VERSATILE YET FAMILIAR ON SET

— DESIGNED FOR TODAY'S CINEMATOGRAPHER

There are very few cinema cameras quite like the EOS C300. The cinematographer has evolved, and

the camera has finally caught up. Radical in some ways and traditional in others, the EOS C300 manages

to merge the best of both cinema and video legacies to cater to the needs of just about anyone. As a

result, the EOS C300 has found a place on a variety of sets, large and small, around the world.

Compact, Modular, Ergonomic Body

You can always make a camera package bigger, but you can

never make the camera body itself smaller. In the past,

getting special angles and perspectives with B cameras in

small spaces meant that there was a compromise in image

quality. By designing the EOS C300 body in a modular way,

the core of the body can be stripped down to an incredibly

compact size, fitting into the tightest spaces while giving you

full functionality of what the camera offers. The camera

features four separate start/stop buttons (two on the body,

one on the side grip and one on the Monitor Unit attachment)

to allow easy camera triggering regardless of how it is

rigged. And with the camera built out with all of its included

accessories (top handle, side grip and Monitor Unit

attachment) it is still light, and more compact than many

built-out HD SLR rigs.

The lightweight EOS C300 can comfortably be operated for

hours even with the included accessories fully built out. The

top handle comes with two hot shoe mounts for accessories

and provides perfect mounting points for the Monitor Unit

attachment. The side grip is fully adjustable to operator

preference and shooting style and provides thoughtful, smart

controls that communicate with the camera body.

Rich Audio Controls

The EOS C300 has the ability to record two channels of

broadcast-quality audio. The Monitor Unit attachment comes

with two professional grade XLR inputs that can provide

phantom power as well as switch from mic and line levels.

The Monitor Unit attachment also comes with a built-in

shockmount for an on-camera shotgun mic and has easy-to-

adjust knobs for mic input levels. The body has a headphone

jack and buttons for monitoring volume levels. For even lower

profile, the EOS C300 includes a mini-jack input for smaller

third-party microphones if used without the Monitor Unit.

Full Manual Control, Customization

Catering to the professional cinematographer, the EOS C300

allows for full manual control over all parameters and also

allows for 15 customized function buttons that can be set up

to the preference of the camera operator.

Ultra-high Resolution EVF, Focus Aids,

Waveform and Vectorscope

The included Monitor Unit is one of the clearest stock

monitors to ship with a cinema camera. The back viewfinder

(EVF) is equally as powerful and allows for clearer operation

in bright exterior conditions. Focus aids such as peaking

(customizable to the color and parameters of your choice)

and edge monitor have been adopted from Canon's

broadcast legacy to bring tried and true tools to the cinema

camera market. A waveform and vectorscope are also built

into the camera to accurately judge exposure, alongside

traditional broadcast tools such as zebras (in which two sets

can be selected).

Compatibility with Third-party Accessories

The EOS C300 fits seamlessly into your existing workflow as

it is compatible with major third-party shooting accessories

like matte boxes, flags and support rods, geared control rings,

marking disks, and knobs for follow focus. Additionally, many

top manufacturers have created innovative support rigs and

accessories for different markets.

EF- and PL-mount Versions

The EOS C300 comes in both EF- and PL-mount versions

(EOS C300 and C300 PL), catering to different markets and

their needs. Narrative cinematographers sometimes prefer

to work with their favorite legacy cinema PL lenses while

smaller crews and documentarians may prefer the vast

variety and value that the EF mount has to offer. Having a

choice between two mounts allows more options for

cinematic creativity.

Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E6A Unit

with Remote Capabilities

By mounting the Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E6A

unit onto the EOS C300, you can wirelessly transmit images

from your camera to a computer, tablet or smartphone. The

unit also allows remote capabilities such as start/stop and

metadata input. A number of camera controls such as ISO and

white balance can also be changed remotely using the unit.
