Highlights of the Camera The Canon EOS C200 / EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera is the latest camera in the highly-respected Cinema EOS line. Cinema EOS cameras are increasingly relied upon by industry professionals due to their state-of-the-art technology and the cameras' high quality. The C200 / C200B continues that tradition by offering many features that will help you articulate your creative vision. 3 4K Recording System with Cinema Quality Advanced 4K-compatible Super-35mm-equivalent CMOS sensor At the heart of the camera is a Super-35mmequivalent CMOS sensor and two DIGIC DV 6 image processors, which enable the camera to capture and process video at an effective pixel count of 8.85 megapixels (4096x2160) and offer a center resolution of 1,800 TV lines1. The sensor integrates noise-reduction technology that allows you to record video at sensitivity levels from ISO 160 to ISO 256002. 1 Varies depending on the lens used. 2 The ISO speed range can be extended up to ISO 100 on one end, and ISO 102400 on the other. Interchangeable lenses Enjoy the freedom of using interchangeable lenses to achieve the look you want. The C200 / C200B features an EF lens mount allowing you to use over 100 high-quality lenses from the Canon Cinema Lens series and EF Lens series. Multiple recording formats The camera offers you a choice of the recording format, depending on your project's requirements. The camera records 4K RAW data using the newly developed Cinema RAW Light3 (hereafter, referred to as RAW) format, directly to the CFast Card. The RAW data that the camera records is a proprietary format and is even suitable as HDR source material. The second recording format is XF-AVC, which boasts high compression while maintaining high video quality. The third recording format is MP4, a widely-used and versatile format. 3 Please note that the Cinema RAW Light data recorded by this camera is different from the Cinema RAW data recorded by other Cinema EOS cameras. A variety of video and audio configuration options (A 64) RAW clips are recorded in 4096x2160 and, depending on the frame rate, in 12- or 10-bit color depth. Both MP4 and XF-AVC clips can be recorded in 3840x2160 or 1920x1080 and in 8-bit color depth. For details on available combinations of frame size, frame rate and color depth, see the video configuration settings tables (A 65). The camera records audio in 4-channel linear PCM or 2-channel MPEG-2 AAC-LC (MP4 clips only). With such versatile options, the camera is sure to offer you a configuration that meets your project's needs and shooting style. Recording media The camera records RAW clips to a CFast 2.0 card or MP4 clips and XF-AVC clips to an SD card. Because the camera is equipped with two SD card slots, you can use two SD cards to continue recording on the other card when the one being used becomes full (relay recording) or to record the same clip simultaneously on both cards to have a backup recording (double slot recording)4 (A 51). While you record primary clips on a CFast card, you can simultaneously record proxy clips-smaller files (2048x1080) for offline editing-on an SD card (A 113). 4 Relay recording and double slot recording are not available for proxy clips. Operability and Adaptability Freely customizable compact design The modular components, such as the LM-V1 LCD Monitor5, LA-V1 LCD Attachment Unit5, HDU-2 Handle Unit5 and GR-V1 Camera Grip5, will let you expand and adapt the camera's configuration to match your shooting conditions (A 36). 5 Supplied accessory for the C200; optional accessory for the C200B. Assignable buttons The camera and modular units feature a number of buttons (on the camera's body, LCD monitor and camera grip) to which you can assign a large number of functions (A 125). Assign functions that you use often to the assignable buttons you find most convenient to personalize the camera to your needs and preferences. Dual Pixel CMOS AF The camera features Dual Pixel CMOS AF and offers various autofocus functions (A 80): Continuous AF, One-shot AF (to use autofocus only when you choose) or AF-boosted MF (to let you focus manually most of the way and let the camera finish focusing automatically). Using AF-boosted MF the camera does not perform unreliable focus adjustments, resulting in a smoother focusing operation than with continuous AF. The camera can also focus automatically on people's faces (Face AF, A 87) and track moving subjects while keeping them in focus.
