SHORT DESCRIPTION
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Canon EOS C300 Mark III Cinema Camera is a complete game changer, and professional 4K cinema video camera that features a durable, powerful and easy-to-use design. The durable C300 Mark III sports the next generation Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor along with its powerful DIGIC DV7 image processor specifically designed for high bit rate 4K video capture; however, it also delivers stunning image quality with high sensitivity, low noise and astonishing detail.
Key features to this powerhouse, is that it captures remarkable 4K/Full HD video offering rates up to 120 fps in 4K video recording, while 2K CROP mode provides even greater flexibility with speeds of up to 180 fps, and it delivers incredible 16 stops of Dynamic Range, which is also compatible with Canons exclusive Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology. The power image sensor utilises its technology by combining images via pixels shot with a saturation-prioritising amplifier for bright areas and a lower-noise noise-prioritising amplifier for the darker areas. The advanced DIGIC DV7 image processor is also the main engine behind its powerful features such as high frame recording, its Dual Gain Output (DGO), Cinema Raw Light Recording, Electronic Image Stabilisation, Dual Pixel Autofocus, and proxy recording. In addition to the standard Intra-based XF-AVC codecs, Canon has also added a 4:2:2 10-bit Long GOP-based codec with consideration for a balance of quality and data rates.
Other features include both Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 Gamma which is great for post-production as it provides the most post-production flexibility and full dynamic range of the sensor when utilising Canon Log 2. However, Canon Log 3 provides an alternative with only a slightly reduced dynamic range of 14 stops; 5-Axis Electronic Image Stabilisation; Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology for both Touch AF and Face Detection; a large LM-V2 4.3 LCD Screen with approx. 2.76m-dots; 4-Channel Audio Recording allowing input from the cameras internal microphone, mini mic port, and XLR ports; and the option of uploading and applying custom LUTs to the Canon EOS C300.
Enhanced Canon Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor
The latest Canon EOS C300 Camera is equipped with an advanced sensor, Canons next generation Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor. The enhanced sensor is carefully designed for high dynamic ranges in excess of 16 stops and is also compatible with Canons exclusive Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology. It generates high dynamic range and also ensures really low noise levels by reading out each pixel with different grains.
Powerful DIGIC DV7 Image Processor
Powered into this powerhouse is Canons cutting-edge DIGIC DV7 image processor that contributes to many of its advance functions such as high frame recording, its Dual Gain Output (DGO), Cinema Raw Light Recording, Electronic Image Stabilisation, Dual Pixel Autofocus, and proxy recording. The powerful DIGIC DV7 Image Processor also takes the extensive RAW information thats being captured from the imaging sensor and then processes it for output.
Remarkable 4K Video Capture with High Frame Rates
The Canon EOS C300 Mark III Cinema Camera is specifically designed to capture only but the best of video, allowing you to capture ultra-high frame rates with its new chip design and DIGIC DV7 image processor. The C300 enables videographers to capture 4K video with frame rates of up to 120 fps, while 2K CROP mode will provide you with even greater flexibility with impressive speeds of up to 180 fps.
Canon Log 2 and 3 Modes
Incorporated into the professional Canon C300 Mark III are both Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 Gamma modes, which is great for taking into post-production letting you have full control over editing your video footage such as colour grading and more. The Canon Log workflows provide you with greater dynamic range, and more highlights and shadow retention. Canon Log 2 will provide you with the largest dynamic range and image detail of the sensor; while Canon Log 3 will provide an alternative with only a slightly reduced dynamic range of up to 14 stops.
Large LM-V2 4.3 LCD Touch Screen
For improved viewing and operation, the C300 Mark III Cinema Camera from Canon is equipped with a Large LM-V2 4.3 LCD Touch Screen with approx. 2.76m-dots. The screen will ensure enhanced viewing when wanting to change camera settings or for playback purposes. Additionally, The LCD monitor is capable of adjusting to different viewing positions.
4-Channel Audio Recording
Built-in to the cinema camera are 4 audio inputs, meaning 4-channel audio recording. The C300 Mark III Camera allows audio input from the cameras internal microphone, the mini mic port, and XLR ports which will enable a variety of audio devices to be connected and mixed directly on the camera.
Support for Custom User LUTs
Add your own LUTs and applying them by easily uploading them to the Canon EOS C300 Mark III camera. These LUTs can then be assigned to specific output terminals, the LCD and the viewfinder. While viewing one LUT, production works from another, giving different production roles the ability to easily then customise the look of the image according to their needs.
Canon Cinema RAW Light and XF-AVC Recording
Advanced functions just keep coming in on the C300 Mark III camera, the camera can record Cinema RAW Light directly to onboard CFexpress cards all thanks to its powerful DIGIC DV7 Image Processor. This offers plenty of freedom for grading with a dynamic range that can exceed 16 stops with Dual Gain Output technology. The Cinema RAW Light from Canon also offers users with an extremely great combination of codec efficiency and the best of quality. Something new thats been added to the Canon C300 Mark III is the new 4:2:2 10-bit Long GOP-based codec with consideration for a balance of quality and data rates, which is ideals and easier for users to reduce media cost and to work with cloud-based infrastructures.
Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus with support for Touch AF and Face Detection
Canon has packed a powerful Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus feature in the Canon EOS C300 Mark III, which is sensor based, phase detection autofocus technology leading to smooth, high-performance focus tracking and achieving rapid autofocus that can be achieved with the support for Touch AF and Face Detection. With the unique Canon-developed technology that utilises two photo diodes per pixel for autofocus and then combines them for recording high-quality video. Additionally, this also enables precise focus to be maintained, even when shooting moving subjects, which is vital for 4K UHD capture.
