The power to create: 4K, RAW, CANON Log Gamma
The powerful compact EOS C500 PL offers 4K video recording, RAW data output and Log Gamma CANON for high-quality videos with a wide dynamic range. The PL mount is compatible with industry standard lenses.
An 8.85 MP Super 35mm CMOS sensor, designed and manufactured by CANON specifically for video recording, delivers excellent high-resolution images with high sensitivity and low noise; features that minimize the effects of the rolling shutter and provide a wonderful shallow depth of field.
The C500 offers 10-bit 4K, RGB 2K (4:4:4, 10/12-bit) or Full HD RGB RAW data output to an external third-party device that supports frame rates of up to 60P. Two additional SDI outputs allow connection to an external monitor. Simultaneously record Full HD MXF files to CF cards for use as proxies in desktop editing.
The industry-standard PL mount is compatible with a wide variety of interchangeable lenses that have already been used in professional film, television and video production, as well as CANON's own 4K cinema lenses. 3 built-in electronic ND filters increase shooting versatility.
Ultra-compact, a basic recording setup weighs as little as 1,930g (no lens). A removable multi-angle LCD panel ensures maximum maneuverability and the solid, splash-resistant body has been manufactured with magnesium alloy components for additional rigidity and strength.
Broadcast-ready MPEG-2 MXF recording files at 50 Mbps (4:2:2) on two CF memory cards, with uninterrupted and simultaneous recording options. Industry-standard outputs include HD-SDI and timecode features, Genlock and sync terminals for multi-camera captures.
Images with improved sensitivity and low noise can be captured at speeds up to 20,000 ISO, allowing them to be used in almost all shooting situations.
Recording with CANON Log offers neutral image quality with a wide dynamic range (12 stops latitude with a base setting of 850 ISO) for maximum freedom in post-production.
PAL, NTSC, and 24.00p modes are included as standard. Support for frame rates of up to 120p at both 4K and 2K resolution enables high-speed (slow-motion) video recording in high resolution.
Use the optional Wi-Fi Adapter (WFT-E6) to start and stop recording, preview images, and control camera settings such as ISO, white balance, and ND filters using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a simple browser-based user interface.
