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 DetectionThe 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 RecordingWhen 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 Card SlotsCFexpress (type B) and SD card slots on the EOS C50 allow for simultaneous recording even when shooting RAW. All recording options are recorded to the camera’s CFexpress slot with sub-recording and proxy options available on the SD card slot.Dual Pixel CMOS AF IIThe EOS C50 supports the next generation of Canon’s acclaimed Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II.
