CINEMA EOS
A Digital Cinema Camera with Few Competitors
The Canon EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera is the flagship of the Cinema EOS family, offering
many contemporary high-resolution motion-imaging choices. Direct readout from its Canon-developed
Super 35mm 4K CMOS image sensor eliminates the debayering process and allows for uncompressed
2K or HD 4:4:4 RGB, as well as 4K Half Raw, at up to 120P frame rates to be output to external
recorders via 3G-SDI serial interface. To accommodate 4K production, it can also image in either
the cinema-centric 4096 x 2160 format, or the television-centric 3840 x 2160 UHDTV format by
delivering uncompressed 4K RAW output to external recorders.
The First Ever Canon 4K DSLR Cinema Camera
The Canon EOS-1D C 4K DSLR Cinema Camera is a singularly unique, self-contained motion-imaging
system. It utilizes a Canon-developed Full-Frame 18.1 Megapixel CMOS image sensor and offers
digital 4K at 24 fps motion imaging, two separate modes of 16:9 HD motion imaging, and full-frame
image grabs with resolution suitable for high-end digital stills – all captured in-camera to CF cards.
Motion-JPEG compression is used for 4K YUV 4:2:2 recording, and MPEG-4 AVCHD / H.264 codecs for
the two HD modes – each at high data rates – help ensure excellent image capture performance.
Canon’s First Entry Into the Digital Cinema Market
Incorporating Canon’s innovative Super 35mm imaging system, the EOS C300 Digital Cinema
Camera’s 50 Mbps 4:2:2 XF Codec not only holds up to the most rigorous color correction, but also
conforms to worldwide broadcast standards. A pair of CF card slots affords a choice between double
slot recording for enhanced security and Relay Recording for continuous roll time. Coupled with its
superb low-light performance and filmic grain structure, the EOS C300 offers intuitive ergonomics
that let it tuck into places that other cameras cannot.
A Digital HD Camera Designed for Maximum Creative Freedom
Optimized for one-person use and compatible with the full range of Canon EF, EF-S, and EF-mount
CN-E Cinema lenses, the greatly evolved Canon EOS C100 Mark II Digital HD camera integrates the
same Emmy
®
-Award winning Canon Super 35mm CMOS Sensor used in all of Canon’s Cinema EOS
cameras, but now it replaces the Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor with the more sophisticated
Canon DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor. In addition to improved RGB video processing, the camera’s dual
codec capability supports simultaneous AVCHD and MP4 recording, including 59.94P capture along
with slow and fast motion recording. A re-designed 270˚ rotating 3.5-inch OLED panel, and a tiltable
large EVF with large-sized eyecup, further empower the camera operator.
CINEMA CAMERAS
The Cinema EOS System includes the EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera; the EOS-1D C 4K DSLR Cinema Camera;
the EOS C300 Digital Cinema Camera; and the EOS C100 Mark II Digital Video Camera. Each camera offers superb image
performance and outstanding operational features and benefits. They are innovative, digitally and physically robust,
and backed by Canon’s legendary high-quality craftsmanship. Indeed, these are the cinema cameras that let you go
wherever the story takes you.
T2.8 L S/SP covers wide to modest telephoto
shots. When the two lenses are used as a pair,
they cover a very broad zoom range. They also
feature a constant T-number (2.8) throughout
their zoom ranges as well as the latest
advancements in lens design for outstanding
image quality and minimal distortion. Both
zoom lenses are ideal for Steadicam™ and
hand-held shooting as well as for applications
beyond filmmaking.
Canon Cinema Prime Lenses
The flexible series of Canon Cinema Prime
Lenses offers spectacular 4K-image quality
and a full-frame image circle, in lightweight,
compact designs. This family of lenses features
high optical speed, produces amazingly sharp
images and superb contrast, and maintains
tightly controlled focus breathing and
geometric distortion. Low T-numbers enable
better low-light shooting and enhanced image
expression with shallow depth-of-field and
beautiful bokeh of large image circles.
These EF-mount models offer consistent form
factors and markings that have been optimized
for motion picture production, and represent
the beginning of an evolving family of cinema
primes. Canon Cinema Prime Lenses are also
compatible – under manual operation – with
all Canon EOS DSLR models, including the
Canon Cinema Zoom and
Compact Zoom Lenses
Canon Cinema Zoom and Compact Zoom Lenses
use advanced optical glass materials, optical
coatings and powerful sophisticated design
techniques to offer amazing 4K optical
performance. All four lens models are available
in EF- or PL-mount versions, and for added
flexibility the mount on all models can be
switched at a Canon service facility.
Zoom Lens Series – Canon Cinema Zoom Lenses
offer extraordinary optical performance that
exceeds 4K resolution. They combine fluorite
and aspherical lens elements, the latest in
advanced optical coatings and superb lens
designs for outstanding edge-to-edge image
quality. These lenses also feature minimal
lens distortions and exceed the resolving
power of the prime lenses at all zoom levels.
Surprisingly low-weight, the wide-angle
CN-E14.5–60mm T2.6 L S/SP and telephoto
CN-E30–300mm T2.95–3.7 L S/SP cover the
range of focal lengths most commonly used
in filmmaking.
Compact Zoom Lens Series – Canon Cinema
Compact Zoom Lenses offer 4K resolution in
form factors that enable more flexible, less
intrusive shooting. The CN-E15.5–47mm
T2.8 L S/SP delivers a wide to medium range
of focal lengths, while the CN-E30–105mm
CINEMA LENSES
Canon’s expanding lineup of dedicated Super 35mm
Cinema Lenses is engineered to meet the most demanding
requirements of high-end cinematography. Covering
a wide range of popular cinema focal lengths in
a series of Zooms, Compact Zooms, Prime and
CINE-SERVO Lenses, it’s one of the most complete
lineups of lenses available to any filmmaker.
Whether you are involved in film production,

full-frame EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III, as
well as the EOS 7D Mark II and EOS 70D models
that use APS-C sized image sensors.
CINE-SERVO Lenses
Designed for EF- and PL-mount Cameras,
Canon CINE-SERVO lenses provide outstanding
versatility and operability while offering
superb 4K optical performance, making them
ideal for cinema and broadcast applications.
Cinema Lens Gearing and Control
Canon Cinema Lenses meet cinematographers’
highest expectations of control over focus, iris
and zoom. Wide rotation angles – especially on
focus controls – combine with large, highly
visible scales, high mechanical accuracy of
each control, and a carefully implemented
tactile resistance that augments operational
precision. A unique optical design that
significantly minimizes focus breathing
facilitates a new level of creative focus pulls.
The Cinema Zoom lenses’ associated three
gears are precisely matched in location and
diameter to facilitate convenient lens exchange
during a shoot. The same is true for the Cinema
Compact Zoom lens series, and for the series of
Cinema Prime lenses.
