This summer, Canon will roll out several key firmware upgrades across several C or cinema series cameras. Announced ahead of NAB 2026, Canon has shared a list of new features coming across cameras like the Canon C400, C80, C50, C70 and R5 C, including the gimbal controls, exposure ramping compensation, and a refreshed level view.
Three of the cameras will soon be able to be controlled from the buttons, dials, and joysticks on compatible gimbals, thanks to an update in USB protocols. The Canon C400, C80, and C50 will gain support for DJI gimbals using USB-C, which will allow videographers to control camera settings using the controls built into the gimbal, rather than those built into the camera.
