Yes. The C50 is compatible with Canon’s RF 5.2mm f2.8L Dual Fisheye lens and works with Canon’s EOS VR Utility and Plugin. This compatibility enables users to record immersive 180° VR video directly onto the camera and process it for use in VR production pipelines.

Question 6

How good is the EOS C50’s battery life?

Accepted Answer

The camera comes with an LP-E6P battery pack, which provides full functionality, including network communication and HDR assist. It also accepts LP-E6NH packs, although these have restrictions on certain features. For extended shooting, users can power the camera via the DR-E6P or DR-E6C DC couplers with the AC Adapter CA-946, or through USB-C with the PD-E2 power adapter. The EOS C50 is also compatible with the optional BG-R20 battery grip.

Question 8

Can the camera be used for live streaming or remote production?

Yes. The built-in Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) supports IP streaming in multiple formats, including UDP, RTP, SRT, and RTSP. The USB-C terminal delivers UVC output for direct video streaming and UAC audio class support for 16-bit/48 kHz audio. With an optional USB-C Ethernet adapter, users can establish a wired connection, and the camera applies custom LUTs for accurate colour in live productions.
