Canon EOS Cinema C500 MK II EU-V2 EMEA (SKU 3794C019AA)

Availability: 7-10 days delivery

The Canon EOS C500 Mark II features a 5.9K full-frame sensor inside a newly developed compact and reliable Cinema EOS body. It is designed to inspire cinematographers with exceptional image quality and flexibility.

Full-Frame Image Quality

The camera uses Canon’s 5.9K full-frame CMOS sensor, offering a cinematic look with smooth skin tones and accurate color reproduction supported by Canon’s color science. It provides more than 15 stops of dynamic range and a wide color space, making it suitable for HDR production.

Recording Formats and Processing

A DIGIC DV 7 processor enables internal 12-bit Cinema RAW Light recording up to 5.9K. The system supports Full Frame, 4:3, 6:5, Super 35mm, and Super 16mm modes for varied workflow needs. Firmware updates allow multiple data-rate options for the Cinema RAW Light LT, ST, and HQ recording modes.

You can record 4K 4:2:2 10-bit using Canon XF-AVC while simultaneously capturing to dual CFexpress cards, with an SD card available for proxy files. Multiple formats offer flexibility and efficiency.

5.9K Oversampling for 4K

The camera oversamples 5.9K footage to produce high-quality 4K and UHD recordings using an advanced debayering algorithm. This reduces noise and moiré for superior results.

Compact and Lightweight Design

With a body weight of around 1,750 g, the camera is ideal for handheld rigs, gimbal setups, and various shooting scenarios.

Lens Mount Options

The body supports interchangeable lens mounts tailored to different production needs. The EF mount works with a wide range of Canon EF lenses, including EF Cinema Primes. The optional PL mount supports Cooke /i communication, and B4 adapters can be used with broadcast lenses.

Modular Configuration

Optional extension units allow the camera to adapt to different production setups.
• EU-V1 adds extra connectivity including Genlock.
• EU-V2 adds two more XLR inputs and a V-Lock battery mount for extended operation.
• EU-V3 supports multicamera live production with Tally and Return Signal functions.
The EVF-V50 optional viewfinder is removable for gimbal use.

Advanced Autofocus

Canon Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers high-speed continuous autofocus and reliable face detection up to 120p. The 4.3-inch LM-V2 touchscreen allows smooth touch-to-focus operation. Focus response and tracking speed are adjustable to fine-tune performance when using compatible lenses.

Dual Pixel Focus Guide

This system provides a graphical indicator showing front and back focus deviation. The indicator turns green when the subject is in focus, supporting precise manual pulls, especially in 4K.

Tracking and Face Detection AF

Touchscreen tracking lets users select a subject to follow automatically. Face Priority and Face Only modes work with Canon’s face detection technology to maintain focus on detected faces.

Electronic Image Stabilization

The EOS C500 Mark II is the first Cinema EOS model with built-in 5-axis electronic IS. It works with lenses that transmit data automatically, and users can manually input focal length when using lenses without electronic communication. Anamorphic lenses are also supported.

High Frame Rate Recording

The camera records up to 50/60 fps in 5.9K. In 2K crop mode, frame rates up to 120 fps are available. A dedicated Slow & Fast button offers quick access.

Advanced Connection Interfaces

A 12G-SDI output supports 4K 50/60p over a single cable, and HDMI also offers 4K 50/60p via a single cable. Monitor and HDMI outputs can operate simultaneously, and 12G-SDI can output 2K or Full HD when recording in 4K.

Internal ND Filter System

Built-in electronic ND filters offer 2, 4, 6, and extended 8 and 10 stops, enabling shallow-depth-of-field shooting even in bright conditions.

Improved On-Screen Display

New OSD modes allow peripheral information to be shown without covering the main image.

Anamorphic Lens Support

The camera can de-squeeze anamorphic footage directly in the viewfinder and external monitors. It supports 4:3 and 6:5 recording modes, as well as lenses with 1.3x, 1.8x, and 2x squeeze factors.

User LUT Options

Users can import their own 3D LUTs in addition to Canon’s built-in Cinema EOS LUTs. A dedicated LUT button enhances workflow convenience.

ACES Compatibility

ACES 1.0 is supported through provided Canon IDTs, allowing the camera’s images to be integrated into ACES-compatible systems. ACES Proxy monitoring is also available.

Multi-Camera Control via App

Up to four Canon professional video cameras can be controlled via a smartphone using Wi-Fi with the Canon XC protocol. The app gives access to live view and settings such as exposure, focus, zoom, record control, and format options. It supports the C70, C300 Mark III, C500 Mark II, and XF605.
