The Canon EOS C100 incorporates a number of key features that truly mark it as a professional HD video
camcorder capable of achieving outstanding results in a range of critical situations. The camera features
four, built-in neutral density filters that facilitate shooting over a wide range of scene illumination, as well
as augmenting control over depth-of-field and exposure. On the record side, twin SD-format card slots
are available for relay recording and media copying. Additional features include a secure HDMI cable
connection, and assignable function buttons to tailor operational functionality to match individual
shooting practices. A highly ecient cooling system helps to ensure reliable operation over extended
shooting durations within very challenging environmental conditions.

Dual SD Card Slots for Relay Recording
User-friendly SDHC and SDXC cards represent a versatile
and readily available choice of recording media for a wide
range of HD video applications. The use of twin card slots
for relay or continuous recording further extends the time
available for continuous interviews or long-form briefings
– the second SD card takes over automatically as the first one
becomes full. Divided files can be re-assembled seamlessly into
a single video file using the Canon-supplied Data Import Utility
software application (included with camera). A 64GB card
oers a remarkable 355 minutes of record time at a 24 Mbps
record data rate.
Simultaneous Recording/Down-Conversion
from HD to SD Format
Dual SD card slots let you create duplicate or backup files via
simultaneous recording across both media – a particularly
valuable feature during critical applications such as documentary
interviews and special events that cannot be repeated. The
EOS C100 can also be used to down-convert HD-format
images to SD-format files needed for distributing via DVD,
or for uploading compressed video images to a website.
Built-in ND Filter Mechanism
The EOS C100 is equipped with a versatile neutral density
filter that enables four dierent, flag-design ND windows –
“clear,” two-stop, four-stop and six-stop values – to be placed
manually in front of the CMOS sensor using a cam mechanism.
A dust-resistant design helps to ensure a reliable operation
equivalent to that oered by the high-end EOS C300, which
is functionally identical aside from being power-driven.
Highly-Efficient Cooling System
To achieve more ecient cooling of critical electronic parts,
the EOS C100 incorporates a new mechanical construction
that helps ensure reliable, durable operation. Two separate,
heat-dissipating exhaust ports help cool the CMOS image
sensor and the main electronic circuit boards.

Assignable Function Buttons
To help streamline activities during demanding video shoots,
many of the EOS C100’s frequently used functions have
been assigned to an array of 15 buttons, 6 of which can be
programmed by the user to handle specific operations.
Other Enhancements
Initialize Cards During Recording – New SD-format media
can be initialized in one drive slot, while the second card
continues to record video in the other.
Pre REC – Approximately three seconds of video images
are constantly recorded to the EOS C100’s internal buer
memory, helping ensure that you never miss a unique
shooting opportunity on location.
Black Balance Adjustment – Unbalances in RGB video black
levels that might arise during extended shooting in high
ambient temperature situations are automatically corrected
by capping the camera and initiating a simple procedure.
Remote Terminal – Designed to be fully Local Application
Control Bus/LANC-compatible, the EOS C100 can be
remotely controlled during situations where you cannot
secure access to use controls and functions, or when using
a tripod handle or jib arm that places the camera body
beyond convenient reach.
