Highlights of the Camera

The Canon EOS C200 / EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera is the latest camera in the highly-respected Cinema EOS line. Cinema EOS cameras are increasingly relied upon by industry professionals due to their state-of-the-art technology and the cameras’ high quality. The C200 / C200B continues that tradition by offering many features that will help you articulate your creative vision.

4K Recording System with Cinema Quality

Advanced 4K-compatible Super-35mm-equivalent CMOS sensor

At the heart of the camera is a Super-35mmequivalent CMOS sensor and two DIGIC DV 6 image processors, which enable the camera to capture and process video at an effective pixel count of 8.85 megapixels (4096x2160) and offer a center resolution of 1,800 TV lines noise-reduction technology that allows you to record video at sensitivity levels from ISO 160 to ISO 25600

Varies depending on the lens used.

The ISO speed range can be extended up to ISO 100 on one end, and ISO 102400 on the other.

Interchangeable lenses

Enjoy the freedom of using interchangeable lenses to achieve the look you want. The C200 / C200B features an EF lens mount allowing you to use over 100 high-quality lenses from the Canon Cinema Lens series and EF Lens series.

Cinema RAW Light

The camera records 4K RAW data, using the newly developed Cinema RAW Light to as RAW) format, directly to the CFast Card. The RAW data that the camera records is a proprietary format and is even suitable as HDR source material.

Please note that the Cinema RAW Light data recorded by this camera is different from the Cinema RAW data recorded by other Cinema EOS cameras.

A variety of video and audio configuration options (A 64)

The camera allows you to choose whether to record clips using RAW or MP4 format, depending on your project’s requirements. RAW clips are recorded in 4096x2160, and 59.94P/50.00P (10-bit color depth) or 23.98P/25.00P/24.00P (12-bit color depth). MP4 clips can be recorded in 3840x2160 or 1920x1080, and 59.94P/50.00P/23.98P/25.00P/

24.00P (8-bit color depth). The camera records audio in 4-channel linear PCM or 2-channel MPEG-4 AAC-LC (MP4 clips only). With such versatile options, the camera is sure to offer you a configuration that meets your project’s needs and shooting style.

Recording media

The camera records RAW clips to a CFast 2.0 card or MP4 clips to an SD card. Because the camera is

. The sensor integrates

(hereafter, referred

equipped with two SD card slots, you can use two SD cards to continue recording on the other card when the one being used becomes full (relay recording) or to record the same clip simultaneously on both cards to have a backup recording (double slot recording)

(A 51). While you record primary

clips on a CFast card, you can simultaneously record proxy clips—smaller files (2048x1080) for offline editing—on an SD card (A 110).

Relay recording and double slot recording are not available for proxy clips.

Operability and Adaptability

Freely customizable compact design

The modular components, such as the LM-V1 LCD

Monitor Handle Unit5 and GR-V1 Camera Grip5, will let you expand and adapt the camera’s configuration to match your shooting conditions (A 36).

Assignable buttons

The camera and modular units feature a number of buttons (on the camera’s body, LCD monitor and camera grip) to which you can assign a large number of functions (A 119). Assign functions that you use often to the assignable buttons you find most convenient to personalize the camera to your needs and preferences.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

The camera features Dual Pixel CMOS AF and offers various autofocus functions (A 80): Continuous AF, One-shot AF (to use autofocus only when you choose) or AF-boosted MF (to let you focus manually most of the way and let the camera finish focusing automatically). Using AF-boosted MF the camera does not perform unreliable focus adjustments, resulting in a smoother focusing operation than with continuous AF. The camera can also focus automatically on people’s faces (Face AF, A 87) and track moving subjects while keeping them in focus. You can control a number of AF-related settings including AF frame size and position, and AF speed.

, LA-V1 LCD Attachment Unit5, HDU-2

Supplied accessory for the C200; optional accessory for the C200B.

Even while focusing manually, the Dual Pixel Focus Guide function (A 82) serves as a visual, intuitive guide that you can use to check if the image is in focus and the required adjustment, if it is not. This can be very helpful to ensure you always get amazingly sharp 4K video.

Remote operation

You can attach the optional RC-V100 Remote

Controller to the camera to control it from a distance. The remote controller lets you control a wide range of camera settings (A 118). You can also operate the camera remotely via Wi-Fi using the Browser Remote application (A 158). Browser Remote lets you check the live view image from the camera and adjust main camera settings.

