Pro-level connectivity In addition to the 3G-SDI terminals mentioned previously, the HD/SD SDI terminal can output YCC 4:2:2 10-bit (8-bit effective) HD/SD video as well as audio and time code signals. Genlock synchronization (A 88), the TIME CODE terminal (A 89, 91) and SYNC OUT terminal allow the 6 camera to be part of any multi-camera shooting setup. Customization The camera features several customization options. You can assign often-used functions to assignable buttons (A 111) so that you can call up those functions with the press of a single button. You can also register frequently-used menu settings in an easy-to-access personal menu (My Menu, A 30). Custom functions (A 123) and custom onscreen displays (A 124) give you even more freedom to control many aspects of the camera's operation. During MXF mode, with custom picture settings (A 114), you can enjoy unparalleled image control to deliver the "look" you want by adjusting parameters, such as gamma and sharpness. The custom picture settings can be recorded onto an SD card, which allows multiple C500 / C500 PL cameras to use the same settings, or embedded in the recording itself (A 116, 136, 164). Remote operation via Wi-Fi You can attach the optional WFT-E6 Wireless File Transmitter to the camera and operate it remotely via Wi-Fi using the Wi-Fi Remote application (A 50). The Wi-Fi Remote application lets you monitor the image through live view and remotely control the focus, shutter speed, ISO speed/gain and other settings. Other Features Special recording modes The special recording modes (A 105) give you more creative control over your recordings. You can create a slow motion or fast motion effect in your recordings, record a certain number of frames at a set interval (ideal for nature shots and other subjects with little movement) or record a certain number of frames every time you press a button (ideal for stop motion animation). Software for aiding the production workflow The Cinema RAW Development software, which can be downloaded from your local Canon Web site, can develop the 4K RAW data recorded with an external recorder and export it as a standard file type such as DPX. This helps make a smooth transition to the color grading process. Audio Sound is recorded as 2-channel linear PCM audio (16-bit/48 kHz). You can use the MIC terminal for microphones with a Ø 3.5 mm mini-stereo plug or the two XLR audio input terminals (with phantom power supply) when recording. Video scopes Check the brightness of the image using the waveform monitor (A 100), the color of the image using the vectorscope (A 101), or the focus using the edge monitor (A 101).
