Key Features
Features
8.3megapixel Super 35mm CMOS sensor; Full HD
An 8.3megapixel Super 35mm CMOS sensor, designed and manufactured by Canon specifically for video capture, provides 3ch RGB processing for Full HD recording. It delivers superb high-resolution images with high sensitivity, low noise, reduced rolling shutter artefacts and beautifully shallow depth of field.
Canon Log Gamma
Built-in Canon Log Gamma gives neutral image quality with 12 stops of latitude (800% dynamic range) at a base setting of ISO 850. A Wide Dynamic Range option delivers footage with the same wide latitude but does not require grading.
Automated shooting
To facilitate one-person operation, automated functions include One-Shot Auto Focus, Push Auto Iris and Auto White Balance. Full manual control is available when required with a powerful Focus Assist function to aid manual focusing and ensure sharp detailed images.
