Highlights of the EOS C100
The Canon HD Camcorder EOS C100 is a versatile camcorder that combines the power of our latest CMOS sensor and interchangeable lenses with the convenience of a compact size. The following are just some of the many features that will help turn your creative vision into reality.

HD Recording
Large Super 35mm CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV III image processor
The camcorder is equipped with a large Super 35mm CMOS sensor that captures video at an effective pixel count of 8.29 megapixels (3840x2160). Combined with the DIGIC DV III image processor, the camcorder offers a center resolution of 1,000 TV lines*. Furthermore, thanks to its fast scanning speed, the camcorder produces spectacular video with true-to-life color reproduction while reducing noise and “rolling shutter” artifacts.
* Varies depending on the lens used.
In addition, using double slot recording (A41) lets you record the same clip simultaneously to both SD cards.
Enhanced automatic functions
The camera features a variety of automatic functions to support a simple one-person operation. These include automatic aperture and push auto iris
(A60) for automatic aperture adjustment as long as you press and hold the button, automatic white balance (A64) to let the camcorder continuously adjust the optimal white balance setting, and continuous AF or One-shot AF (A65) to let the camcorder focus automatically one time.

Recording media
The camcorder supports all the latest types of Secure Digital (SD) cards. You can even make lengthy recordings without worry because the camcorder features two SD card slots. When one SD card becomes full, the recording will automatically continue on the other one when you use relay recording (A41).
Advanced Professional Features
Customization
The camcorder features several customization options. You can assign often-used functions to assignable buttons (A89) so that you can call up those functions with the press of a single button. You can also register frequently-used menu settings in an
6easy-to-access personal menu (My Menu, A28). Custom functions (A102) and custom onscreen displays (A102) give you even more freedom to control many aspects of the camcorder’s operation. Save custom picture and menu settings to an SD card (A103) so that you can transfer your setting preferences to other C100 camcorders in order to use them in the same way.
Time code/User bit output
The internal camcorder-generated time code can be output from the HDMI OUT terminal for easy logging and referencing (A140). Additionally, the camcorder can output also the user bit (A73).
Other Functions
Audio
When recording at the highest bit rate, you have the option to record sound as 2-channel linear PCM audio (16-bit/48 kHz). You can use the built-in microphone, 3.5 mm MIC terminal or the two XLR audio input terminals (with phantom power supply) when recording.
LCD screen and viewfinder
The LCD screen and viewfinder both have 100% frame coverage, which will ensure that you can accurately check that your shots are framed how you want them.
Video scopes
Check the brightness of the image using the waveform monitor (A81) or the focus using the edge monitor (A82).
Added and improved functionality
Other functions include the ability to down-convert your recordings to standard definition (MPEG-2) in the camcorder itself (A113), and the Intelligent System-compatible battery pack (A160).

Preparations |
|
21
Preparing the Power Supply
You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter. If you connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw power from the power outlet.
Charge battery packs before use. For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to Charging Times (A160) and Recording and Playback Times (A160).
Using a Battery Pack
You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-955 or an optional BP-950G, BP-970G or BP-975 Battery Pack. The BP-955 and BP-975 are compatible with Intelligent System, meaning that you can check the remaining battery time.
Charging the Battery Pack
4Attach the battery pack to the compactCOPYpower adapter.
•Press lightly and slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow until it clicks.
•The CHARGE indicator starts flashing and also indicates the battery pack’s approximate charge. The
indicator will stay on when charging has completed.andBeforeCharge1
0-34%: Flashes once per second
35-69%: Flashes twice per second
70-99%: Flashes 3 times per second
5 When charging has completed, remove the battery pack from the compact power adapter.
6 Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect it from the compact power adapter.
IMPORTANT
•Do not connect to the compact power adapter any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
NOTES
•We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF). Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
•If there is a malfunction with the compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator will go out and charging will stop.
•For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Battery Pack (A155).
Preparing the Power Supply
•Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
•We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
22 • To charge the battery pack, disconnect the DC cable from the compact power adapter.
Attaching the Battery Pack
1 Set the Qswitch to OFF.
2 Insert the battery pack all the way into the compartment as shown in the illustration and press it gently toward the left until it clicks.
2 Push the BATTERY RELEASE latchCOPYin the direction of the arrow. While holding it down, slide the battery pack toward the right and then pull it out.
Preparing the Power Supply
Checking the Remaining Battery Charge |
|
|||
When the camcorder is turned on, you can check the remaining battery charge by looking at any recording/ |
|
|||
playback screen or the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A144). When the camcorder is turned off, use one |
|
|||
of the following methods to check the approximate remaining battery charge of a battery compatible with |
23 |
|||
Intelligent System. |
||||
|
||||
Press the CHECK button on the battery pack. An indicator will light for |
|
|||
approximately 3 seconds and show the approximate remaining battery |
|
|
|

