![]() Below I’ll explain how to work around these limitations and how to set up the M50 for 4K filmmaking. ![]() This is mostly due to the high bitrate of 120 Mbps and the fact that there’s no pixel-binning or line-skipping in 4k. But the 4K image itself is actually very detailed and sharp, with great color and dynamic range. The M50’s 4K mode does need a little help to get good results though: the Dual Pixel autofocus is not available in 4K, and there’s an additional crop when switching to 4K. The affordable M50 even pioneered many of the features that were later implemented in the $2500 Canon EOS R! The M50 was the first camera to feature the DIGIC8 processor, eye-tracking Dual Pixel Autofocus, compressed RAW for stills, and where the audio preamps in Canon DSLRs are known to be quite noisy: the ones in the M50 are actually quite good! No more audio-levels hacks for this guy! ![]() All things Canons 'higher-end' DSLRs cannot do. Though it lacks Dual Pixel AF in 4K mode, it has a host of advanced features that aren’t available in any of Canons much more expensive DSLRs: there’s focus peaking, magnify and scan around (via D-pad or touch!), clean HDMI out, a flip-out touch-screen and OLED EVF, easy-to-use and high bitrate codec, customizable buttons and the best implementation of 4K timelapse I’ve seen. The Canon M50 might not look like it, but in many ways it’s a more advanced and more refined filmmaking tool than any of Canons higher end DSLRs that came before it. ![]() New!
