Delivering 4K-resolution video with exceptional image quality, the EOS C300 Mark II incorporates a Canon-developed Super 35mm-equivalent approximately 8.85-megapixel CMOS image sensor and the Company’s latest imaging platform, Dual DIGIC DV 5, which offers exceptional processing power. In addition to newly employing Canon Log 2, the Company’s proprietary gamma setting, the EOS C300 Mark II is equipped with Canon’s new XF-AVC video format to realize an expanded dynamic range compared with its predecessor. The cinema camera enables the preservation of image detail without overexposure or underexposure even in shooting environments that combine highly divergent lighting conditions, such as a dark interior with a window that looks out on to a brightly lit landscape.
When shooting with an EF-series lens,* the EOS C300 Mark II’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology supports Continuous AF, which automatically maintains focus on a subject within a wide focusing area covering approximately 80% (vertical and horizontal) of the image display screen. The cinema camera is also equipped with a variety of advanced AF functions, including Face Detection AF, which can be utilized together with Continuous AF. Thanks to these features, the EOS C300 Mark II allows users to quickly make focus adjustments based on individual shooting styles, even when capturing 4K video which, due to its high level of resolution, requires a significant level of focusing accuracy.
The EOS C300 Mark II supports Canon’s new XF-AVC video format, which realizes a high data-compression rate without sacrificing image quality, facilitating the efficient recording of high-image-quality 4K, 2K and Full HD video footage to a CFast 2.0 or SD memory card. The new video format delivers enhanced workflows across various stages of the 4K-video production process, from shooting to editing.
* Excluding manual focus lenses, EF Cinema Lenses and EF-M lenses.