•The first time you use a battery pack,COPYfully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately in the various recording/playback screens.
•Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A144) or the battery information screen (press the BATT. INFO button while the camcorder is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will give you a more accurate reading.

Preparing the Camcorder
Preparing the Camcorder
This section outlines the basic preparations for the camcorder such as attaching a lens and attaching the |
|
modular units (handle unit, grip unit, etc.) to the camcorder. The modular units extend the camcorder's |
29 |
functionality so you can choose the configuration that best fits your needs and shooting conditions. |
Configuration with handle: |
|
Attach the handle unit to |
|
use the built-in microphone, |
|
XLR terminals, microphone |
Light configuration with grip |
holder, etc. (A74). |
for hand-held shooting. |
|
Minimal configuration with thumb rest. You will not be able to use the joystick, |
|
but you can set the joystick's functions (up/down/left/right/SET) to assignable |
|
COPY |
|
buttons (A89) to be able to change settings that require the joystick*. Also, the |
|
control dial (A60, 61) and MAGN. button/Assignable button 7 (A89) cannot |
|
be used to operate the camcorder. |
|
* Except during photo playback. Functions that require the joystick include all settings in the |
|
menus (A27, 133), white balance, ISO speed/gain and shutter speed (A53), custom |
|
picture settings (A92), etc. |
Preparing the Lens |
|
As much as possible, attach and remove the lens quickly and in a clean environment free of dust. Refer also to the instruction manual of the lens used.
IMPORTANT
•When attaching/removing a lens, avoid direct sunlight or strong light sources. Also, be careful not to drop the camcorder or lens.
NOTES
•Be careful not to touch the lens mount or any components inside the lens mount area.
•Replace the body cap to the lens mount immediately after removing the lens from the camcorder.
•Keep the body cap clean and free from dust or dirt particles.

caps from the lens. |
3Attach the lens to the camcorder and turn the lens in the direction of the arrow until it clicks in place.
•EF lenses: Align the red mark on the lens with the red EF Lens mount index mark on the camcorder.
•EF-S lenses: Align the white mark on the lens with the white EF-S Lens mount index mark on the camcorder.
NOTES
•Turning on the image stabilization function of an EF lens may reduce the effective usage time of the battery pack. When image stabilization is not necessary, for example if the camcorder is fixed to a tripod, it is recommended to turn it off.
•On some EF lenses equipped with autofocus (AF) function, the focus ring will be disabled when the focus mode switch is set to AF. In such case, set the focus mode switch to MF.
•Depending on the lens used, you may experience one or more of the following limitations.
-The lens model name may be shortened when displayed on the screen.
-You may not be able to use the focusCOpreset functionP(superYtelephoto lenses).
-You may not be able to use the power zoom function of the lens.321Removingcamcorder and the dust cap to the lens.
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Depending on the characteristics of the lens used, the image around the corners of the picture may seem darker due to light fall-off or peripheral illumination drop. If the camcorder has correction data available for the EF lens used, it can apply this correction data to compensate as necessary.
Operating modes: 
1 Attach the lens you want to use.
2Open the peripheral illumination correction screen. [~Camera Setup] >[Periph. Illum. Corr.]
•If correction data is available, the lens model name will appear on the screen.
[~Camera Setup]
[Periph. Illum. Corr.]
[Off]
•If correction data is not available, [Periph. Illum. Corr.] will appear grayed out. Visit your local Canon Web site and check if there is
correction data available for the lens you are using. If so, download the necessary update package and
upgrade the camcorder’s firmware following the instructions supplied therein.
