Canon has announced a new addition to the Company’s Cinema EOS System of professional cinematography products: the EOS C200 digital cinema camera, which makes possible the on-camera recording of 4K video in MP4 and the new Cinema RAW Light. The camera is ideal for wide-ranging video productions such as movies, TV dramas and commercials, as well as news, documentaries and milestones events, for example, weddings.
The EOS C200 features the newly-developed Dual DIGIC DV 6 image processing platform that makes possible the recording of 4K video to CFast cards using the new Cinema RAW Light video format, which retains the same amount of information and degree of freedom when colour grading a Cinema RAW while achieving between one-third and one-fifth the file size, in addition to 4K MP4-format video recording to SD cards. Both of these 4K video formats are recorded on camera, thereby enabling more efficient 4K video content creation.
Using the LM-V1 touch-panel LCD monitor, users can intuitively select the subject they wish to focus on with simple touch operation. With Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which enables tracking and autofocus ideal for video capture.
The EOS C200 delivers a maximum 15-stop equivalent wide dynamic range for 4K HDR video recording in Cinema RAW Light format, and a maximum 13-stop equivalent in MP4 format that employs Canon’s proprietary Log gammas—Canon Log 3 and Canon Log. Through the use of Canon’s professional 4K displays, users can confirm ITU-R BT.2100 (PQ) - compliant HDR video on location while shooting.
