The Canon EOS R50 Stills Capabilities
The Canon EOS R50 is the perfect photographic tool for creators wanting to improve their photographic skills and evolve from smartphone content creation. The R50’s impressive autofocus coverage is thanks to the high-powered, highly responsive Dual Pixel AF II autofocusing system. Its automatic subject detection and tracking can automatically identify subjects and keep them locked onto your screen as you work.
Thanks to the R50’s 24.2-million-pixel CMOS (APS-C) image sensor and DIGIC X Image Processor, you can capture stunning images with reduced noise, create beautiful photographs with natural bokeh and capture highly detailed work in low-light settings.
With 12 frames per second of continuous shooting when using the Electronic First Curtain shutter mode and up to 15 frames per second when shooting in Electronic Shutter mode, you’ll never miss a moment when shooting with the incredible Canon EOS R50.
Should you find yourself in difficult shooting settings, the R50’S Advanced A+ Assist will help you get that shot. With an expanded array of auto-compatible scenes, the Advanced A+ Assist helps to reduce overexposure, create stunning images and helps you capture detailed macro photography with a deeper depth of field.
The Canon EOS R50 Video Capabilities
The Canon EOS R50 features 6K oversampled uncropped 4K movies at up to 30 fps, Full-HD movie recording at up to 120 fps, Dual Pixel CMOS AF tracking, and more, making it an excellent tool for budding filmmakers and vloggers.
You can now record up to 1 hour with the R50, allowing you to keep the camera rolling uninterrupted. The R50’s UVC/UAC compatibility can be used as a webcam to stream live videos in Full HD 30fps to your adoring fans. Creating content for social media? You’ll be pleased to know that your movie rotation information can be set during or after recording. The camera does, however, lack an In-Body Image-Stabiliser; instead, it has a Digital Image-Stabiliser. When filming handheld, creators may notice some camera shake and distortion.
Camera Ergonomics
Lightweight and compact, the Canon EOS R50 weighs in at 329G. The camera fits perfectly in one hand; however, those with larger hands may experience difficulty with the camera’s small grip. The R50 has a 3.0-inch, 1.62 million dot Clear View Vari-angle Touchscreen LCD, a high-precision 0.39-inch OLED EVF with approx. 2.36 million dots and a 22mm eyepoint. It supports wired and wireless connections to your digital devices via its USB Type-C port, built-in Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technology. It has a rechargeable LPE-17 battery capable of capturing 440 images when shooting through the LCD and 310 shots when shooting through the viewfinder.
