Excellent low-light images

The CR-N500 produces high-quality images with low noise, even at a minimum illumination of 1.5 lux. Its large 1.0-type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 processor ensure reliable image quality even in the most challenging lighting conditions. IP streaming and control to transform your production

Dual Pixel CMOS AF keeps it sharp

The CR-N500 features Canon's renowned Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus system that offers extremely fast and accurate focusing through several modes.

Focus Assist

Indicates via a visual display whether the subject is in focus when the focus is operated manually.

Face Priority/Face Only AF

Automatically detects faces and tracks focus on the selected subject.

Touch AF

Using remote camera control application software, users can select a subject to focus on specifically.

Precise Auto Tracking in 4K

Take advantage of face/head detection to automatically track the main speaker as they move across the stage. With multiple adjustments, settings such as composition size, tracking sensitivity, exclusion zones, priority display area and more, you can easily set the ideal tracking.

Intelligent Auto Loop\*\*

Program repeated pan, tilt and zoom movements of the camera to track repeating live actions consistently and accurately thanks to Canon's advanced control mechanism. Experience the flexibility to programme movements with the ability to initialise a loop forward and backward, eliminating the need for camera control. Five automatic motion loops can be registered, which can be easily created or modified thanks to a user-friendly interface. (\*\*Paid licence required)

Comprehensive connectors for ease of use
