With the ability to record 10-bit 4:2:2 files internally at up to 410Mbps in 4K, or 10/12-bit 4:4:4 files in 2K/Full HD,withup to 15 stops of dynamic range,the EOS C300 Mark II provides footage suitable for extensive post-production work, producing crisper images across the full colour spectrum with reduced “colour bleed”. The cameraoffers professional filmmakers and broadcasters alike the very best image quality,recording 4K in both broadcast (3840 x 2160) and DCI cinematic (4096 x 2160) resolutions.The EOS C300 Mark II can record high bitrate 4K files internally to dual CFast 2.0™ media, while simultaneously recording 4K RAW files to an external recorder,offering the flexibility and universal appeal for production at the highest quality available today. Additionally,the ability to record 2K/Full HD Proxy files to an internal SD card, at the same time, further streamlines the production workflow process.

8.85 MP Super 35 mm Canon CMOS sensor

Shoot 4k at up to 410Mbps/10-bit with the Canon XF-AVC H.264 codec for easy 4K integration into existing workflows

15 stops of dynamic range with Canon Log2

Simultaneously record 4K to dual internal CFast2.0™* cards, 2K/FHD proxy files to SD card and output 4K RAW to external devices

Concentrate on the action with improvements in Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Face Detection AF and Auto white balance

High sensitivity, low noise images up to ISO 102,400

Sensor readout speed is improved, producing even lower rolling shutter distortion
Support for BT.2020, Canon Cinema Gamut and DCI-P3 colour space

4 channel 16/24-bit audio
