CANON Log Gamma

The built-in CANON Log Gamma option offers neutral image quality with 12 steps of latitude (800% dynamic range) and a base setting of 850 ISO. The Wide Dynamic Range option offers recording with the same wide latitude and requires no grading.

Compact, modular and lightweight

Ultra-compact and lightweight, the EOS C100 is ideal for use in tight spaces. The basic recording configuration weighs only 1,020 g (without lens), while the detachable grip, handle and multi-angle control panel ensure maximum maneuverability. The rugged, splash-resistant body made of magnesium alloy components provides additional rigidity and strength.

Professional Audio

Professional audio recording options include LPCM or Dolby AC3. The superior handle includes two XLR and stereo microphone inputs.

CPS compatibility

The EOS C100 qualifies for free support from CANON Professional Services (CPS) with exclusive access to a range of benefits: CPS support at major events, priority repair service (subject to availability) and local CPS support in selected European countries.

Enhanced features
Dual Pixel CMOS AF is a sensor-based, phase-detection Auto Focus (AF) technology that has been designed to support video recording. To this end, a compatible CMOS sensor was incorporated into the original design of the EOS C100. Thanks to new technical developments following its launch, the camcorder can now be enhanced to offer users greater functionality and additional added value.

Although the EOS C100's sensor-based Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology is similar to that of the EOS 70D digital SLR CANON, it has been adapted to match the performance and capabilities of the EOS C100. The technology has been specially optimized for video recording and provides fast, natural focusing in a familiar visual style. So capturing a subject and keeping it in focus, even if it moves, is easier than ever.

Kieran Magee, Professional Marketing Manager, CANON Europe, commented: "We are dedicated to developing innovative imaging products that also deliver great value for users. We are very proud of our existing Cinema EOS System, and we are constantly listening to our customers' suggestions for ways to improve our products, so that they can push their own creative boundaries. This upgrade, which sees the addition of Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology to the EOS C100, is a further demonstration of our commitment in this regard."

Availability
This upgrade, which uses the EOS C100's existing Super 35mm sensor, will be available from the Regional Competence Centre (RCC) network from Q1 2014 and will be subject to a charge
