Compact, lightweight, and robust, this camera fits seamlessly into any production, delivering extraordinary performance in both form and function.
Unleash the Power of 6K
At the heart of the EOS C400 is Canon’s newly-developed 6K back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, a technological marvel designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in cinema. This sensor allows for faster readout speeds and significantly reduces noise, ensuring crystal-clear footage even in low-light conditions. Its full-frame architecture maximizes light-capturing efficiency, resulting in stunning 4K quality through 6K oversampling, making each shot more vivid and detailed than ever before.
For filmmakers who need flexibility, the C400's Super 35mm and Super 16 crop modes allow you to switch seamlessly between lens formats, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard lenses while maintaining incredible image quality across the board.
Triple-Base ISO: Capture Every Scene
The EOS C400’s triple-base ISO feature is designed to adapt to any lighting environment. With base ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800, this camera offers unprecedented sensitivity in both brightly lit and low-light conditions. Whether you're shooting in midday sunlight or the dim ambiance of a candlelit room, the C400 allows you to maintain consistent image quality, preserving highlights and shadow details with incredible dynamic range.
Advanced Recording Formats for Every Need
The Canon EOS C400 doesn't just capture incredible visuals; it also delivers unparalleled flexibility in how you record them. You can shoot in 6K/60P Cinema RAW Light for the highest possible quality, while also accessing a variety of additional recording formats, including the newly introduced XF-HEVC S and XF-AVC S. These formats provide advanced data compression while maintaining stunning visual fidelity, giving you more control over file size and workflow efficiency.
With frame rates up to 120P in 4K and 180P in 2K, the C400 is perfect for capturing dynamic slow-motion footage, letting you emphasize every action in breathtaking clarity. And thanks to its dual card slots for CFexpress and SD, you can record simultaneously, ensuring you never miss a moment, even when capturing in RAW.
Precision Focus: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II and iTR AF X
The EOS C400 revolutionizes autofocus with Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, ensuring swift and accurate focus tracking. This advanced system uses deep learning algorithms to enhance subject recognition, enabling precise detection of not just faces, but entire bodies. The iTR AF X system further elevates this experience by introducing animal detection, making it easier than ever to lock focus on fast-moving wildlife or pets during shoots.
The wide AF coverage, combined with Canon’s renowned focus reliability, ensures that whether you're filming an intense action sequence or a nuanced emotional close-up, the C400 keeps your subject sharp and in focus, even in challenging environments.
Built-in ND Filters for Cinematic Control
To help cinematographers manage exposure in various lighting conditions without affecting depth of field, the EOS C400 is equipped with built-in mechanical ND filters. Offering up to ten stops of neutral density, these filters allow for precise control over exposure, making it easy to capture the perfect shot without changing your aperture or shutter speed. The filters are accessible via a simple, ergonomic control on the camera body, providing seamless adjustments on the fly.
Compact, Lightweight, and Ready for Anything
The C400’s compact body is designed for versatility, offering a comfortable fit for handheld shooting while being equally at home mounted on a drone, gimbal, or rig. The camera's lightweight yet durable construction ensures ease of use across a variety of shooting environments, from high-action set pieces to long, static shots. Plus, its ergonomic design includes a reimagined handle and grip for more natural, comfortable shooting angles, reducing fatigue over extended shoots.
Canon has also included a new LCD touchscreen monitor with flexible mounting options, allowing you to position it at the perfect angle for any shooting style, whether handheld, shoulder-mounted, or tripod-based.
Advanced Connectivity for Professional Workflows
Professional filmmakers will appreciate the C400’s broad range of connectivity options. Featuring both Ethernet and built-in Wi-Fi, this camera supports Canon’s IP-based remote control system, enabling easy management from third-party control panels or Canon’s own RC-IP1000 and RC-IP100 controllers. This remote flexibility is ideal for live broadcasts or multi-camera setups, where precision and speed are essential.
With return video input, timecode, and genlock capabilities, the C400 is ready for any production, from high-end film sets to live broadcast environments. Additionally, the camera supports the SRT protocol for IP streaming, allowing for real-time video and audio streaming directly from the camera, making it a versatile tool for today’s fast-paced production workflows.
