THE CINEMA EOS C700 DIGITAL CINEMA CAMERA
Our flagship Cinema EOS C700 Digital Cinema Camera† incorporates professional feedback to comprise what many cinematographers having been asking for from Canon. Designed to be a flexible
“A” camera for any type of shooting scenario, the EOS C700 features both internal 4K ProRes and XF-AVC recording, and can record uncompressed RAW up to 120 fps with
the optional 4K Codex CDX-36150 recorder.
The EF and PL mount versions of the camera feature a pixel resolution up to 4.5K and a dynamic range
of 15 stops, while the EOS C700 GS PL features 14 stops of dynamic range, up to 4.2K resolution and a global shutter.

Two New 4K Sensor Designs
The EOS C700 offers the option of two different sensor designs. The EOS C700 offers a 4.5K CMOS sensor with 15 stops of dynamic range. The standard sensor will be offered in both PL and EF mounts. The EF mount version of the camera features Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology. The EOS C700 GS PL features global shutter technology. Global shutter technology is helpful for sports, fast action, concerts and events where it eliminates “jello” and “flash band” artifacts. The image on a global shutter sensor
is captured simultaneously by every pixel on the sensor. Standard CMOS sensors capture the image by scanning the scene from top to bottom. Depending on the speed of the scan, the time delay between the scan of the first line and the last sometimes results in a “jello” effect where straight lines appear curved or wobble as the camera or subject moves. By capturing the entire image at once these artifacts are removed. The EOS C700 GS PL features 14 stops of dynamic range and does not offer Dual Pixel CMOS AF.
Triple DIGIC DV 5 Image Processors
“DIGIC” is Canon’s acronym for Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit. The EOS C700 uses three DIGIC DV 5 Image Processors to power the advanced features of the camera. DIGIC works in conjunction with other subsystems of the camera such as the lens and sensor to support the various features and the image processing engine.
Refined Ergonomics and Design
The EOS C700 features a new design when compared to previous Cinema EOS products. The EOS C700 is a full-size cinema camera allowing for both traditional studio style and handheld configurations.
The camera body includes built-in cheese plates with numerous 3/8"–16 and 1/4"–20 threaded holes on the top and bottom to easily attach accessories. The top handle attaches in a variety of positions to assist in achieving optimum balance.
Both sides of the camera can have redundant main displays with menus and controls. A built-in control panel on the camera operator side allows quick access to the camera controls.
The camera also features a wide range of optional accessories including a 0.7-inch OLED

RAW Recording
The Codex Recorder CDX-36150 is made specifically for the EOS C700, attaches to the rear of the camera and is controlled directly through the camera’s menu system. The modular design of the EOS C700 allows the recorder to be connected securely without wires and act like an integrated part rather than an external accessory.
When the Codex Recorder CDX-36150 is attached, the EOS C700 can record uncompressed 10-bit or 12-bit 4K RAW up to 120 fps, 2K RAW up to 240 fps or ProRes 4K up to 60 fps. The Codex Recorder allows recording of not only 4K RAW, but also of ProRes at significantly higher frame rates than internal CFast™ Cards. When recording, RAW files are saved as a .RMF frame sequence in an uncompressed format with no “baked in setting.” Clip development can then be easily adjusted in post using the included Canon Raw Development (CRD) software.
The CDX-36150 uses one Codex Capture Drive 2.0 (1 TB or 2 TB capacity), a familiar and commonly available professional recording media.
Canon XF-AVC and ProRes Internal Recording
The EOS C700 has two modes of internal recording: Canon XF-AVC and Apple ProRes. Both record to internal CFast™ Media. XF-AVC records up to 59.94p in 4K onto the CFast™ media. The camera also records Apple ProRes to CFast™ media. This is the first time a Canon Cinema EOS camera can record ProRes internally. This can help significantly reduce the time and cost of transcoding video files for productions using ProRes as an intermediate and delivery format. Simultaneous dual CFast™ recording is available for creating an immediate backup.
Internal CFast™ and SD Card Recording
The EOS C700 features two CFast 2.0™ card slots and one SD card slot. It can record XF-AVC and ProRes (along with metadata) simultaneously to either or both CFast™ cards, which can help when sending them to different locations. Relay recording also helps for situations where changing cards and losing precious seconds is not an option. An 8-bit 4:2:0 Proxy XF-AVC file can also be recorded to the SD card for immediate editing. The SD card can also capture JPEG still frames (2048 x 1080 or 1920 x 1080), metadata, menus and other information.