Versatile Artistic Expression

Special recording modes

The special recording modes (A 111) give you more creative control over your recordings. You can create a slow motion effect in your recordings, record a frame at a set interval (ideal for nature shots and other subjects with little movement) or record a frame every time you press a button (ideal for stop motion animation).

Custom picture settings

The improved custom picture menu gives you even more options to control the “look” of your images. Select one of the preset picture settings or set the combination of gamma curve, color space and color matrix that you wish to use. Then, you can adjust a number of other image-related parameters in detail.

Assistance functions

The camera offers a number of assistance functions, such as peaking and magnification (A 82), onscreen markers (A 90), zebra patterns (A 91) and B&W image (A 42), that you can display on the LCD monitor or viewfinder

, or output through the SDI terminal to display on an external monitor. When using a logarithmic gamma curve, you can also apply a LUT (A 144) to the displays or video output for easier monitoring.

only.

Other improved features

• 5 levels of ND filter (A 71).

• In-camera correction for peripheral illumination

and chromatic aberration (A 39).

• Monaural built-in microphone for note taking.

• Three sets of customizable My Menu submenus

(A 34).

• Menu settings file that can be saved in the camera

or on an SD card to restore all the menu settings or replicate them perfectly on another C200 / C200B camera (A 130).

• Improved clip name format with more information

for easier identification and organization of clips (A 61).

• Battery packs compatible with Intelligent System

for better remaining usage time information.

Other Functions

Software for aiding the production workflow

Cinema RAW Development can develop the recorded 4K RAW data and export it as a standard file type such as DPX or OpenEXR. You can also import an EDL to recreate an edit created on NLE software. This helps make a smooth transition to the color grading process.

Preparing the Power Supply

You can power the camera using a battery pack or directly using the AC adapter. If you connect the AC adapter to the camera while a battery pack is attached, the camera will draw power from the power outlet.

Using a Battery Pack

You can power the camera using the supplied BP-A30 Battery Pack or the optional BP-A60 Battery Pack. Both battery packs are compatible with Intelligent System so you can check the approximate remaining battery usage time (in minutes) on the screen. For more accurate readings, when using a battery pack for the first time, charge it fully and then use the camera until the battery pack is completely exhausted.

Charging the Battery Pack

Charge battery packs using the supplied CG-A20 Battery Charger and CA-CP200B Compact Power Adapter. Before charging, remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.

1 Connect the power cord to the CA-CP200B Compact Power

Adapter.

• For North America: Make sure you use the power cord for the CA-CP200B. See the sidebar below for information on differentiating the supplied power cords.

2 Connect the DC plug of the CA-CP200B Compact Power

Adapter to the battery charger.

3 Plug the power cord of the CA-CP200B Compact Power

Adapter into a power outlet.

4 Attach the battery pack to the CG-A20 Battery Charger.

• 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.

Preparations

5 Remove the battery pack from the battery charger.

6 Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect the DC plug from the battery charger.

7 Disconnect the power cord from the compact power adapter.

NOTES

CA-A10 power cord plug CA-CP200B power cord plug

Differentiating the Supplied Power Cords (for North America)

The CA-A10 AC Adapter and CA-CP200B Compact Power Adapter each include a power cord. The plug for the CA-A10’s power cord has a socket with a straight side, while the plug for the CA-CP200B’s power cord has circular sockets.

• Do not connect to the battery charger any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this camera.

• When using the battery charger or compact power adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a malfunction.

• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied battery charger or AC adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.

• 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 battery charger, 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

• For approximate charging times, refer to the a fully charged battery pack, refer to the

• 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.

• 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 (A 187). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it completely will give you a more accurate reading.

• USA and Canada only: The Lithium ion/polymer battery that powers the product is recyclable. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.

Using a Power Outlet

You can also power the camera directly from a power outlet using the supplied CA-A10 AC Adapter. While the camera is powered using a power outlet, you can replace the battery pack even when the camera is turned on. North America only: The power cord for the CA-A10 AC Adapter is different from that for the CA-CP200B Compact Power Adapter. If you do not use the correct power cord, it will not connect to the AC adapter.

Attaching the Ferrite Core

Before using the supplied CA-A10 AC Adapter, attach the supplied ferrite core to the power cord. This can help reduce the likelihood of RF interference.

1 Attach the ferrite core to the power cord about 4 cm (1.6 in.) from the plug that

goes into the AC adapter.

2 Pass the cable through the center of the core and wrap it around the core

twice and close the ferrite core.

• For use in North America, you only need to wrap the cable around the core

once.
