Involves the use of CINEMA
RAW, a proprietary standard, that
applies the Canon Log2 gamma .
RAW data can be recoded on a

CFast card double slot + SD card slot
The 4K2 supports four recording modes. 4K recording on the two CFast (2.0) cards simultaneously and the recording of proxy images
with a lower data rate on the SD Card, used for off-line editing, can be performed concurrently. XF-AVC can be combined with Canon
Log 2 gamma while XF-AVC Proxy can be combined Rec.709, for instance. XF-AVC proxy recording alone is another possibility.

AF system
4K shooting requires demanding focusing accuracy. By incorporating Dual Pixel CMOS AF with an expanded area in
which focusing is possible, the problem of focusing during 4K shooting is significantly alleviated.
Expanded area in which focusing is possible
(what is inside the red frame can be moved)
Dual Pixel CMOS AF is a ground-breaking AF technology that uses
both imaging and phase difference AF. With the C300 Mark II, the
focusing area has been expanded to approx. 80% of the image
display on the screen.
Face detection AF also supported by EF lenses
Dual Pixel CMOS AF, now also supports face detection. With the
EOS C100 Mark II, face detection was supported only by STM
lenses
AF speed tuning (10 steps)
Users can tune the AF speed to suit different subject movement and
produce more natural looking defocus and push pull effects.

This function makes it possible to select the responsiveness when
changes have occurred in the subject. When the subject is missing or
the view of the subject becomes obstructed, users can select whether
the subject is to be tracked immediately or after due consideration.

AF system
Browser Remote allows the camera to be remotely operated from a tablet or similar. In situations such as shooting from a
crane or aerial shooting where manual focusing is hard to achieve, wireless focusing enables accurate AF shooting.
Wireless focusing using Browser Remote
Main AF functions of Browser Remote
Using a general-purpose browser, almost all shooting operations
and settings can be controlled from a tablet. The focusing area
can now be moved by touch.
Focusing area can
be moved by
touching the tablet.

The C300 Mark II comes with an OLED CVF which performs better than an LCD CVF in color reproducibility, contrast
and response. It enables users to see a more vivid picture and better supports the shooting of moving subjects.

Completely updated UI
Live View simultaneously on two units supported
The layout has been completely updated on the supposition that users
will mainly use the fingers on both hands to operate their tablets.
Live View display is possible simultaneously on two units. For instance,
with one unit used to check the focusing accomplished by the
individual in charge of focusing and the other unit used for checking by
the client or director.

Only the EF mount model has been commercially developed for the C300 Mark II..
Standard specification
Servicing support
An optional service will be provided to those users who wish for an
EF mount (with lock) or PL mount.
■Users without replacement tools (servicing outlets used)
The mount kit and mount replacement service will be provided for a fee.
(Performance warranted)
■Users with replacement tools (major rental agencies, etc.)
Users are asked to purchase the mount kit, and they will be responsible for
replacing the mount. (No warranty given)

Workflows
A RAW-compatible recorder that supports EOS C500 4K RAW output can also be used with the C300 Mark II. When the C500 and
C300 Mark II are used together, the same shooting equipment can be shared reducing costs.
