Featuring a newly developed 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, the Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera is a compact powerhouse for your video and photo needs. The EOS C50 is capable of recording 3:2 Open Gate video at 4K120 and raw video up to 7K60, as well as 32MP stills in photo mode. Simply select between dedicated photo and video modes for an intuitive hybrid shooting experience. Additional advanced features of the C50 include Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II, simultaneous 2K crop recording, built-in Frame.io Camera-to-Cloud integration, and XC protocol support for remote control. An included detachable top handle equips you with two 3-pin XLR inputs as well as onboard controls for easy-to-reach adjustments.

Canon EOS C50: A 7K Open Gate Beast!

Introducing the Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera: Open a World of Cinematic Possibilities

7K Full-Frame CMOS Sensor

The C50 is equipped with a 7K full-frame CMOS sensor that creates images with low noise for improved performance in a wide variety of lighting environments. This maximizes the camera's full 15+ stop dynamic range in full-frame sensor mode. Using 7K resolution provides greater flexibility in post, such as oversampled 4K60 footage.

3:2 Open Gate Sensor Mode

The first of the cinema EOS line to do so, the C50 offers Open Gate recording options for the use of the full dimensions of the sensor. Select Full Frame 3:2 from the Sensor mode section of the main menu to shoot using the full area of the sensor. Then you can use that information in post to crop or reframe your footage to aspect ratios of your choice. This proves useful when shooting with anamorphic lenses.

Internal Raw and High Frame Rate Recording

Additional recording options of the C50 include 7K60 Cinema RAW Light with three 12-bit recording modes in HQ, ST, and LT. Standard XF-AVC codec is available in 10-bit 4:2:2 for rich detail and smooth images at frame rates up to 120 fps without cropping. You can also record in fast or slow motion up to 4K120. Other recording codecs include XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S for easy-to-manage naming systems and folder structures while preserving metadata.

Anamorphic De-Squeeze

The C50 features internal support for anamorphic de-squeeze. Preview your footage more accurately when shooting in different magnification ratios by toggling the de-squeeze options in the camera menu: 2x, 1.8x, 1.5x, 1.3x.

Dual-Base ISO

Base ISOs of 800 and 6400 in Canon Log 2 gamma recording mode maximize the full dynamic range of the C50's sensor. The camera also features Auto Selection to automatically toggle between one of the two base ISO levels and another level while maintaining the dynamic range.

Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II

Keep your subject in focus, whether you're shooting in slow or fast motion. The Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II can accommodate speeds up to 4K120 and 2K150, ensuring that even when using high frame rates, your subject remains in focus. The C50's sensor has improved light-capturing efficiency, which widens the area of the sensor that can be used for autofocus. An internal subject detection algorithm with deep learning technology allows you to set face/eye detection to left or right eye priority in both humans and animals. Animal detection also now includes birds.

Simultaneous Crop Recording

Choose between three format options—9:17, 9:16, or 1:1—to automatically crop your image down when shooting in DCI or UHD 4K resolutions. The cropped portion of the frame will be saved in your selected aspect ratio and will be in 2K resolution. All of this reduces turnaround time when formatting videos for social media deliverables.
