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 and 2K180. Other recording codecs include XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S for easy-to-manage naming systems and folder structures while preserving metadata.
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.
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.
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.
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.
