Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera

Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera – compact 7K with advanced autofocus

The Canon EOS C50 is a groundbreaking and compact cinema camera designed for both professional and enthusiastic filmmakers. With its impressive 7K full-frame sensor and powerful DIGIC DV7 image processor, it offers outstanding image quality and detail. It is ideal for documentaries, drama series, solo productions, and virtual production. The C50 is built to deliver the highest possible performance and creative freedom in all recording scenarios.

7K full-frame & Open Gate for maximum creativity

The large full-frame sensor allows recording up to 7K in Open Gate mode, meaning the entire sensor area is utilized. This gives filmmakers fantastic flexibility in post-production, including the ability to reframe, stabilize the image, and deliver in multiple formats without losing sharpness. With the C50, you can be sure that every detail is captured with exceptional clarity.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with AI for precise focus

The C50 is equipped with Canon's advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology, which uses deep learning to identify faces, eyes, and objects. This feature allows the camera to lock focus steadily even during fast movements. To achieve cinematic focus transitions, the sensitivity and transitions of the autofocus can be adjusted, providing more control over the focus work.

High frame rates and Log for professional grading

With the ability to record up to 4K 120p for smooth slow motion and 2K 180p, the C50 gives you the tools you need to create impressive visual storytelling. Additionally, you can work in Canon Log 2/Log 3, which provides a wide dynamic range and maximum room for color correction and grading. The dual base ISO of 800/6400 ensures that the camera performs excellently in both bright daylight and low light conditions.

Flexible recording with Cinema RAW Light and XF format

The C50 allows recording in Cinema RAW Light to CFexpress Type B, preserving all sensor information in 12-bit. Additionally, you can record proxy or XF format (H.265/H.264) on SD UHS-II, facilitating a smooth offline/online workflow and faster deliveries.

Generous connections in a compact design

Despite its compact size (approximately 142 × 88 × 95 mm, approximately 670 g), the C50 offers several connection options, including HDMI-A, USB-C (power/host), Timecode (DIN in/out), 3.5 mm microphone input, headphone jack, and a multi-function shoe for accessories like XLR handles.
