Exciting Firmware Update Unleashed for Canon's C500 Mark II

Canon C500 Mark II         Great news for filmmakers and videographers! Canon has just rolled out a new firmware update for the C500 Mark II, and it's packed with features that have been eagerly anticipated by the community!

What's New?

The latest update, available for download on March 21, 2024, introduces three new Cinema RAW Light recording modes. These additions enhance the camera's versatility by offering a total of four RAW recording options, each with 12-bit recording capabilities.

The Power of Choice

With the new firmware, users can select from the following RAW Light formats:

  • RAW Light HQ: For those who demand the highest quality.
  • RAW Light ST: A balance between quality and file size.
  • RAW Light LT: For longer recording times without compromising too much on quality.
