 This is an introductory video into the C500 Mk II where we'll also be going through an overview and also the menu structure and in-depth into connectivity and how the menus are laid out and a lot about the camera itself and how it could serve as a great B-cam to the C700 With some a mesh card test footage and the cuts between and the C700 and the C500 Mk II so you can see practical Scenarios. Taking a look at the camera you could see the buttons They remain the same following the Canon format that they've employed in the C300 and Most similar to the C200 though, although they alter the fan intake that was in the C200 right side It's actually very disturbing if you're on the shoulder rig both the inlet and the outlets are now on the other side of the Camera if you say if when you get to like see the camera and this the C500 Mk II actually now comes the ability to actually Change the mouth just like you could find in the red So you can switch the PL mouth you can switch to and you have mouth So you actually open up the world of possibility and lenses with the dual card slots that actually available on the camera and the back Modules that actually make it possible to fit other models into the camera on the backside of the camera You could take off and install different models. Also BP-60 batteries that actually can help out the camera when actually recording roll camera has two available slots when recording and You also have a bunch of in and out ports like the monitor out the SDI out time codes remote Recording remotely mics and headphones and two acceleros which makes the camera on the basic packages ready to shoot literally out of the box Just slapping any lens you have on it and up you go So we we changed from the EF mouth to the PL mouth to be able to like try out the summary zone Did the summary test if you've not seen the video, please go check the link Check our channel for the video will compare the senior lens versus the summary glass and it was amazing there so This open up award of possibilities after Putting on the pill now because you could literally put a cook there You could put an anamorphic glass in there It has the anamorphic months of the squeeze and you could actually now there's not a single cable rather than double cable in the previous It was 500 Mach 2 there's not a single cable that actually takes both the video signal directly to the monitor And the audio has been removed from the top of the monitor and back into the back of the camera So you could see how very compact it is and you could actually move it's almost as small as the C 200 But it has the firepower that's cause The C 700 in the capabilities so gimbal application and all that you can strip this camera to the bare bone And you could actually put it on on on a running S with one of your steel glass and that's a possibility So kind of as updated the C 500 Mach 2's menu structure It's not looking like the C 300 Mach 2 But it's not more looking closely to the C 200 on the camera tab this page has seven tabs That will have iris, ND, shutter, auto white balance, grip zoom mode, ABB Which is auto black balance that's great for actually reducing noise sensor, color bars and any and the new digital image stabilization That was also added in this first camera tab The second tab is for custom pictures where you can load and create your own custom pictures On the recording and media setup tab with the four tabs You can initialize the media, set the sensor, record formats, slow and fast motion Which you could also access with a quick button on the camera's body And you could also set pre-recording settings, change your resolutions and call sampling when you're asked on XAVC As opposed to RAW And there's something you should know about RAW When recording RAW you can go below 800 ISO You can only stop at 800 ISO But in XAVC you can come down to 400 ISO So it has also recording modes for like double-slot recording or relay recording And you could also set the camera metadata The audio tab allows you to do all your audio setups within the five tabs Whereby you can configure more channels and configure them into the manner that works for you On the monitor setup tab, we have 12 tabs that have functions that allows you to control the viewfinder The LCD and Muffin displays and the output and on-screen display settings Also on this tab, that's where you can load your own custom lots And also apply the lots that are actually pre-available in the camera On the 16th function tab, we have 10 tabs where you can access and tweak settings for the picking, magnification, force color Which is one of the amazing tools of this camera, which you could remap into And easy to get button on the front side of the camera I usually change that from my zebra to force color And also have zebra settings way from VectorScoven markers that could serve as frame guides The night force acting has two tabs for connecting I sign up for buttons as the name goes This is where you could actually change custom functions of the initial button to something new And on the system settings, you could actually go there and program date, time, output resolution, genlock, timecode Dial your settings, keylock, tally, fan, and all the warnings that you would like to actually program This is where you could also save your camera settings If you have multiple C500s, you could easily program one And just take an SD card, load it into the SD card and go use the program all On the menu settings, this is where you load, you can actually customize things you get too quickly And you load your settings So if you're actually coming to the camera and digging into this, I'm just going to my menu And all the regular settings you actually use before, you could actually access it We actually use the C500 as a big cam to the C700 And some of the demo clips are put together to see how it can serve as a great big cam So I hope you do like this video and I hope it was useful to you If it was useful to you, please subscribe and leave a comment below on what you think as a C500 against a big cam against the C700 If you could watch the footage and you could pick points which is the C500 and which is the C700 That'd be a great thing to do though But both of them were actually shot in the MXF codec for it to be similar because in the C700 I didn't have the codec so I couldn't record raw and compare both rows together But we could actually shoot MXF together So tell me what you think about the film or you think about the video that was cut together and see if there's any obvious difference And how you think this camera could fit into your workflow Until next time, improvise, adapt, overcome and don't forget to subscribe
