Designed with Filmmakers in Mind

With everything a cinematographer needs, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL come ready to produce. A logical layout of buttons and dials make operation simple. A lock switch turns off all controls except the recording button and the function buttons. Small ridges between the buttons help prevent activating functions by mistake. The backlit display panel is great for low-light viewing. A tally lamp is clearly visible from the side or behind the camera. The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL have a

Waveform Monitor (WFM) function that shows the overall brightness of a scene, with RGB Parade Display to view red, green and blue brightness or Spot Display to isolate the luminance distribution of a chosen area. The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL Vectorscope (VS) display shows real-time hue and saturation

monitor. It’s all in the camera.

Rich Audio Controls

When mounted to the EOS C300 or EOS C300 PL cameras, the included control unit provides two XLR audio inputs with +48V phantom power. A 3.5mm

microphone terminal is also built in to the camera. Audio is recorded uncompressed in 16-bit PCM format at 48 kHz for high fidelity sound. Both XLR inputs, as well as the mic terminal have the option for auto- matic, as well as full manual gain control (-Infinity to +18dB). Additionally, a 3.5mm headphone terminal with 16 volume settings offers accurate audio monitoring.

The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL come

preconfigured so that camera settings can be viewed and securely controlled on third-party devices with common web browsers, including computers, smartphones and tablets without the need for additional software. With the WFT-E6A module, the camera

can be controlled from up to 150 feet away over an 802.11 b/g/n/a wireless network. The WFT-E6A lets you start and stop recording and also adjust focus, white balance, gain and other parameters as well as adjust the aperture of Canon EF lenses. It also gives you input marking for metadata and offers a live view of the composition. It even supports incorporating GPS information into the file metadata – useful for general cinematic applications, and essential for expedition filmmakers.
