Equipped with a 5.9K full-frame sensor that realizes a dynamic range of up to 15 stops¹, the EOS C500 Mark II makes possible high-quality image capture, even in environments with drastic differences in light and dark values, while also achieving a compact, lightweight body design. Furthermore, equipped with the newly developed DIGIC DV 7 high-speed image-processing platform, the camera makes possible 5.9K/60p, 4K/60p and 2K/120p recording.

Employing Cinema RAW Light, a video format that allows for reduced file sizes while retaining video information, the EOS C500 Mark II makes possible the internal recording of RAW data without the use of an external recorder. The camera also supports XF-AVC, a video format that efficiently records compressed video data. Media can be recorded to CFexpress Type B cards and UHS-II SD cards², a first for Canon cinema cameras and video camcorders. Additionally, the camera supports the HDR standards HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), which is suitable for broadcast and live streaming, and PQ (Perceptual Quantization), which is suitable for movie production and distribution online.

Users can change the lens mount of the EOS C500 Mark II from an EF mount to an EF Cinema lock mount or PL mount by themselves using a mount kit (sold separately) to match their shooting environment. What’s more, with the attachment of an extension unit (sold separately), the camera can support a variety of different shooting styles, including shooting with multiple cameras and drone shooting, which requires remote control.

1 Dynamic range is measured in units called stops. With the increase of one stop, the luminance range that can be captured during shooting is doubled. The maximum number of stops available differs depending on recording mode.
2 Cinema RAW Light recording only possible with CFexpress Type B cards.
