Custom picture settings
With custom picture settings (
A
114), you can enjoy
unparalleled image control to deliver the “look” you
want by adjusting parameters, such as gamma and
sharpness. The custom picture settings can be
recorded onto an SD card, which allows multiple
camcorders to use the same settings, or embedded
in the recording itself.
Canon Log gamma for spectacular dynamic range
You can easily apply the [
/
CINEMA Locked] preset
settings, especially designed with professional
cinematography in mind (
A
58). Using the Canon
Log gamma, you can get recordings with amazing
dynamic range, allowing you to realize in post-
production the artistic vision you desire.
Advanced Professional Features and
Flexibility
Pro-level connectivity
An industry-standard HD/SD SDI terminal (
A
141)
for uncompressed HD signal output, embedded
audio and SMPTE time code (LTC) give the
camcorder the functionality of professional broadcast
cameras. Genlock synchronization (
A
88), the TIME
CODE terminal (
A
89, 90) and SYNC OUT terminal
allow the camcorder to be part of any multi-camera
shooting setup.
Customization
The camcorder features several customization
options. You can assign often-used functions to
assignable buttons (
A
111) so that you can call up
those functions with the press of a single button. You
can also register frequently-used menu settings in an
easy-to-access personal menu (My Menu,
A
30).
Custom functions (
A
123) and custom onscreen
displays (
A
123) give you even more freedom to
control many aspects of the camcorder’s operation.
Save custom picture and menu settings to an SD
card so that you can transfer your setting preferences
to other C300 / C300 PL camcorders in order to use
them in the same way.
Other Functions
#
Automatic Functions (AF/AE)
With compatible EF lenses, you can automatically
adjust the aperture or focus once with the press of a
single button (
A
71, 79) and even use continuous
autofocus (

simple one-person operation.
Remote operation via Wi-Fi
You can attach the optional WFT-E6 Wireless File
Transmitter to the camcorder and operate it remotely
via Wi-Fi using the Wi-Fi Remote application (
A
49).
The Wi-Fi Remote application lets you monitor the
image through live view and remotely control the
focus, shutter speed, ISO speed/gain and other
settings.
Audio
Sound is recorded as 2-channel linear PCM audio
(16-bit/48 kHz). You can use the MIC terminal for
microphones with a Ø 3.5 mm mini-stereo plug or the
two XLR audio input terminals (with phantom power
supply) when recording.
Video scopes
Check the brightness of the image using the
waveform monitor (
A
99), the color of the image
using the vectorscope (
A
100), or the focus using
the edge monitor (
A

Added and improved functionality

(
