EOS-1D C 4K DSLR CINEMA CAMERA

Revolutionary 4K Camera

The Canon EOS-1D C represents a breakthrough in

cinematography by combining the convenience of a digital

SLR camera with 4K and full HD-resolution video recording

to support high-end motion picture and television

production applications. Compact, rugged, and ﬂexible,

the EOS-1D C features an 18.1-megapixel full-frame

24mm x 36mm Canon CMOS sensor, industry-standard

codecs and interfaces, and an expanded sensitivity range

of up to ISO 25600 for exceptional motion-imaging with

reduced noise even in low-light settings. The EOS-1D C is

also compatible with more than 60 interchangeable Canon

EF and Cinema lenses, all of which are designed to deliver

exceptional image quality to help maximize the potential for

creative visual expression. The EOS-1D C records 8-bit 4:2:2 Motion

JPEG 4K (4096 x 2160-pixel) video to the camera’s dual CF memory cards

at 24 frames per second or 8-bit 4:2:0 Full HD (1920 x 1080) video at selectable

frame rates from 24p to 60p. If desired, captured video (excluding 4K) can also be output as Clean HD via

the camera’s HDMI terminal to an external recorder using an uncompressed YCbCr 8-bit 4:2:2 signal. The

EOS-1D C also delivers superb still-imaging capabilities, and is equipped with dual Canon 5+

image processors for high-precision AF and AE performance while also enabling high-speed continuous

shooting of up to approximately 12 fps (14fps in the ultra-fast continuous shooting mode).

KEY FEATURES/TECHNOLOGY

4K Video Recording

4K means four times the resolution of high-deﬁnition acquisition for

life-like theatrical presentation, ﬁlm style workﬂows, post-production versatility, and visual effects. The EOS-1D C shatters the preconceived notions of what 4K means in the market, as well as what HDSLR video

is capable of. The camera’s 4K acquisition solution and matching workﬂow are ideal for the cinema industry as it brings the high image-quality that Canon is known for and combines it with an ease of postproduction workﬂow–helping bring 4K imaging to the forefront of Hollywood production.

Dual DIGIC 5+ Image Processors

The EOS-1D C utilizes dual DIGIC 5+ Image Processors for stunning speed and image quality. Each DIGIC 5+ Image Processor contains twin 4-channel A/D converters for outstanding image quality, and reﬁned algorithms reduce noise at high ISO values. The EOS-1D C also applies realtime correction of chromatic aberration and other optical artifacts based on data stored in-camera. Lens data can be added and deleted by using the included EOS Utility software.

Full HD 60p/50p Support

In addition to standard frame rates of 30P, 25P and 24P, the EOS-1D C now enables Full HD recording at 60P and 50P and supports high-speed shooting for slow-motion footage. The camera’s built-in LCD monitor can both preview and play back footage at its native frame rate. The EOS-1D C also supports Super 35mm Crop in Full HD at 30P, 25P, and 24P. Image compression is H.264 and HDMI support allows external monitoring and playback of footage independent of shooting mode.

Canon Log Gamma

The EOS-1D C features a log gamma setting that sets the camera to maximize dynamic range and provide wide exposure latitude. The ﬁles produced using log format are ideal for post-production processes where corrections, color matching and grading are applied and provides users with a high level of creative freedom in postproduction without substantially degrading the image quality. When using Canon Log, the EOS-1D C can provide a dynamic range up to 800%.
