Canon’s EOS C400 goes off base for low-light shooting

The EOS C400 is Canon’s first high-end RF-mount cinema camera, packing a lot of features into a more compact system.

It uses a 6K full-frame backside-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor (BSI), boasting 16 stops of dynamic range. It’s also the first camera using triple base ISO technology, aiming to provide cleaner results in low light. The three native ISO levels are 800, 3,200 and 12,800 when shooting Canon Log 2 or 3. An automatic switching mode detects ambient lighting and adjusts the base ISO level accordingly.

The RF mount not only supports a wide array of RF prime, zoom, hybrid, cinema and VR lenses, including Canon’s new CN7x17 KAS T 17-120mm zoom lens (also available with PL mount), but also supports optional EF-EOS R mount adapters as well as a new PL-RF mount adaptor.

Canon is also introducing its Dual Pixel CMOS AF II to its cinema EOS system, for improved autofocus that promises faster, more precise performance. It includes face/eye/body tracking and animal detection and tracking.

The EOS C400 supports several internal recording formats, from Canon’s scalable 12-bit Cinema Raw Light LT/ST/HQ, to 4:2:2 10-bit XF-AVC and the new MP4-based XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S formats.
