Canon EOS C500 Mark II + Sandisk CF express Extreme Pro 512 GB 1700 / 1400 MB/s type B

The Canon EOS C500 Mark II is a professional full frame video camera. The full frame CMOS sensor contains an effective resolution of 18.69 megapixels. This results in full frame 5.9K video output. Plus, there is the crop function for Super 35 and Super 16 image formats, with high resolution retention. The C500 Mark II comes with a Canon EF holder and features an interchangeable lens mount system, allowing you to swap the holder for an optional Cinema Locking EF or PL holder. This considerably broadens the amount of lenses that you can use with the camera. The sensor has more than 15 stops of dynamic range and support for Dual Pixel autofocus and the camera uses a DIGIC DV 7 chip for image processing.

The camera enables internal RAW shooting in 12- or 10-bit using the Canon Cinema RAW Light codec. In addition, you can also capture images in 10 bits with the XF-AVC codec. Internal recording is done via the two CFexpress card slots. Any 8-bit proxy recording in the XF-AVC codes and JPEGs can be captured on an SD card via the built-in SD card slot. There is support for a variety of gamma settings, including Canon Log 2 and Log 3. As well as support for a variety of colour gamuts, including Cinema BT.2020, DCI-P3 and legacy BT.709. Importing LUTs is of course also supported. The camera supports four channels of 24-bit, 48 kHz linear PCM audio recording.

Sensor

The full-frame CMOS sensor records low-noise images with more than 15 stops of dynamic range. The specifications of BT-2020 are surpassed by the colour gamut offered. In addition, the images are captured in various image formats, including DCI-4K, UHD and Anamorphic Widescreen. In addition to recording with the full screen size of the sensor, you can use a variety of spherical and anamorphic glass. It is designed for capturing Super 35 mm and Super 16 mm using the appropriate cropping modes, lens mounts and adapters.

DIGIC DV7 image processor

The EOS C500 Mark II uses the DIGIC DV 7 image processor that collects the extensive raw information from the 5.9K sensor. The DIGIC DV 7 enables high frame rate recording, Dual Pixel Auto Focus, Canon RAW Light Recording, HDR (PQ and HLG) output, electronic image stabilisation, proxy recording and oversampling processing. The fast DIGIC DV 7 allows the camera to simultaneously record 2K proxy files such as XF-AVC 2K 4:2:0 8-bit on an SD card, while storing Cinema RAW Light files (5.9K, 4K recording or 2K cropping) on the internal CFexpress cards.

Interchangeable lens mounts

The C500 Mark II comes standard with a Canon EF lens mount. It works with an electronic iris control for various Canon EF, ENG and Canon Cine-Servo lenses. An optional EF Cine Lock holder also features Canon's electronic EF protocols and eliminates slack when mounting EF lenses on your camera. An industry-standard PL lens mount is also available, allowing virtually any LENS with a PL lens-mount to be used on your C500 Mark II. The lens mounts can be swapped by you, and each holder comes with a set of filler plates for setting the correct depth. An optional B4 lens adapter is available for the PL or EF lens mount; With this adapter, you can use ENG-style lenses with B4 attachment on the C500 Mark II.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF with support for Touch AF and Face Detection AF

DAF technology takes advantage of the fact that each pixel in the camera's CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected and compared using phase difference to provide autofocus with compatible lenses. DAF can oversee the scene and not only recognises whether the subject is in focus or not, but in which direction (near or far) and by how much. This allows AF lenses to respond when needed, so they don't have to "hunt" for proper focus.

DAF technology can also be used to focus manually. Focus information is translated into an on-screen guide that transfers the focus and direction of movement from the person to the operator to achieve clarity. When a clear focus is achieved, the indicator turns green for a clear indication.

You can also use DAF and the camera's touchscreen LCG to simulate a focus pull with preset locations. After setting two separate focus locations on the screen, the camera's adjustment button can be used to switch between the two focus points. The focus stretch effect can be refined by adjusting the AF tracking speed and response.
