Canon finally goes open gate as key cinema cameras get a list of new firmware features

The full sensor open gate format is coming to Canon cameras. Alongside the launch of the new mirrorless cinema camera, the Canon EOS C50, Canon is bringing open gate to the C400 via a firmware update before the end of the year. The launch also comes with firmware tweaks expected for the C80, C70 and R5C cameras.

The newly announced Canon EOS C50 includes open gate among its list of features, yet the camera is more of an entry to the cinema line, poised under models like the C80. But with the launch, Canon says that it is also bringing open gate capabilities to the C400 via upcoming firmware.
