OUTSTANDING IMAGE QUALITY

— EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

The heart of the Canon EOS C300 is Canon's Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor which has been designed

from the ground up to meet and exceed the needs of the cinema and broadcast industries. The large

sensor provides the ability to capture cinematic shallow depth-of-field imagery and adds excellent

signal-to-noise ratio and low-light sensitivity that is highly desired in the world of cinema. With the

addition of Canon Log Gamma, the EOS C300 brings filmic high dynamic range without sacrificing tried

and true broadcast workflow. And with a full palette of color adjustments available in Custom Pictures,

operators can creatively paint looks that are ready for air right out of the gate, truly making the EOS C300

flexible, sensible and incredible.

Canon Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS Sensor

Designed specifically to meet the motion imaging needs of

the cinema industry, Canon's Super 35mm CMOS image

sensor deploys an innovative new approach to sensor

design by using an 8.3 megapixel single CMOS sensor to

capture individual RGGB channels (4:4:4:4) for each Full HD

1920x1080 frame. No debayering process is needed,

avoiding related reconstruction errors. The spatially offset

green signal components are added, further enhancing the

dynamic range and producing a remarkably sharp and clean

Luma component with exceptionally low aliasing. This allows

the single CMOS chip of the EOS C300 to originate RGB video

components superior to those cameras of three chip designs.

Each photosite in the imaging sensor has a large size of

6.4 x 6.4 micrometers and uses advanced microlens

technology to maximize the amount of light that falls on

each photodiode, enhancing the EOS C300's light sensitivity

while minimizing the appearance of noise in the image.

The advanced technology of the Canon Super 35mm sensor

allows the EOS C300 to achieve outstanding sensitivity

within an ISO range of 320–20000 while also delivering

12 stops of dynamic range.

High Sensitivity, Excellent S/N Ratio

When it comes to digital cinema cameras, Canon's entire

line of cine cameras are currently some of the market

leaders in low-light sensitivity. If the EOS C300 was only half

as sensitive to light as it already is, it would still be on par

with many other products currently in the market. Not only is

noise remarkably under control, what little noise is in the

image has a unique and pleasing "film-like" texture pattern,

which differentiates it from the fixed pattern noise that has

traditionally been the nemesis of digital cameras. Its

excellent signal-to-noise ratio helps ensure that all the ISO

settings offered in the EOS C300, which go up to a

remarkable 20000 ISO, are perfectly useable and acceptable

for digital cinematography.
