Catering to vloggers and content
creators, the black Canon EOS M50 Mark II is a versatile
multimedia camera with a well-rounded photo and video feature-set. Sporting
improved focusing, recording, and sharing capabilities, the M50 Mark II still
revolves around the proven 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 image
processor, which enable a quick 10 fps shooting rate, a native sensitivity
range of ISO 100-25600, and UHD 4K video recording at 23.98 fps, along with
Full HD 1080p60 and HD 720p120 for slow motion capture. Sensor-based Dual Pixel
CMOS AF has been improved with faster speeds and refined Eye Detection AF
performance, and supports both Eye Detection and Face Detection focusing modes
when working with Movie Servo AF to help keep sharp focus on the subject
matter. Additionally, Combination IS 5-axis image stabilization also helps to
realize steady, shake-free recording by minimizing the appearance of camera
shake.
Beyond just imaging, the M50 Mark II's physical design
also suits content creation, especially with the inclusion of a large 3.0"
LCD that sports a vari-angle design for 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. A 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder also
allows for high-resolution eye-level viewing, too. 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. Wireless
connectivity also permits using the M50 Mark II as a webcam when using the EOS
Webcam Utility Software. Also benefitting content creation, there is now
vertical video recording capabilities, a movie self timer function, touch
record control, and support for image.canon Cloud Service for improved workflow
efficiency.
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. Vertical
video recording is supported, too, as well as clean HDMI output for
high-resolution, high frame-rate streaming. 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.
Enhanced 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.
Additionally, Eye Detection AF can also be used with Movie Servo AF, and both
Eye and Face Detection can be used with Servo AF modes, to help keep your
subjects in focus as the center of attention.
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.

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.
