Canon C300 PL, 1D X Non-Linear Editing Integration, Custom Pictures, Black Balance Adjustment

Custom Pictures

To achieve the look and feel you want in less time during post-production, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL have 26 different Custom Picture settings. Custom Pictures can include different image quality adjustments, including gamma, knee, color matrix, sharpness, noise reduction and more. Settings can be created in-camera and saved to the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL or to an SD card for transfer to other cameras. A number of natural color settings are included with the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL; others include Cinema setting for post-production and EOS setting to match images captured by a Canon EOS DSLR.

Black Balance Adjustment

In ambient conditions that cause the black in the video signal to shift out of alignment, the EOS C300’s and EOS C300 PL’s black balance can be easily adjusted to bring it back. A simple process with the lens cap on the camera, black balance adjust- ment is especially useful the first time you use the EOS C300 or EOS C300 PL, when your camera has been on the shelf for an extended period, when you’ll be shooting in a wide range of temperatures, or when the ISO sensitivity or gain settings have been changed.

High-Speed, Slo-Mo, Time-Lapse and Stop-Motion

Beyond the advantages of file-based recording, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL offer you more creative possibilities in post- production. By capturing fewer frames per second, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL can transform normal action into intense high-speed motion up to 60x. By capturing more frames per second, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL can slow down motion to 1/2.5x at 720p. You can also program your EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL to record a set number of frames at defined inter- vals for amazing time-lapse photography – and its frame- recording feature is perfect for stop-frame animation.

Non-Linear Editing Integration

To manage your recorded material more efficiently, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL offer two solutions: direct export to Non Linear Editing (NLE) programs through a supplied software plug-in, or file management through Canon’s supplied Easy Browser Software. Developed in concert with companies like Adobe, Apple, Avid and Grass Valley, Canon software plug-ins give you simple, lossless transfer. You’ll also have Windows® / Mac® compatibility for cross-platform versatility. For professional editing or file management outside of NLE programs, Canon’s Easy Browser software offers basic play- back, backup, metadata management and much more – in a simple, logical package that doesn’t require extensive training.
