From there we successively underexpose the studio scene by increasing the shutter speed to 180°, 90°, 45°, 22.5° and finally 11.25° (5 stops underexposure). This gives a base exposure of 360° shutter at f4.0 at ISO800 (UHD 25fps) – our 0 stops under baseline (internal noise reduction “off” for all tests). 60% luma value on the waveform monitor, the white sheet of paper below the color checker comes in at around 65%. As ususal, we exposed Nino’s face at max. Latitude is the capability of a camera to retain detail and colors while over- or underexposing the image.

This is the best result we have measured on a full frame sensor so far! For full frame sensors we haven’t seen a value below 20ms yet, 22ms was quite good already (e.g. Seems like we are jumping from one fantastic result to the next – the rolling shutter at 6K RAW (5952×3140, 17:9) comes in at a strong 15.8ms – see figure 3 below. Using our strobe light at 300Hz, we get a sequence of black and white bars due to the nature of read out of CMOS sensors. Hence, the dynamic range results from IMATEST are lower – indicating a rather “untouched” image by any in-camera processing. And got the same result as with other recent raw cameras before: using plain raw without any postprocessing, the images are very noisy. Now you may ask why I have not used the internal 6K RAW (5952×3140) to test the dynamic range? Well, I did.

2: Waveform plot of the Xyla21 stepchart from the Canon C500 Mark II at 25fps, UHD, 10bit XF-AVC codec (CLOG2 / C.Gamut) at ISO 800 – about 13 stops can be identified above the noise floor! This result comes directly behind the ARRI Alexa (14 stops), and is the second-highest value we measured so far – pushing the Panasonic S1H (12.7 stops) from the second to third place!įig. The dynamic range of the C500 Mark II using the internal 10bit XF-AVC codec at UHD 25fps using Canon Log2 / C.Gamut (Color Matrix “Neutral”) shows a very strong 13.1 stops at a signal to noise ratio of 2, see figure 1 below (noise reduction “off”). Please have a look at how we test dynamic range of cameras here. So without further delay lets jump right into the lab test … Dynamic Range Result of the Canon C500 Mark II at ISO 800 Will it take the crown in our lab tests? Read on …Ī lot has been said and done on the Canon C500 Mark II already, for example by my colleagues Nino or Ollie here or here.

This day had finally arrived when the Canon C500 Mark II was available in the cinema5D headquarters earlier this year. Having tested now various mirrorless full-frame cameras for the last 2 years in our cinema5D lab, I was really curious to put a “real” cinema camera with a full-frame sensor through the paces one day.
