Canon Expands its Cinema Camera Range with the EOS C50 and the Widest Cine-Servo Lens CN5 x 11 IAS T
HONG KONG, 10th September 2025 — Canon announced today the launch of the new Cinema EOS camera EOS C50 and the widest-ever Cine-Servo lens – CN5 x 11 IAS T/ R1 with RF mount and CN5 x 11 IAS T/P1 with PL mount.
EOS C50 is a highly versatile, full-frame, RF-mount hybrid cinema EOS camera for professional videographers and agile production crews. As the smallest camera in the Cinema EOS range to date, the EOS C50 fits seamlessly into a wide variety of filming set-ups – from fast-paced shoots to large scale productions. Its compact design, however, conceals a wealth of professional capabilities. At the heart of the EOS C50’s unique design is a new 7K full-frame CMOS sensor which, together with an advanced DIGIC DV 7 processor, delivers outstanding image quality for both video and stills – including 7K Open Gate 30p 12-bit Cinema RAW Light, high frame rate recording at up to 4K 120p / 2K 180p[1], Simultaneous Crop Recording to create vertical formats for social media and detailed 32MP high-resolution photos.
The new CN5 x 11 IAS T is the widest-ever Cine-Servo lens with ultra-wide 11mm focal length and expansive 100-degree angle of view. It is a flexible choice for confined studio setups and dynamic live events, where framing both the subject and setting is essential. Available in either RF or PL mount, the new lens features the latest e-Xs V Digital Drive Unit for superior control and functionality. At approximately 3kg, the CN5 x 11 IAS T is the most lightweight lens in Canon's Cine-Servo lineup – ideal for gimbals, cranes, robotics and wire cams. Camera operators shooting shoulder-mounted will also appreciate its reduced weight.
Canon is also delighted to announce a range of significant free-of-charge firmware updates for existing Cinema EOS cameras coming later this year. This includes the addition of 3:2 Open Gate RAW Recording at 6000x4000 resolution to the EOS C400, View Assist during Playback on the EOS C80, among other improvements to core features such as focus peaking on both cameras, as well as the EOS R5 C and EOS C70.

[1] When 2K 120-180p is selected in Full-frame mode, the angle of view is cropped by approx. 12%. When "Sensor Mode" is set to "Full Frame" and the shooting frame rate exceeds 60p, the number of pixels read from the sensor decreases, which may make moire, false colors, and jaggies more visible.
[2] When recording in XF-AVC, XF-HEVC S, or XF-AVC S, when sensor mode is set to Full Frame and frame rate is 60p/50p or less
[3] Only when a lens compatible with the focusing area of 90% x 100% (horizontal x vertical) is attached to the camera while the Whole Area AF is active or the subject is detected by the setting other than Whole Area AF. Depending on the conditions of the scene or the subject, this setting may not respond as intended. For details on compatible lenses, please refer to Canon Website.
[4] When eyes, face, or head are hidden during AF tracking, the body is detected and tracking continues
[5] Detection of animals other than dogs, cats and birds are not supported
[6] When using Digital IS, the shooting range becomes narrower. The image will also become grainy as it will be enlarged
[7] Support RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ, Lenses with Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1 or PZ-E2/PZ-E2B attached, Cine-Servo lenses & Compact Servo lenses as of Sep 2025
[8] Continuous shooting speed may be slower depending on subject/shooting conditions or the camera setup or the lens used, etc. For information on lenses that support the maximum continuous shooting speed, please refer to Canon Website
[9] Only when a lens compatible with the focusing area of 90% x 100% (horizontal x vertical) is attached to the camera while the Whole Area AF is active or the subject is detected by the setting other than Whole Area AF. Depending on the conditions of the scene or the subject, this setting may not respond as intended. For details on compatible lenses, please refer to Canon Website.
[10] Effectiveness varies depending on the subject. In some cases, dogs, cats, horses or birds may not be detected, while some animals other than dogs, cats, horses or birds may be detected.
[11] The vehicle detection may not function for some subjects. Or, subjects, which are not automobile, motorcycle, train, airplane or helicopter, may be detected as vehicles. Spot detection may not work properly depending on the subject. The camera may also operate spot-detecting areas that are neither a driver nor rider helmet, as well as neither a train driver cab nor an aircraft cockpit.
[12] Due to factors such as face brightness, size, facial expression, movement, and blockage of part of the face, the detection accuracy may decrease.
[13] Electronic shutter only. Not available when the shutter speed is slower than 0.5 sec. Other restrictions apply
[14] Equipped with RF mount
[15] Equipped with PL mount
