Canon have reinforced their industry- leading Dual Pixel CMOS AF and new high speed 4K recording. The Mk 3 is ideal for a range of professional broadcast applications including documentary film making productions. The latest imaging processor provides 16+ stops of latitude, which is ideal in low light and high dynamic scenes, a step up from the previous mark II C300. The newly developed DGO sensor employs gain-driven HDR and near dark capture is possible with up to ISO 102,400 4K recording at up to 120fps is expandable to 150fps and as low as 12fps for versatile creativity

Full Details:

The latest version is equipped with a newly developed 4K S35mm sensor and DIGIC DV7 image processor, delivering an exceptional high-resolution image with full 16+ stops of latitude or dynamic range. It also has an impressive low light capability, with improved low noise, up to ISO 102,400 where the human eye cannot easily see in virtual darkness. The newly developed DGO sensor imaging system generates HDR video by reading out each pixel with different gains. It combines images using pixels shot with a saturation-prioritising amplifier for bright areas, and alow noise-prioritising amplifier for darker areas, resulting in higher dynamic range. The cinema camera is also compatible with highly the accurate Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

The EOS C300 Mark III supports continuous 4K recording at up to 120fps for smooth slow motion playback, available both in Cinema RAW Light and XF-AVC. In 2K (crop) mode, frame rates from 12 fps up to 150 fps can also be set for greater creative freedom, while a dedicated Slow & Fast button, provides quick access to the desired speed setting.

Dual card slots enable simultaneous internal recording of 4K Cinema RAW Light files (10/12-bit) or 4K XF-AVC files (4:2:2 10-bit) onto CFexpress cards. XF-AVC supports ALL-I which delivers the best quality, and Long-GOP which enables longer recording times through higher compression. A Proxy can also be recorded onto an SD card, making editing work more efficient in post production.

The EOS C300 Mark III incorporates Electronic Image Stabilization (IS) into the camera body, supporting 5-axis camera shake correction. Even when used with lenses with no electronic lens communication, Electronic IS is possible by manually inputting the focal length. This ensures smoother and sharper footage can be captured in even lower noise.

The EOS C300 Mark III provides support for optional interchangeable lens mounts for different project requirements. EF lens mount provides perfect compatibility with a huge range of Canon EF lenses including EF Cine Primes, while the optional PL mount supports the Cooke/i system. Additionally, B4 mount adapters are also available (for EF or PL mounts) to use with B4 lenses. Optional Extension Units offer a flexible modular design and configuration capability to cater for a variety of production requirements. Extension Unit 1 offers multi-camera support with a Genlock interface, while Extension Unit 2 adds further interfaces, such as two more XLR inputs, ideal for broadcast applications and a V-Lock battery mount for extended recording times. The optional EVF Unit is ideal for hand-held use but also answers user's demands to make it easily removable for gimbal applications. Approx. 1,750g lightweight body enables it to be comfortably rigged with gimbals, hand-held rigs, making it ideal for various shooting conditions.
