Contributing to reduced production costs, the new Canon EOS C100 supports a wide range of applications, from film school projects to broadcast news coverage and documentaries. The cinema camera accommodates Canon’s diverse lineup of interchangeable EF lenses for EOS SLR cameras as well as new EF Cinema Lenses, which deliver imaging performance ideally suited for cinematic applications.
Incorporating an industry-standard-size Super 35 mm-equivalent CMOS sensor (approximately 8.29 million effective pixels), the EOS C100 makes possible filmic expression such as images featuring attractive blur characteristics. Additionally, the large surface area of each pixel enables high light-gathering capabilities with high sensitivity and reduced noise. The EOS C100’s sensor reads Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) video signals for each of the three RGB primary colors, decreasing the incidence of moiré while realizing high resolution with 1,000 horizontal TV lines. Supported by a heightened signal read-out speed, the CMOS sensor reduces rolling shutter skews, a phenomenon prevalent with CMOS sensors in which fast-moving subjects may appear diagonally distorted.
In addition to Canon Log, the camera newly employs Wide DR Gamma, realizing a maximum 800% wide dynamic range. Assuming output to a television monitor, the feature does away with the need for post-production processes while realizing smooth gradation with reduced detail loss in highlight areas.
The EOS C100’s compact body design is approximately 15% less in volume and approximately 29% lighter in weight than the EOS C300/EOS C300 PL, enabling shooting in confined environments to make possible innovative possibilities in imaging expression. In accordance with on-location shooting needs, the camera can be outfitted with such unit accessories as a handle, grip, and thumb rest.
Equipped with “Push Auto Iris” and “One-Shot AF” buttons, the EOS C100 enables one-touch automatic iris and focus adjustment. Additionally, when outfitted with the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM (released in June 2012), a new function enabled the automatic continuous adjustment of focus and iris settings for subjects located in the center of the frame.
