CANON C-700 CINEMA CAMERA

Canon has launched a new Cinema Camera C-700 with new 4K sensor options and also includes a 5 – stop mechanical ND filter as well as anamorphic lens support.

The C-700 and C-700 PL have a 4.5K rolling shutter CMOS sensor with 15 stops of dynamic range. This option also includes Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology for quick autofocus which would benefit while filming documentaries.

Alternatively, there is an option for another model C-700 GS PL variant that comes with a 4.5K global shutter CMOS sensor that has a slightly lower dynamic range of 14 stops and no Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

It has built-in 0.7 inches OLED EVP with 1080p resolution, surround view, view assist, false colors and HDR simulation!

Menu navigation is almost like Alexa at the side of the camera body.

The built-in side display on the left has six function buttons assigned to ISO, shutter, slow motion, aperture, color, and white balance.

The C-700 supports Canon Log 2 and Log 3. Log files allows to capture full dynamic range of the sensor, recording a flat image that needs to be color graded but provides far superior dynamic range and color control.

There is an option to choose Log 2 for the full 15 stop dynamic range with a longer workflow or Log 3 with reduced 14 stop dynamic range but shorter workflow.
