The C200 camera can record internal 4K RAW to a CFast™ 2.0 card in Canon's Cinema RAW Light format without compromising detail, as well as 4K UHD and Full HD in MP4 format to SD cards. The 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, full compatibility with Canon EF-mount lenses, and HDR capability help make the EOS C200 ideal for film, documentary, and television production or corporate and event videography, and newsgathering. The camera's multitude of features helps deliver outstanding image quality, performance, and versatility.

8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS Sensor

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera integrates an 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor that supports 4K (DCI) recording with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. The camera fully utilizes the image data delivered by this 4K CMOS sensor to also enable Over Sampling HD Processing for 2K (DCI) and Full HD 1080/60p recording.

Each pixel in this CMOS imaging sensor also maintains a wide pixel pitch that maximizes the amount of light that falls on to each photo site. This enhances the EOS C200 camera’s sensitivity while also minimizing noise and supporting ISO speeds of up to 102,400 for extreme low-light imaging. This sensor also reduces data-readout time which results in reduced rolling-shutter artifacts.

Lens Compatibility

A major aspect of the creative filmmaking potential of the EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera is its compatibility with the full range of more than 100 Canon EF and EF-S photographic lenses (including specialty tilt-shift and fisheye models) and Canon’s 4K CN-E Cinema prime and zoom lenses, including the “ENG-style” Canon CINE-SERVO and COMPACT-SERVO zooms. Improved EF lens communication capabilities of the EOS C200 camera provide:

• Display of CN-E Cinema lens T-values
• Compatibility with Dual-Pixel CMOS AF
• Lens metadata acquisition
• Chromatic aberration correction 

Iris Values

You can switch the camera display to show iris values between the F-stop and T-value. This helps those shooting on movie sets who prefer to know how much light is passing through the opening of the lens and reaching the sensor. T-values are the traditional measure of light reaching the sensor in video production, while F-stop is the measure of light in still photography. The ability to see the F-stop helps those transitioning from still to video shooting.

Built-In and On-Board Accessories

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera includes a built-in electronic viewfinder, a 4-inch Touch Screen LCD Monitor (LM-V1), Camera Grip (GR-V1), Handle Unit (HDU-2) and Battery Charger (CG-A20). The combination creates a camera package ready-to-go right out of the box.

Dual DiG!C DV 6 Image Processors

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features Canon’s newly developed dual DiG!C DV 6 image processors, which powerfully process high-resolution image data.

The two on-board DiG!C DV 6 image processors allow for the recoding of 1,800 horizontal TV lines in 4K. The DiG!C 6 is Canon’s sixth-generation Image processor that uses proprietary technology, allowing you to achieve high performance and creative freedom when acquiring images.

Over Sampling HD Processing

The EOS C200 features Over Sampling HD Processing*, a high-image-quality signal processing system to satisfy a broad spectrum of video production needs by effectively utilizing the abundant powers of 4K image expression in 2K (2048 x 1080) / Full HD (1920 x 1080) recording. During the Over Sampling HD Processing, pixels interpolated and 4K RGB data is generated together to produce 2K/HD data generated using non-additive resizing.

* NOTE: Over Sampling HD Processing is not available with Cinema TAW Light recording or 120p/100p.

Extended Sensitivity

The EOS C200 supports an ISO range of between 160 and 25,600. The range expands to between 100 to 102,400 when Extended Sensitivity is set on the camera. This range of ISO settings provide you with more creative freedom. Low ISO values allow you to use large iris settings and shallow depth of field, even in scenes of bright light. The higher ISO values provide you with more flexibility in dimly lit situations.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF (DAF) Technology. DAF is a breakthrough AF technology that uses the CMOS sensor. 

Each pixel in the camera's CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at each photosite. By implementing phase-difference AF, smooth focusing is accomplished using Canon EF lenses with much higher speed and accuracy than was possible with previous technologies. This is a major advantage during single operator shooting.

During AF, the two photodiodes of each pixel can independently bring in light. During imaging, the image signals are output using the two photodiodes that function as a single pixel.

Continuous Autofocus and Face Detection

The EOS C200 has one-touch AF (with a push-button) and continuous AF within approximately 80% of the overall image area. Face Detection AF is another autofocus mode that can track a person's face in the frame and maintain focus on them. To further fine tune autofocus performance, the EOS C200 offers the ability to set the AF tracking speed and response. The EOS C200 offers AF and face detection with all Canon EF lenses, except manual focus lenses. 

Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Touch Focus 

Achieve faster focus with the included Touch Screen LCD Monitor (LM-V1), a new accessory with touchscreen support. Tapping the area of the frame quickly brings the image into focus. This ability to choose the subject for focusing with the tap of the screen helps to make focusing intuitive. 

Dual Pixel Focus Guide

The camera's Dual Pixel Focus Guide takes advantage of Dual Pixel CMOS AF data to display focus assist information on the screen. The innovative user interface applies Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology to provide the user focus feedback. This lowers the barrier for focusing, especially when shooting in 4K, which requires strict focus accuracy. 

