The EOS C100 Mark II is the first Cinema EOS System camera to employ Canon’s DIGIC DV 4 imaging platform. Offering exceptional processing power, DIGIC DV 4 makes possible accurate color reproduction while minimizing the occurrence of moiré and “jaggies,” and delivers high-image-quality performance with reduced noise even when shooting in low-light conditions.

Supporting exceptional basic performance, the EOS C100 Mark II’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology enables Continuous AF, a function that automatically maintains focus on a subject in the center of the frame when using a Canon interchangeable EF lens.*1 Additionally, the new HD video camera offers face detection AF*2 when paired with an EF lens equipped with STM (stepper motor) technology.*3 Incorporating a variety of advanced AF functions, the EOS C100 Mark II contributes to improved workflow efficiency during interviews and other shooting situations involving human subjects. Capable of recording in the AVCHD and MP4 file formats and supporting frame rates of 59.94/50.00 frames per second, the camera produces smooth, clear video images even when capturing fast-moving subjects. Furthermore, a slow-motion recording mode lets users slow down the action by up to 40%.

Featuring the same compact, lightweight body design as its predecessor, the new Canon EOS C100 Mark II supports a wide range of shooting styles and usage environments, including confined spaces, ushering in new possibilities in imaging expression. Additionally, it employs an OLED display that can be rotated horizontally up to approximately 270 degrees as well as a viewfinder that can be tilted upward at a maximum of 65 degrees for exceptional operability that delivers a level of shooting flexibility on par with that offered by the high-end cinema camera models from the Cinema EOS System series.

*1 Does not include manual-focus lenses such as models from the EF Cinema Lens series.
*2 Face detection AF is a function realized through contrast AF.
*3 Supported lenses: EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM, EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM. (as of October 22, 2014)
