Jaguar F-PACE gives new Canon EOS camera a workout

Jaguar has teamed up with Canon Europe to capture the F-PACE in cinematic 5.9K clarity using the latest camera technology. Dynamic footage of Jaguar's performance SUV was captured during the professional debut of the new Canon EOS C500 Mark II camera.

The film captures the F-PACE range, including the F-PACE SVR, and its breadth of luxury and performance. The 542bhp, supercharged V8 SVR model showcased its dynamic ability, courtesy of its specially tuned chassis, on the twisting hairpin bends of Velefique in southern Spain. The SVR accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds.

Jaguar also worked with Canon to build the ultimate camera vehicle for the shoot.

The crew rigged an F-PACE with a highly-advanced Russian Arm - a remote-controlled camera crane - fitted with Canon's new EOS camera. The vehicle was covered in a purposeful matte black body wrap to minimise reflections in the subject vehicles during filming.

The F-PACE features double-wishbone front and an integral link rear suspension to provide dynamic handling and comfort, attributes which helped the camera rig maintain its composure on the twisting mountain roads.

The Advanced Electronic Image Stabilisation of the Canon EOS C500 Mark II and Dual Pixel Auto Focus functionality ensured both SUVs remained perfectly in focus throughout, with the camera suspended from the highly manoeuvrable arm of the crane system.

The new camera shoots 5.9K quality footage at up to 60 frames per second. When travelling at its 283km/h top speed, the F-PACE SVR covers 78.7m every second, which means the performance SUV would travel just 1.31m in the time taken for the advanced new camera to capture a single frame.
