controllers (RCP) can control the camera.

Canon Multi-Camera Control App

A wireless smartphone remote control option has been added with the release of the Canon Multi-Camera Control App for iPhone or iPad*.

The Canon Multi Camera Control App provides the ability to control multiple cameras wirelessly from an iPhone or iPad via Wi-Fi**. The free app empowers you to have control over recording start and stop, focus, zoom and iris, ND Filters, ISO, Shutter, White Balance, and Custom picture control all while viewing the image from the camera.

* Available for download on the Apple App Store

** Wi-Fi connectivity requires the WFT-E9 Wireless File Transmitter.
