Features

Newly Developed 7K Full Frame CMOS Sensor

The EOS C50 features a newly developed 7K full-frame CMOS sensor. The sensor offers exceptionally low noise, enabling it to excel in a wide variety of lighting situations and maximizing the camera’s full dynamic range. The high resolution and realism of 7K enable richer creative expression as well as greater flexibility in workflows, including oversampled 4K 60P.

7K CMOS Sensor

Full Frame 3:2 “Open Gate” Sensor Mode

The EOS C50 is the first Cinema EOS camera to feature open gate recording options, utilizing the full dimensions of the sensor. By selecting Full Frame 3:2 from the Sensor Mode section of the main menu, you can shoot using the full area of the sensor and then use that information in post to crop and re-frame your footage to the aspect ratio of your choice. This is especially valuable when shooting with full-frame anamorphic lenses.

Sensor Mode Settings Menu

Support for Anamorphic Lens Desqueeze

Anamorphic lenses have an elongated rear element that makes it possible to utilize flare and bokeh effects that cannot be achieved with ordinary lenses. The EOS C50 provides desqueeze magnification options including OFF/2x/1.8x/1.5x/1.3x.

Sensor Mode Settings Menu

Dual Base ISO

The full-frame 7K sensor of the EOS C50 offers dual base ISO, which allows the camera to deliver stunning imagery in a wide range of lighting conditions. With base ISOs of 800 and 6400 in Canon Log 2, you will be able to maximize the full dynamic range of the sensor in almost any shooting scenario. The camera also features Auto Selection, which automatically switches from one of the two base ISO levels to another level while maintaining the dynamic range.

7K 60P Internal RAW Recording and 4K 120P High Frame Rate Recording

The EOS C50 can record up to 7K 60P Cinema RAW Light with an additional three 12-bit Cinema RAW Light recording modes: HQ, ST and LT.

Other recording options include our standard XF-AVC codec which can record in 10-bit 4:2:2, creating rich detail and smooth imagery at frame rates up to 120P, without cropping the image from the sensor. For slow or fast motion recording, the EOS C50 can support up to 4K 120P and 2K 180P.

Additionally, the C50 features the XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording codecs. These formats feature an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, while recording in the familiar MP4 format and preserving metadata.

High Frame Rate Recording with Auto Focus and Subject Detection

The camera’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II enables you to keep your subject in focus during slow or fast shooting at speeds up to 4K/120P or 2K/150P. This will help to ensure that even at high frame rates, your subject will remain in clear focus.

Simultaneous Crop Recording

When shooting for social media, an added benefit of the camera is that it allows for simultaneous crop recording when shooting in 4K DCI or UHD, allowing you to record at your chosen aspect ratio while also recording a cropped portion of the frame in 2K. When shooting in simultaneous crop mode, you have up to three format options, depending on your shooting mode: 9:17, 9:16, or 1:1. This will help to reduce turnaround time when formatting videos for different deliverables.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

The EOS C50 supports the next generation of Canon’s acclaimed Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II. The camera’s sensor provides superb light-capturing efficiency, widening the area of the sensor that can be used for AF to approximately 100% by 100%.

The subject detection algorithm utilizes deep learning technology. The face/eye detection can now be set with either left or right eye priority in both humans and animals. Additionally, the animal detection AF now also includes birds.

Note: Animal detection may not be possible with some animals. Subjects that are not dogs or cats may not be detected as animals in some cases.

Vertical Shooting UI

When shooting vertically, the display on the EOS C50 can be switched to a UI that supports vertical shooting. It also supports touch controls for recording start/stop from the vertical screen mode.

Along with the shooting UI, menu settings and LCD brightness adjustments are also reoriented for vertical shooting to provide an easy-to-read layout.

Light and Compact Body Design Including Detachable Handle with Built-in XLR Inputs, REC and Zoom Control

The EOS C50 is the smallest and lightest Cinema EOS camera to date. The light and compact body makes shooting in tight spaces easier with greater freedom in angles and movement, and it reduces fatigue even during long hand-held shots.

Thanks to its flat and linear design with few protruding parts, you can easily attach a mic, rig, gimbal, or other accessories to customize the camera in multiple ways to fit your shooting style.

The included handle unit can also be attached to shoot subjects from a low or crooked angle, enabling more diverse and flexible visual capabilities. The handle also contains two built-in, full-sized 3-pin XLR inputs with 48V phantom power to record high-quality audio with an external mic. Additionally, the handle comes with a start/stop button and a zoom rocker.

Ethernet, and Wi-Fi® Control

The built-in Wi-Fi® enables Canon's IP-based remote control XC Protocol. Compatible third-party USB-to-Ethernet adapters will also provide additional options for connectivity.

XC Protocol maximizes operability and remote control of camera settings. Using the XC Protocol, the camera can be operated by Canon’s RC-IP1000 and RC-IP100 controllers (sold separately), and XC Protocol-enabled third-party remote control panels (RCP) can remotely shade the camera.

Additionally, Canon’s Remote Control Camera Application and Multi-Camera Control App can control camera settings as well as multiple cameras. The camera also features SRT protocol, enabling IP streaming of video and audio.

XC Protocol Logo

Adobe Frame.io Camera-to-Cloud Integration

The camera has native compatibility with Frame.io’s Camera-to-Cloud (C2C) technology. This feature enables you to send proxy files immediately after recording internally, directly from the camera, for a faster and more secure path from production to post. The efficient proxy files don’t require additional processing or conversion, and are available to view, share, and edit remotely between teams in different locations.

Camera to Cloud

Virtual Production Support

The EOS C50 is able to output CV Protocol to multiple devices for virtual productions. Lens metadata can be utilized by running our CV Metadata Extraction plugin on compatible computers, greatly enhancing usability in virtual set environments.

Mount Adapter PL-RF with Cooke/i® Technology Compatibility

The Mount Adapter PL-RF unlocks a broad assortment of PL mount lenses for the EOS C50 camera. The adapter is compatible with Cooke/i® Technology’s metadata protocol which enables real-time output of lens metadata (focus/zoom/iris position, and other data in addition to lens model information). Additionally, the robust adapter features locking plates that attach to the camera with four screws for a secure and stable lens mount.

Full-featured Mirrorless Photo Mode with Dedicated Menu and UI

With a flip of the switch, the EOS C50 transforms from a powerful cinema camera to a professional-class stills camera, utilizing the familiar menu system of the EOS R series. Meeting both needs with a single camera saves you the hassle of having to carry two cameras and makes editing processes smoother, helping to streamline your workflow.

The full-frame sensor offers a shallow depth of field that enables impressive shots that fully utilize bokeh, and shots can be taken with standard ISO of up to 64,000, enabling high-quality images for a wide range of shooting situations and subjects.

  • 35mm full-frame up to approx. 32MP
  • Max. 40 shots/sec. high-speed continuous shooting
  • Still image sensitivity: standard ISO 64000
  • Supports Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
