Canon EOS C200 Datasheet

Overview

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera is a “ready-to-go” production camera that comes with a
built-in electronic viewfinder and an array of accessories including a 4-inch touch screen LCD
monitor, a versatile handle and ergonomic handgrip. The camera can record internal 4K RAW to
a CFast™ 2.0 card in our new Cinema RAW Light format without compromising detail, as well as
4K UHD and Full HD in MP4 format to SD cards. The 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS sensor,
13 stops of dynamic range, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, full compatibility with Canon EF-mount lenses,
and HDR capability help make the EOS C200 ideal for film, documentary and television
production, corporate and event videography, and newsgathering. The camera’s multitude of
features help deliver outstanding image quality, performance and versatility.

Features:

Canon 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS Sensor

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera integrates an 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS
sensor that supports 4K (DCI) recording with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. The
camera fully utilizes the image data delivered by this 4K CMOS sensor to also enable Over
Sampling HD Processing for 2K (DCI) and Full HD 1080/60p recording.

Each pixel in this CMOS imaging sensor also maintains a wide pixel pitch that maximizes the
amount of light that falls on to each photo site, thus enhancing the EOS C200 camera’s
sensitivity while also minimizing noise and supporting ISO speeds of up to 102,400 for extreme
low-light imaging. This sensor also reduces data-readout time, resulting in a reduction in rolling­shutter artifacts.

Fully Compatible with New and Existing Canon EF-Mount Lenses

A major aspect of the creative filmmaking potential of the EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera is its
compatibility with the full range of more than 100 Canon EF and EF-S photographic lenses
(including specialty tilt-shift and fisheye models) and Canon’s 4K CN-E Cinema prime and zoom
lenses, including the “ENG-style” Canon CINE-SERVO and COMPACT-SERVO zooms. Improved EF
lens communication capabilities of the EOS C200 camera provide the display of CN-E Cinema
lens T-values, compatibility with Dual-Pixel CMOS AF, lens metadata acquisition, and chromatic
aberration correction.

For those users who are accustomed to seeing the T-value displayed when using EF lenses for
digital cinema, it is possible to switch the camera to display either the F-value or the T-value.
This is important for those that shoot on movie sets and prefer to know how much light is
passing through the opening of the lens and actually making it to the sensor. T-values are the
traditional measure of light reaching the sensor in video production, while F-stop is the measure
of light in still photography. The ability to see the F-stop helps those transitioning from still to
video shooting.

Built-In Viewfinder with Touch Screen LCD Monitor, Camera Grip and Handle Unit

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera is a “ready-to-go” production camera, right out of the box.
The camera comes with a built-in electronic viewfinder, along with a 4-inch Touch Screen LCD
Monitor (LM-V1), Camera Grip (GR-V1), Handle Unit (HDU-2) and Battery Charger (CG-A20)- all
helping make the EOS C200 ideal for single operator shooting applications including film,
documentary and television production, as well as corporate video and event videography work
and newsgathering.

Built-In Electronic Viewfinder

The 0.46 inch, 1.77 million dot built-in electronic viewfinder has a full array of menu
options for controlling camera settings, and supports HDR viewing.

Touch Screen LCD Monitor (LM-V1)

The fully adjustable and detachable, 1.23 million dot, 4-inch Touch Screen LCD Monitor
works with Canon's exclusive AF technologies for easy monitoring and one-finger "tap­focusing" during shooting.

Camera Grip (GR-V1)

The new Rosette style camera grip makes rotating and removing the grip simpler, and
features an improved ergonomic design to help steady and focus the camera.

Handle Unit (HDU-2)

This handle unit can be attached to the camera body without tools, and features a new
handle screw that enables fast and easy attachment. The unit can also be used to mount
a variety of optional peripherals.

Dual DiG!C DV 6 Image Processors

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features our newly developed dual DiG!C DV 6 image
processors, which powerfully process high-resolution image data.

The two on-board DiG!C DV 6 image processors allow for the recording of 1,800 horizontal TV
lines in 4K. The DiG!C 6 is Canon’s sixth-generation Image processor that uses proprietary
technology, allowing users to achieve high performance and creative freedom when acquiring
images.

Over Sampling HD Processing

The EOS C200 features Over Sampling HD Processing*, a high-image-quality signal
processing system that satisfies a broad spectrum of video production needs by
effectively utilizing the abundant powers of 4K image expression in 2K (2048 x 1080) /
Full HD (1920 x 1080) recording.

*Over Sampling HD processing is not available with Cinema RAW Light recording or 120p/100p.

ISO Range of 100 to 102,400 Supported

The EOS C200 supports an ISO range of between 160 and 25,600. That range expands to
between 100 to 102,400 when the “Extended Sensitivity” is set on the camera. This
range of ISO settings provide the user with more creative freedom. Low ISO values allow
the user to use large iris settings and shallow depth of field, even in scenes of bright
light. The higher ISO values provide the user with more flexibility in dimly lit situations. A
54db gain setting can also be set to achieve high sensitivity in dimly lit scenes.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology

The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features our Dual Pixel CMOS AF (DAF) Technology. DAF is
a breakthrough AF technology that uses the CMOS sensor.

Each pixel in the camera's CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent
image signals can then be detected at each photosite. By implementing phase-difference AF,
smooth focusing is accomplished using Canon EF lenses with much higher speed and accuracy
than was possible with previous technologies- a major advantage during single-operator
shooting.

Continuous AF and Face Detection AF with all Canon EF Lenses*
The EOS C200 has one-touch AF (with a push-button) and continuous AF within
approximately 80% of the overall image area. Face Detection AF is another autofocus
mode that can track a person's face in the frame and maintain focus on them. To further
fine tune AF performance, the EOS C200 offers the ability to set the AF tracking speed
(up to 10 steps) and sensitivity (up to 7 steps) to match the user’s preference.
