DETAILS
The Canon C300 Cinema Camera with Dual Pixel CMOS AF has improved upon its predecessor, the Canon C300, with faster and more accurate autofocusing when using Canon lenses thanks to Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, which deploys two photodiodes within each sensor photosite for powerful phase detection that ultimately helps ensure that proper focus is always maintained, even in unpredictable "run and gun" news or documentary-type shooting situations. Additional upgrades over the original include improved low-light sensitivity, on-camera buttons to control in-camera menus (previously dependent on a removable joystick) and a new AF Lock setting that lets you change the image framing while holding the desired focus. 1920x1080 in 60/50i or 23.98/25p can be recorded internally in the Canon XF codec thanks to dual onboard CF slots (cards not included) while custom picture files, camera settings, and user memo files can be saved on and read from an SD card (card not included).
The C300 features Canon Log that sets the camera to max dynamic range and provides wide exposure latitudes. The files produced using log format are ideal for post production corrections and grading. The versatility of settings and high number of outputs and connection points provides operators with complete control over functions such a iris, shutter, gain, zoom, audio, and rig arrangements. A pair of Peaking Modes and a Magnify Focus Assist are available in both standby and record mode, making it extremely easy to check and confirm critical focus settings. The Canon C300 Cinema Camera with Dual Pixel CMOS AF is ideal for cinematographers working with corporate clients and on larger production sets, as well as for documentarians and broadcasters.
