In addition, the EOS R50 V includes 14 color filters and a new Slow & Fast Motion movie mode, which allows users to create 4K slow-motion and time-lapse videos that play back at 1/2.5x speed and 60x speed, respectively. A new feature called Cinema View sets cinematic angles of view and frame rates, enabling users to create expressive, film-like movies.
