HD Recording

Large Super 35mm CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV III image processor

The camcorder is equipped with a large Super 35mm CMOS sensor that captures video at an effective pixel count of 8.29 megapixels (3840x2160). Combined with the DIGIC DV III image processor, the camcorder offers a center resolution of 1,000 TV lines*. Furthermore, thanks to its fast scanning speed, the camcorder produces spectacular video with true-to-life color reproduction while reducing noise and “rolling shutter” artifacts.

* Varies depending on the lens used.

In addition, using double slot recording (A41) lets you record the same clip simultaneously to both SD cards.

Enhanced automatic functions

The camera features a variety of automatic functions to support a simple one-person operation. These include Push auto iris (A60) for automatic aperture adjustment as long as you press and hold the button, automatic white balance (A63) to let the camcorder continuously adjust the optimal white balance setting, and One-shot AF (A64) to let the camcorder focus automatically one time.

Interchangeable lenses

Enjoy the freedom and creative versatility of using interchangeable lenses to achieve exactly the look you want. The camcorder features an EF lens mount allowing you to use a huge variety of high-quality Canon EF lenses, including the new high-end EF Cinema lens series, as well as other lenses.

Superb HD video

The camcorder offers you a whole array of options when it comes to the video configuration of your recordings. By controlling the system frequency (50.00 Hz recordings or 59.94 Hz recordings), bit rate, resolution and frame rate of your recordings you can select a video configuration to suit your needs from a total of 24 different combinations.

Operability and Adaptability

Freely customizable compact design

At its most compact configuration, the camcorder offers convenient and hassle-free hand-held operation. Modular components let you expand your options. The handle unit, for example, adds advanced audio capabilities allowing for simple one- person operation (A29).

Recording media

The camcorder supports all the latest types of Secure Digital (SD) cards. You can even make lengthy recordings without worry because the camcorder features two SD card slots. When one SD card becomes full, the recording will automatically continue on the other one when you use relay recording (A41).

Versatile Artistic Expression

Custom picture settings

With custom picture settings (A88), you can enjoy unparalleled image control to deliver the look you want by adjusting parameters, such as gamma and sharpness. The camcorder also features a new, easy interface that lets you adjust the gamma curve and white balance using an intuitive graph. The custom picture settings can be saved onto an SD card, which allows multiple C100 camcorders to use the same settings.

Wide DR gamma and Canon Log gamma (A49, 97) for cinematic recordings

Wide DR gamma is a gamma curve that offers an impressive dynamic range and was developed with playback on an HDTV in mind. Video editing is easily accessible since this setting does not require any post-production.

Using the Canon Log gamma, you can get recordings with amazing dynamic range, allowing you to realize in post-production the artistic vision you desire.
