Full-Frame Versatility
The C500 Mark II’s full-frame sensor provides a wider field of view and shallower depth of field compared to Super 35 cameras, offering a more immersive cinematic aesthetic. Experiment with various full-frame lenses to fully exploit this capability.
Cinema RAW Light Workflow
Utilizing internal Cinema RAW Light recording offers maximum flexibility in post-production for color grading and effects. Ensure your post-production workflow (hardware and software) is capable of handling these robust files efficiently.
Interchangeable Mount System
The ability to swap between EF and PL mounts makes this camera highly adaptable. Plan which mount you’ll need for your chosen lenses before the shoot to ensure smooth setup.

Leverage the camera’s modular design to configure it precisely for your shooting needs. This could mean a stripped-down setup for handheld or gimbal work, or a fully built-up studio configuration with various accessories.
Dual Pixel AF in Action
Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF is reliable for certain situations, especially in documentary or run-and-gun scenarios. Test its performance with your chosen lenses to understand its capabilities and limitations for your specific project.
Built-in NDs
Take advantage of the internal electronic ND filters for quick exposure adjustments in changing light conditions, saving time compared to swapping external filters.
