RENT Canon EOS C500 Mark II Cinema PL Camera Kit with Gold Mount Battery and EVF Viewfinder

EOS C500 Mark II
Impressive usability and imaging power combine in theEOS C500 Mark II, the customizable full frame cinema camera that's built for creative freedom.

The lightweight body comes equipped with Canon's 5.9K full-frame CMOS sensor capable of over 15 stops of dynamic range. The newly developed DIGIC DV 7 Image Processor expands functionality and flexibility by enabling features such as 5.9K recording, internal recording of Canon Cinema RawLight and Dual Pixel Autofocus.

5.9K Full Frame CMOS Sensor, with support for Super 35mm and Super 16mm crop modes
The Cinema EOS C500 MarkII features Canon's high-resolution 5.9K (38.1 x 20.1mm) Full Frame CMOS sensor,which offers exceptional low noise and a broad range of tonality with over 15 stops of dynamic range. The sensor's expansive native Cinema Gamut goes beyond that of current standards, including ITU-R BT.2020 and DCI-P3, helping the EOS C500 Mark II achieve more natural skin tones.

User Changeable Lens Mounts which gives users freedom to use the lenses they desire
User interchangeable lens mounts and an available B4 mount adapter gives operators the freedom to make bold creative choices based on the subject matter.

Each mount swaps easily by simply removing four M3 hex screws.

Canon Cinema RAW Light and XF-AVC Recording
Thanks to the powerful DIGIC DV 7 image processing platform, the EOS C500 Mark II can record Cinema RAW Light directly to onboard CFexpress cards, which keeps the data-rich signal captured by the 5.9K full-frame sensor intact. Cinema RAW Light offers plenty of freedom for grading in file sizes that are about 1/3 to 1/5 the size of Cinema RAW.

4 Channel Audio Recording
With Expansion Unit EU-V2, the EOS C500 Mark II supports up to 4-channel audio recording. Audio input from the camera's internal microphone, mini mic port, and XLR ports can be assigned to the 4 different audio channels. This flexibility allows a wide range of audio devices to be connected and mixed directly on the camera.

The EOS C500 Mark II supports Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 Gamma. In post-production, Canon Log is designed to reproduce the entire tonal range that the CMOS image sensor is capable of. Log workflows provide the user with higher dynamic range, more highlight and shadow retention,and more flexibility in grading.Canon Log 2 provides the largest dynamic range and image detail. While Canon Log 2 provides the most post-production flexibility and full dynamic range of the sensor, it typically requires more time in color correction.

DAF can simulate a focus pull using preset locations. After setting two separate focus locations on screen, the cameras setbutton can be used to alternate between the two focus points. The focus racking effect can be fine-tuned by adjusting AF tracking speed and response.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF with support for Touch AF and Face Detection AF
The Cinema EOS C500 Mark II features Canon's Dual Pixel CMOSAF Technology. For DAF, each pixel in the camera's CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at eachphotosite and compared using phase-difference to provide autofocus with compatible lenses.

DAF can survey the scene and recognizes not only whether the subject is in focus or not, but in which direction (near or far), and by how much. DAF technology can also be used to aid in manual focus. Focus information is translated to an on-screen guide that conveys to the operator thesubjects current focus and direction to move in order achieve focus. When sharp focus is achieved the indicator turns green as a clear indication.

Expansion Unit 2 - EU-V2
This unit converts the EOSC500 Mark II from a compact powerhouse to a full production camera system ready for anything. EU-V2 adds two additional XLR audio inputs, Lens port, 24-volt DC out, and D-Tap power, in addition to Genlock, sync out, Remote B (RS422) and Ethernet port. It also allows the camera to be powered using industry standard v-lock batteries.

EVF-V50 OLED Electronic Viewfinder
The EVF-V50 OLED electronic viewfinder is a tilting 0.46" approx. 1.77 million dot OLED EVF that offers outstanding visibility for single-operator applications, such as documentaries and outdoor interviews.

Modular Design with three available Expansion Units to give a high level of connectivity and interoperability
A new modular design allows productions to optimize and customize the EOS C500 Mark II to specific shooting needs. Accessories and expansion units can be easily attached to provide different levels of functionality. The camera is equally at home fully rigged with a large zoom lens, FIZ unit, audio accessories and rangefinderas it is stripped down flying on a drone.

Anamorphic Lens Support
The EOS C500 Mark II offers cinematographers anamorphic lens support. Users can now achieve wide cinematic looks and oval bokeh particular toanamorphic glass. It is a distinctly cinematic palette that is within reach for your next project.

To accurately record the extensive data produced by the 5.9K imaging sensor and provide greater recording times, the EOS C500 Mark features two CFexpress recording slots. CFexpress is the future of onboard recording media providing write speeds needed for higher resolutions and frame rates. The dual card slots can be used to either create an instantaneous backup thorough simultaneous recording or extend record run times by relay recording.
