Canon EOS R50 V combines a flexible interchangeable RF lens mount with professional filmmaking features including a 24MP sensor, 4K video, audio control and Canon Log 3.
Canon’s new EOS R50 V is designed for content producers looking for more control over their video, combining a flexible interchangeable RF lens mount with professional filmmaking features including audio control. It supports Canon Log 3, custom colour profiles and intelligent autofocus, making it suitable for various applications including livestreaming, vlogging or social media content. The camera also records 4K video with 6K oversampling to capture extra detail, and includes a vertical tripod mount and aspect markers for precise composition.
Flexibility and Control
The EOS R50 V is an interchangeable lens camera that adapts to applications ranging from expansive landscape shots to close-up work. RF and RF-S lenses are supported natively, and EF and EF-S lenses can be attached using mount adaptors. It includes customisation options such as picture styles and colour filters, as well as slow and fast movie modes for cinematic effects.
Built with a 24MP sensor and Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system, the camera achieves sharp autofocus and 4K video recording at both 60p and 30p. 6K oversampling means users can maximise the detail in 4K images. Oversampling captures video frames at the sensor’s full resolution and then resamples them in real time down to the required video resolution by changing the pixel dimensions and, without cropping the video frame, decreasing the number of pixels in the image.
The Canon Log 3 gamma curve gives colourists flexibility for grading, and four-channel audio recording supports multiple sound sources, good for interviews or multi-microphone set-ups.
Single-Operator Filming
To help users shooting solo, the EOS R50 V has a front-facing record button and a variable-angle touchscreen that makes adjusting the settings more convenient.
Also, note that the camera is compatible with the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens that has an internal power zoom that can be controlled via the camera’s zoom lever to alter the focal length smoothly.
Content can be quickly transferred to smartphones and computers via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB, to help speed up editing and sharing workflows. The dedicated LIVE button gives instant access to livestreaming options – either tethered to a computer or wirelessly using a smartphone. The camera is compatible with Canon’s Live Switcher Mobile App for multi-camera streaming set-ups with custom layouts, and direct streaming to platforms like YouTube or Facebook. www.canon.com.au
