Custom Picture Settings
The camera lets you change many settings (A 138) that control various aspects of the image produced. As a
set, all these settings are treated as a single custom picture file. After adjusting the desired settings to your
preference, you can save up to 20 custom picture files (in the camera or on an SD card), and load them later to
apply exactly the same settings (A 137). You can also save the custom picture file as part of the metadata
embedded in clips recorded on the CFast card (A 137).
NOTES
• Custom picture files are exclusively compatible for use only with C300 Mark II cameras.
Selecting Custom Picture Files
Select a custom picture file to apply its settings to your recordings or to
edit, rename, protect, or transfer it.
1 Open the custom picture file’s [Select] screen.
[/ Custom Picture] > [File] > [Select]
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the
camera, you can press the remote controller’s CUSTOM PICT. button
to open the [/ Custom Picture] submenu.
2 Push the joystick up/down or turn the SELECT dial to select the desired file and then press SET.
• Select one of the custom picture files saved in the camera (C1 to C20). To use the settings of a custom
picture file saved on an SD card, copy the file to the camera in advance (A 137).
• When you close the menu, the selected custom picture file’s settings will be applied.
• If you selected a preset picture setting, its icon will appear on the left of the screen. If the detailed settings
were activated ([/ Custom Picture] > [Other Settings] > [Activate] is set to [On]), will appear on the
left of the screen.
Preset Picture Settings
The camera offers the following preset picture settings (combinations of gamma curve, color space and color
matrix). When you edit a custom picture file to your preference, you can use one of the presets or turn the
presets off and change the desired settings individually (A 138).

These settings use Canon Log 2 gamma and presume a
workflow that includes post-production processing.
They achieve an even wider dynamic range than with the
[Canon Log] setting and superior gradation in the shadows
(dark areas of the image). The color space can be selected
from 4 options.
