The EOS R50 V was designed through creator feedback to solve many of the pain points of creators. Its’ exterior was completely redesigned to be bold, modern, and untraditional in appearance. An appearance that clearly indicates that this camera is meant to be taken with you wherever your videos take you! The convenience and power of this camera goes far beyond portability. Enjoy smooth powered zooming with an on camera zoom lever (for Power Zoom compatible lenses), a 3-micrphone array for clear audio and unwanted noise reduction, and the latest Canon Multi-function shoe to attach and power additional compatible accessories.

As a product made for today’s video content creator, it comes equipped with both a vertical and horizontal tripod mount. These are available on the side of the camera’s grip, and also on the bottom of the camera body. When in Movie mode, the on-screen menu’s automatically rotate based on the camera’s orientation.

Since many creators spend a lot of time in-front of the camera, two Record buttons are available, one on the front of the camera so you can start your recording with confidence when vlogging, and another in the traditional Shutter button position when you’re behind the camera. Additionally, it is equipped with a red tally (visible from the front and top of the camera), and an LCD screen that displays a red-coloured recording emphasis border around your LCD image to let you know when the camera is actively recording, so you or your subject are never surprised.

The EOS R50 V comes equipped with a zoom lever allowing Power Zoom lenses such as the RF14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens to be controlled at the camera body. Control of the zoom speed can be fully customized in the camera’s menu allowing separate control of the speed for before recording, and separately for during recording. The camera also comes equipped with Mic, Headphone, and an E3 Remote port.

A new mode dial experience now features 7-different video focused modes at your fingertips. Newcomers to video can utilize the fully Automatic video exposure mode functionality, including the Scene mode featuring a dedicated video mode for “close-up demos” perfect for Video, or Small Business Creators doing E-commerce product demonstrations. This mode is ideal for creators who want to present a object close to the lens, and quickly have the focus return back to them. There’s also a mode dedicated to Movie Image Stabilization – for those recording vlogs on the go. And because appearance is important on-camera, a dedicated Smooth Skin movie mode is also included.

New to the EOS R50 V mode dial is the Slow and Fast mode – selecting this mode allows creative control of both the video frame rate and playback speed separately and in-camera, for slow-motion recordings, or fast-motion time-lapse sequences. Simply select your recording resolution of UHD 4K, UHD 4K Crop or Full-HD, then select your frame rate with options as fast as 59.94p in 4K Crop, or 119.8p in Full-HD, then simply determine your playback speed your desiring to match your project.

The EOS R50 V camera is built not just for newcomers to video, but also for advanced creators. High-end features like Canon Log 3, HLG, PQ and Canon709 recording to deliver rich colour at up to 4:2:2 10 bit.

A new Colour Filter mode has also been added providing 14 different colour options, accompanying the well-known Picture Style menu. And now creating cinematic aspect ratio video is easier than ever with the new Cinema View mode, which creates a “letterboxed” cinematic 2.35:1 aspect ratio video.

Simply take a photo of your subject to register them, and they’ll be prioritized over other subjects in the scene based on your ranking, so the important subjects in your videos and photos will be in focus.
