For anyone familiar with Canon's 5D Mark II or 1D product line, the size and weight of the Canon 1DC will be immediately familiar. The Canon EOS 1D-C features an 18.1 Megapixel full frame CMOS image sensor that offers a wide range of image acquisition options, including 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels), HD (1920 x 1080 pixles); or 18-megapixel (5184 x 3456 pixels) still images. The 4K video is recorded as Motion JPEG; the HD is recorded as H.264; and the still images are recorded as RAW or JPEG. All of the selected motion imaging formats can be recorded as normal gamma-corrected video or with Canon Log.

In addition, like with other Cinema EOS products, the Canon 1DC cinema camera exhibits incredible low-light performance, ensuring optimum image quality under conditions of extremely low scene illumination, essential for natural-looking image capture when shooting in challenging environments. For capturing stills, the Canon 1DC cinema camera offers the same level of high performance as an Canon EOS DSLR, with top-of-the-range focusing, exposure, and burst mode.
Canon EOS 1DC features
The Canon 1DC cinema camera is designed to go where other 4K cameras cannot go - into hostile environments, into very cramped spaces, mounted on the end of extended jib arms, or embedded on-set. With onboard 4K recording at 24p or HD recording at a range of frame rates up to 60p; and Clean HD via HDMI, the Canon 1DC camera offers additional capabilities for film and TV production as well as specialty image acquisition applications. For added versatility, record start/stop can be remotely controlled by EOS Utility Software via a WFT unit. |