The Dual Pixel Focus Guide presents the user with a rectangle in which to focus the subject. The rectangle turns green when the subject is in focus. If the subject is out of focus the box will turn gray and the arrows will indicate which way to adjust the lens to regain focus.

The camera also features a focus pre-set feature. Separate predetermined focus points can be selected. Then, when the SET button is pushed, the lens will move focus from one mark to the other. This is especially useful when focusing in scenes with multiple subjects. 

AF Tuning

A newly developed menu function has been added for Auto-Focus tuning, allowing easy access to camera and lens settings. The AF Speed Tuning function allows users to set the lens drive speed to any of 10 steps. AF subject tracking characteristics can also be varied and set to any of 7 steps. These options allow you to select the appropriate responsiveness when changes have occurred with your subject.

Internal 4K RAW Recording with New Cinema RAW Light

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features Canon's newly developed Cinema RAW Light, a 4K RAW recording file format offering a smaller file size compared to Canon’s standard RAW** files, while maintaining the same high resolution, high color reproducibility, and wide dynamic range data to provide greater freedom in grading and compositing.

** NOTE: Standard RAW is found on the EOS C500/EOS C300 Mark II/EOS C700 Camera RAW

You can record DCI 4K 60p/50p with Cinema RAW Light to general-purpose media such as the CFast 2.0 card and a Proxy MP4 SD Card on the camera. Cinema RAW Light files are about 1/3 to 1/5 the size of Canon’s standard RAW files. The smaller file size and reduced bit rate speed up data transfer and allow internal recording to CFast™ cards.

The reduced file size also helps users extend storage capacity and transfer files on a network more easily. The high bit depth of Cinema RAW Light (10bit/12bit***) maximizes retention of color and dynamic range information, which is especially critical in HDR production. 

*** NOTE: 12bit for 4K/30p and under, 10bit for 4K/60p and 50p. Each bit is efficiency optimized in consideration of visual properties.

Cinema RAW Light files can be transcoded to other commonly used file formats, such as DPX or ProRes for later editing and online delivery using Canon's CRD software.

Simultaneous Recording

DCI 4K video (4096x2160) in Cinema RAW Light can be recorded to a CFast™ 2.0 card while recording 2K proxy video (2048x1080) in H.264 Long GOP UCbCr 4.2.0 to an SD card. The smaller file size of the 2K proxy file allows for easier editing. 

Internal 4K UHD and Full HD Recording in MP4

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera offers 4K UHD and Full HD recording in MP4 format, up to 60fps. The compact size of the MP4 codec allows the EOS C200 to capture images directly to low cost SD cards.

Double Slot Recording

Mirror recording of 4K UHD/Full HD MP4 image files to the camera’s two SD slots is possible, saving time and effort of having to make copies of the data after recording.

Full HD 120p/100p Slow Motion Recording Support

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera supports high-speed recording in Full HD at 120p/100p fps to enable additional creative freedom for slow motion replays and other special effects. It’s capable of a maximum 120fps, realizing even greater emotion in visual expression.

Professional Workflow

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera offers a variety of professional workflows. The camera’s new Cinema RAW Light format provides professional shooters with the widest dynamic range and highest color fidelity for post production work. Using Canon's CRD software and Canon RAW Light codec with up to 15 stops of dynamic range is achievable.

MP4 recording is also possible on the camera for situations such as newsgathering, where capturing the image and speed through post are priority.

The EOS C200 supports both ACES 1.0 and HDR imaging through support for emerging HDR standards. Canon is working closely with 3rd party developers to help ensure maximum compatibility for these new formats with NLE and grading systems. 

Canon Log 1 & Canon Log 3

The EOS C200 supports both Canon Log and Canon Log 3 Gamma. Canon Log is designed to reproduce, in post production, the entire tonal range of the CMOS image sensor. Log workflow provides the user with higher dynamic range, more highlight and shadow retention, and more flexibility in grading.

Canon Log 3 is ideal for professional end users seeking the most out of their camera system. Canon Log 3 provides the most versatility for post production, when recording in camera.

When using Canon RAW Light and Canon's RAW development software it is possible to additionally use Canon Log 2, which allows for a total of 15 stops of dynamic range out of the camera. Using this method requires additional post production time over other options yet provides the highest quality and flexibility for post.

Wide DR Gamma

The EOS C200 provides the Canon Wide Dynamic Range Gamma function that allows users to get many of the benefits of Canon Log Gamma while maintaining an 18% gray point similar to Rec. 709. By using this setting, users can maintain the full dynamic range of the sensor without the need for extensive post processing.  Use of Wide DR Gamma can greatly reduce post production time, while maintaining very high image quality. 

Canon Cinema RAW Development 2.0

Canon has developed a mature workflow for the EOS C200, Cinema RAW Development 2.0, which supports the new Cinema RAW Light format and is provided as a free download. In addition to new development process support, it also brings features from the previous release including support HDR monitoring, Canon Log Gammas, ACES 1.0 and more. 

Canon RAW Plugin for Avid Media Access
