(separate
Recording media
The camera features two CFast card slots and an SD card slot. It records main recording clips (XF-AVC or ProRes) on the CFast cards. When you insert two CFast cards in the camera, the camera can record simultaneously on both cards (double slot recording), or it can switch automatically to recording on the other CFast card when a CFast card becomes full (relay recording) (A 52). In addition to the main recording, you can activate the simultaneous sub recording (A 71). Sub recording clips can be recorded on the CFast card (XF-AVC Intra) or on the SD card (XF-AVC Proxy).
Operability and Adaptability
Expandable modular design
The sturdy camera body was designed with ease of use and expandability in mind. It features a multitude of screw holes of different diameters on its top and bottom plates to offer a large number of options for attaching additional accessories to the camera. Using the optional EVF-V70 OLED Electronic Viewfinder (17 mm (0.7 in.), 1920x1080 pixels/ approx. 6.22 million dots), OU-700 Remote Operation Unit, SU-15 Shoulder Support Unit and SG-1 Shoulder Style Grip Unit, you can quickly optimize the camera for one-person operation or for team operation from both sides, depending on your needs (A 38). The camera offers assignable buttons and a customizable USER screen (using the screen buttons) that you can customize to your preferences from a large number of convenient functions (A 127). Optional accessories offer additional assignable buttons. Assign functions that you use often to the assignable buttons you find most

to
convenient to personalize the camera to your needs and preferences.
Power options
You can power the camera using commercially available V-mount batteries or power sources connected to the DC IN 12V terminal (XLR 4-pin jack) (A 26). The camera also offers power outputs (24 V DC, 12 V DC or D-Tap) to supply power to connected accessories (A 28).
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 123). Connect the camera to a network (Wi-Fi
7
or wired)
to operate it remotely from a network device using the Browser Remote application (A 168). Browser Remote lets you check the live view image from the camera, adjust main camera settings and change the metadata embedded with XF-AVC clips.

The optional WFT-E6 or WFT-E8 Wireless File Transmitter is required.
Versatile Artistic Expression
Slow & fast motion (A 68)
Change the shooting frame rate to create a slow motion effect (up to 1/10 of the normal speed) or fast motion effect (up to 60x the normal speed).
Custom picture settings
Select one of the preset color 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. With wide color space options such as BT.2020 Gamut and Cinema Gamut, and the new Canon Log 3 gamma curve, which keeps the characteristics of the Canon Log gamma while expanding the dynamic range, you can be sure that the camera covers your creative needs.
Other Functions
IP streaming and FTP transfer
Connect the camera to a network (Wi-Fi to stream live transmissions or breaking images via IP and to transfer sub recordings (XF-AVC Proxy clips) from the SD card to a remote server using the FTP protocol.

The optional WFT-E6 or WFT-E8 Wireless File Transmitter is required.
Software for aiding production workflow
Canon XF Utility (A 160) lets you copy the XF-AVC clips you recorded from your recording media to a computer, play back the clips and organize them. Cinema RAW Development (A 160) can develop 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.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF and autofocus functions
Z
only)
(
The camera features Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, which covers almost 80% of the 2K or 4K recording area, and offers various autofocus functions (A 89): 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.
Z
The camera also features face detection
(A 96), tracking of moving subjects (A 97) and the Dual Pixel Focus Guide function (A 90), a visual, intuitive guide that you can use to check if the image is in focus. This can be very helpful to ensure you always get amazingly sharp 4K video.
Assistance functions
The camera offers a number of assistance functions, such as peaking and magnification (A 90), onscreen markers (A 98), zebra patterns (A 99), B&W image (A 193), false color display (A 100) and waveform monitor (A 115) that you can display on an optional viewfinder or on external monitors connected to the MON. terminals or HDMI OUT terminal. When using a logarithmic gamma curve, you can also apply a LUT (A 154) for easier monitoring.
Other improved features
• Five levels of ND filter (A 78).
Z[
• In-camera correction for peripheral illumination
and chromatic aberration (A 47).
• Built-in level (electronic horizon) (A 40).
• Illuminated buttons for night time or black-out operation.

Shoot in 4K mode (A 65).
You can record RAW data on a CDX-36150 Recorder docked with the camera*. You can also record
Intra-frame (YCbCr 4:2:2) 4K data on a CDX-36150 Recorder or on a CFast card in the camera.
In addition to the main RAW recording, you can record simultaneously an additional sub recording
in the camera (A 71). You can use the CFast card (XF-AVC clips, 4K or 2K) or SD card (XF-AVC Proxy clips, 2K), depending on the type of sub recording clips you need or how you intend to use them in post-production.
After recording RAW data, you can develop the RAW data using the Cinema RAW Development
software (A 160) to generate full-quality data. Using the Canon RAW Plugin, you can work with RAW recordings directly from supported NLE applications.
• You can also generate proxy data with the software.
• YCbCr 4:2:2 clips recorded on the CFast card can be treated as full-quality data without any additional processing.
Transfer the 2K clips recorded in the camera or CDX-36150 Recorder, or proxy data generated by
the software, to your NLE system and edit offline (A 160).
Perform color grading based on the full-quality data.
* For details about docking the CDX-36150 Recorder with the camera and using it to record, refer to
the EOS C700 models

Preparing the Backup Battery

The camera uses a CR2025 lithium button battery as a backup battery to ensure that the camera’s settings are not lost when no other power source is connected to the camera. To install the supplied lithium button battery, you will need to remove any extension modules attached to the camera*.
* The camera is shipped with the battery adapter for V-mount batteries attached.

Removing an Extension Module

The following procedure is explained using the battery adapter for V-mount batteries supplied with the camera as example.
23
1 Use the supplied hex wrench to remove the four fixation screws from the top and bottom of the
battery adapter.
2 Slide the battery adapter release switch in the direction of the arrow.
• The locking lever will pop out.
3 Pull the locking lever all the way up and pull the top of the battery adapter away from the camera.
4 Lift up the battery adapter and remove it from the camera.
5 Push down the locking lever until it clicks.
Preparing the Backup Battery
NOTES

The camera features a built-in backup battery so the camera settings are not lost while you replace the lithium button battery.
1 Make sure no power supply is connected to the DC IN 12V
24
terminal.
2 Turn the lithium battery compartment cover to the OPEN
position and remove the cover.
• Use a coin or a similar tool. If you keep turning the cover beyond the OPEN point, the cover will rise a little, making it easier to grab.
3 Insert the supplied lithium button battery with the + side
facing out.
4 Replace the cover and turn it to the LOCK position to lock it.
• The built-in backup battery will be completely depleted if you do not use the camera for about 1 month. Replacing the lithium button battery in such case will reset all the camera’s settings to default values. To avoid losing the settings, you can save them on an SD card in advance (A 140).
• To recharge the built-in backup battery, turn off the camera and connect a sufficiently charged power source (battery or DC IN 12V terminal). The built-in backup battery will be fully charged in about 24 hours.

Installing an Extension Module

The following procedure is explained using the battery adapter for V-mount batteries supplied with the camera as example.
1 Slide the battery adapter release switch in the direction of the arrow.
• The locking lever will pop out. Once it does, pull the locking lever all the way up.
2 Attach the battery adapter to the camera and slide it down.
• Align the positioning protrusions on the battery adapter with the holes on the camera’s body.
3 Gently press the battery adapter toward the camera.
