Hi,
I'm Aron Randhawa, Product Specialist at
Canon Europe,
and today it's my pleasure to be sharing
with you our latest Cinema EOS firmware
updates
for the EOS C500 Mark II, C300 Mark III
and C70, as well as the EF-EOS R
0.71x Mount Adapter and CN-E
Compact Servo lenses. At canon,
we understand the importance of getting
the most out of your imaging products;
and acting upon the valued feedback from
our users
has resulted in these firmware updates
offering a wealth of additional
functionality,
which are now available to download for
free from our product support webpage.
Now let's begin with a feature we know
many of our users will greatly
appreciate.
We have now added the ability to record
at 4:3
or 6:5 aspect ratio when
shooting in Cinema RAW Light
on the EOS C500 Mark II. Providing
greater anamorphic workflow flexibility,
while utilizing its large 17:9
high-resolution sensor. In addition,
1.8x de-squeeze support has been
added to existing 2x
and 1.3x anamorphic options on the
C500 Mark II
and C300 Mark III, opening up new
possibilities with a wider range of
lenses,
including those from Cooke. Connectivity
on both these cameras has also been
significantly enhanced.
It is now possible to output signals from
both the MONITOR
and HDMI terminals at the same time.
The 12G-SDI output can also be switched
to 2K
or Full HD while shooting at 5.9K
RAW, 4K or UHD resolutions,
allowing further compatibility with
existing 3G-SDI monitors
and equipment. We have also incorporated the
Look File Functionality
previously seen on the EOS C70, into the
C500 Mark II
and C300 Mark III.
Look Files are 3D LUTs that can be
imported into the camera for internal
recording.
As they are registered as part of the
Custom Picture profile,
they can be used with existing
parameters such as sharpness
or noise reduction. Look Files are a
great method to efficiently produce
stylised content without the need to
colour grade in post.
Furthermore, we are excited to announce
that Canon's original
IP-based XC Protocol is now supported on
the C500 Mark II
and C300 Mark III, first introduced
alongside our PTZ remote camera
solutions
such as the CR-N500 earlier this year.
XC Protocol makes it possible for these
cameras
to seamlessly integrate into live
production workflows
and be controlled via the RC-IP100
remote controller.
This allows for functions such as zoom,
Focus,
white balance, and more to be controlled
remotely,
and effortlessly works alongside our
existing PTZ solutions.
Users of the EOS C70 will now have greater
flexibility with our renowned
Dual Pixel CMOS AF system with the
option to select ‘Whole Area’
as a frame size in addition to ‘Small’ and
‘Large’.
When using this new mode, Object Tracking
can be initiated by simply touching the
LCD screen,
as is Face Detection when selecting a
subject's face.
For productions utilising Canon Log or
HDR,
users can also benefit from the C70’s new
HDMI View Assist function, providing a
BT.709 output to the HDMI terminal
for simple external monitoring. Back in
December 2020, we introduced the EF-EOS R
0.71x Mount Adapter with full support
for 3
Canon EF lenses at launch. We are now
adding support for a further
7 zoom lenses. These supported lenses
allow for full optical correction,
auto focus
and metadata compatibility with the EOS
C70,
with even further lenses planned to be
supported in future updates.
Finally, those using Canon's EOS R5
in cinematic productions will now
benefit from enhanced servo lens support.
Both the CN-E 18-80mm and
70-200mm
Compact-Servo lenses are now supported
via the EF-EOS R Mount Adapter,
allowing users to achieve a cinematic
look with supported functions such as
Auto Focus, Servo Zoom and Image
Stabilisation.
These are just a handful of the 24
exciting new features that have been
added to these professional cinema
cameras.
Further enhancements include adding a
2x camera magnification option,
improved Electronic IS performance,
a new power save mode for enhanced
recording time
and much more. For all the details
