Canon EOS C50 Full-Frame Cinema Camera Unveiling the Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera – a compact yet uncompromising tool that blends the power of a newly engineered 7K full-frame CMOS sensor with the versatility modern creators demand. Designed as a true hybrid, the C50 effortlessly bridges the worlds of professional filmmaking and high-resolution photography. Capture breathtaking 7K60 raw video or cinematic 3:2 Open Gate at 4K120, while switching seamlessly into stills mode to produce detailed 32MP photos. With dedicated photo and video modes, hybrid operation is seamless and intuitive. At the heart of its performance is Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, ensuring fast, accurate, and reliable autofocus, even in challenging conditions. Advanced workflows are supported through simultaneous 2K crop recording, native Frame.io Camera-to-Cloud integration for instant collaboration, and full XC protocol compatibility for remote operation and control. Built for both flexibility and control, the EOS C50 includes a detachable top handle with dual 3-pin XLR inputs and intuitive onboard audio controls, empowering filmmakers to capture professional-grade sound without compromise. Compact, lightweight, and loaded with cutting-edge technology, the C50 is designed to be as versatile as your creative vision — whether you’re on set, on location, or capturing spontaneous moments on the go. Key Features 7K Full-Frame CMOS Sensor The C50 is equipped with a 7K back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor that delivers low-noise performance in a wide range of lighting environments. This maximizes the camera’s 15+ stop dynamic range in full-frame mode. Shooting in 7K also provides greater flexibility in post, such as creating oversampled 4K60 footage. 3:2 Open Gate Sensor Mode For the first time in the Cinema EOS line, the C50 offers Open Gate recording using the full sensor dimensions. Select Full Frame 3:2 mode to shoot with the entire sensor and crop or reframe later to your preferred aspect ratio. This is especially useful when shooting with anamorphic lenses. Internal Raw and High Frame Rate Recording The C50 supports 7K60 Cinema RAW Light with three 12-bit recording modes (HQ, ST, LT). Standard XF-AVC 10-bit 4:2:2 recording ensures smooth detail at frame rates up to 120 fps without cropping. Fast/slow motion recording reaches up to 4K120 and 2K180. Additional options include XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S codecs for simplified file structures and metadata preservation. Anamorphic De-Squeeze Built-in anamorphic de-squeeze support allows accurate monitoring during anamorphic shooting. Choose between 2x, 1.8x, 1.5x, or 1.3x magnification options directly in the camera menu. Dual-Base ISO Base ISOs of 800 and 6400 in Canon Log 2 mode maximize dynamic range across different lighting conditions. Auto Selection intelligently switches between base ISOs while maintaining dynamic range. Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II ensures sharp focus even at high frame rates up to 4K120 and 2K150. Improved light efficiency expands the autofocus area, while deep-learning subject detection enables human eye priority (left or right), as well as animal and bird detection. Simultaneous Crop Recording Easily create social media-ready content with automatic cropping in 9:17, 9:16, or 1:1 formats. The cropped footage is saved in 2K resolution while recording in DCI or UHD 4K, reducing turnaround time for deliverables. Dual Card Slots Record simultaneously with CFexpress Type-B and SD card slots. Raw recording is captured to CFexpress, while proxy and sub-recording options are saved to SD for efficient workflows. Native Vertical Shooting UI Switch to Vertical Shooting mode for a fully optimized interface. The display, touch controls, start/stop functions, and brightness adjustments automatically reorient for vertical shooting. Detachable Handle Unit The detachable handle adds two professional 3-pin XLR inputs with 48V phantom power, along with a built-in start/stop button and zoom rocker. Perfect for handheld or low-angle shooting. Comprehensive Connectivity The C50 offers HDMI output, headphone and microphone ports, XLR inputs, timecode, 2.5mm remote, and USB-C for smartphone or Ethernet adapter connections. An intelligent hot shoe supports wireless audio systems. XC Protocol Built-in Wi-Fi enables Canon’s IP-based XC Protocol for remote control. Operate the camera with Canon RC-IP units or compatible third-party panels. SRT protocol support allows direct IP audio and video streaming. Frame.io Camera-to-Cloud Integration Seamlessly upload proxy files to Frame.io as soon as recording ends. Files require no additional conversion and are instantly ready for viewing, editing, and collaboration. Virtual Production Support With CV Protocol output and metadata extraction support, the C50 integrates easily into virtual production workflows for accurate lens and scene data. Mirrorless Photo Mode Switch the C50 into mirrorless photo mode for full EOS R-series functionality. Capture up to 32MP stills with ISO up to 64,000 and continuous shooting at up to 40 fps. Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II remains active, ensuring accuracy in both stills and video shooting.
