The Canon EOS R50 is a compact, lightweight mirrorless camera with a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and a DIGIC X image processor. It is slightly smaller and lighter than the EOS M50 Mark II. It records high-resolution stills and UHD 4K video, and is aimed at content creators and vloggers.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II uses 651 autofocus zones and recognizes people, animals and vehicles. It locks onto these subjects and keeps them in focus during bursts and video. Advanced A+ Assist expands the range of scenes the auto mode handles, including night views and backlit scenes.
For video, the camera records uncropped UHD 4K at up to 30 fps, based on 6K oversampling, and Full HD at up to 120 fps for slow motion. It can record continuously for up to 1 hour. Movie for Close-Up Demos mode switches focus to an object held toward the lens. Vertical movie rotation information and Aspect Markers help with framing for social media. The camera also works as a Full HD webcam without extra computer software.
