Comprising a versatile feature-set to suit both stills and video
applications, the white EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera from Canon separates
itself from the pack with UHD 4K video recording, a high-resolution electronic
viewfinder, and improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Eye Detection AF. Utilizing a
24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 image processor, improved Auto Lighting
Optimizer helps to ensure clean image quality with low noise, along with top 10
fps shooting rate and a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-25600, which can be
extended to ISO 51200 for working in low-light conditions. The sensor and
processor combination also enables UHD 4K video recording at 23.98 fps, along
with Full HD 1080p60 and HD 720p120 for slow motion capture. The sensor's
design also facilitates Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which uses phase-detection
autofocus for quick, accurate, and smooth performance to suit both stills and
video use. Additionally, Combination IS 5-axis image stabilization also helps
to realize steady, shake-free recording by minimizing the appearance of camera
shake.
Complementing the imaging attributes, the EOS M50
also incorporates a 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder and a 3.0"
touchscreen LCD for intuitive control. The screen's vari-angle design permits
working from high and low working angles and its touchscreen interface allows
working with Touch and Drag AF for easier manipulation of the AF area.
Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC is available for quick and convenient
pairing with a smartphone or tablet for wireless image sharing, and Bluetooth
is also featured for image sharing to and remote camera control from a mobile
device.
24.1MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 8 Image Processor
Both a 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 image processor are used to
deliver high sensitivity and fast camera performance to suit both stills and
video applications. A flexible ISO 100-25600 range, with an expandable ISO
51200 setting, suits working in a variety of lighting conditions, and the
processing capabilities minimize noise and afford Auto Lighting Optimizer for
notable clarity in various shooting situations. UHD 4K video recording is also
supported at 23.98 fps, along with Full HD 1080p60 and HD 720p120 settings for
slow motion recording. Additionally, the processor affords a 10 fps continuous
shooting rate, fast camera startup time, and short interval times between each
frame for a more intuitive and efficient shooting process.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers smooth and fast focusing performance in a
similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus. This system integrates two
separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and dense network of
phase-detection gathering elements across a majority of the image sensor to
reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus placement. When
working with still imagery, this focusing system works to acquire focus quickly
and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and tracking moving
subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot. Eye Detection AF
can also be used for portraiture, and helps to prioritize focus on a subject's
eye for ensured sharpness.
When shooting video, a Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing
when changing from different subjects or different distances within the scene,
as well as the ability to specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face
Tracking priority. Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible simply
by touching elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order to change
focus in an intuitive manner. Subject tracking in movies is also heightened due
to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system's ability to recognize subjects and maintain
focus when working within changing or cluttered scenery.
Combination IS
Combination IS uses the built-in 5-axis digital image stabilization in
conjunction with lens-based image stabilization systems to effectively minimize
the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. This benefits
recording while walking or moving, and can also be used in conjunction with
lenses featuring optical IS for more effective overall stabilization.
Body Design and Wireless Connectivity
EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens
Included with the camera body is the versatile standard zoom EF-M
15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, which provides a 24-72mm equivalent focal length
range. Three aspherical elements help to control chromatic aberrations and
distortions throughout the zoom range and an optimized lens placement works to
reduce flare and ghosting. An Optical Image Stabilizer works to minimize the
appearance of camera shake by up to 3.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting and
an STM stepping motor provides fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus
performance.
