Experience the quality to realise your vision

An 8.3MP Super 35mm CMOS sensor, designed and manufactured by Canon specifically for video capture, provides stunning Full HD images. Combined with a new video processing system – utilising technology designed for the flagship EOS C500 Digital Cinema camera – it delivers superb high-resolution images with enhanced sensitivity (up to ISO 102,400), low noise, reduced rolling shutter artefacts and beautifully shallow depth of field. Canon Log Gamma provides 12 stops of latitude (800% dynamic range) for maximum post-production flexibility, whilst the Wide DR option supports faster turnaround by delivering footage with wide dynamic range without necessitating colour grading.

Cutting-edge autofocus for added control

The EOS C100 Mark II incorporates Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF offering incredible control with minimal effort. Continuous AF automatically tracks and focuses subjects at the centre of the screen, making action shots easier to capture. One-shot AF with enhanced accuracy makes focussing similarly effortless.

Face Detection AF – which responds to the face of a subject – is also available, making interviews and pieces to camera simple for individual filmmakers.
Select the parameters to suit your production

Shoot without limitations to meet every production goal. Record either AVCHD or MP4 files to two SD memory cards at up to 1080/60P, with relay and simultaneous recording, plus slow and fast motion capture using MP4 for added creative impact. You can even capture AVCHD footage in HD whilst recording MP4 files in SD resolution, for maximum workflow flexibility and quick turnaround.

Easy to carry, effortless to use

The EOS C100 Mark II complements your versatility as an ambitious filmmaker. It’s lightweight and easy to pack and carry, with a splash-resistant durable body built to stand up to the elements. In use, it’s equally filmmaker-friendly. A 3.5” 1.23 million pixel OLED display panel, plus a large, tiltable EVF put you firmly in control of every shoot. Additional automatic functions include Push Auto Iris and Auto White Balance, whilst full manual control is available for expert users. Powerful Focus Assist functions make manual focusing effortless.

Easier sharing, greater control

Built-in Wi-Fi enables FTP file transfer for easy sharing of files, and browser-based remote control. Control options are expanded further using the optional Canon Remote Control RC-V100, giving you the freedom to shoot from previously inaccessible locations.

External recording possibilities

HDMI output allows the EOS C100 Mark II to address the quality demands of the most exacting productions, enabling high bit rate recording to external devices. Embedded time code can be output along with video and audio files.

Added creativity with interchangeable EF lenses

Expand your creative options with a huge range of interchangeable lenses. The EF mount is compatible with Canon 4K EF Cinema lenses plus over 80 EF lenses including specialist options such as Macro and Fish Eye. 3 built-in ND filters with manual control increase shooting versatility.

Capture the audio to complement your footage

Never miss a sound with audio capabilities designed to give your footage a professional edge. Recording options include LPCM or Dolby AC3. The top handle includes two XLR inputs and stereo microphone. The camera body features a built-in mic for continuity recording when using the smallest possible configuration.
