Canon Updates EOS C500 Mark II
The firmware update adds three new Cinema Raw Light formats that provide 12-bit recording at all frame rates.
Canon U.S.A., Inc., has released a firmware update for the EOS C500 Mark II that enhances its Cinema Raw Light capabilities.
Until now, the EOS C500 Mark II was able to shoot 12-bit raw video at up to 30 fps, and 10-bit at frame rates beyond that. The update adds three new Cinema Raw Light formats that will provide 12-bit recording at all frame rates: Cinema Raw Light LT (light recording), ST (standard quality) and HQ (high quality).
Canon’s proprietary Cinema Raw Light format offers a significant reduction in file size without sacrificing image quality or grading and compositing headroom. Available on all four current Cinema EOS models, the format allows filmmakers to realize the widest dynamic range of the camera's sensor in a file that's approximately 1/3-1/5 the size of a standard raw file.
