Canon EOS C70: Professional Cinema and Compact Design

PROFESSIONAL CINEMA. COMPACT DESIGN.

The Canon EOS C70 offers exceptional cinema capabilities in a compact package. Enjoy stunning images with a 4K Super 35mm DGO Sensor and all the built-in features you could ask for, including ND Filters, mini XLRs, direct touch rotatable LCD screen, Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, and excellent battery life. Making the EOS C70 even more powerful is compatibility with Canon's expanding line of high-performance RF Lenses.

IMPRESSIVE IMAGE QUALITY

Get smooth blacks and bold colors. The EOS C70’s Super 35mm DGO Sensor generates 16+ stops of total dynamic range and maintains low noise levels in order to prioritize saturation for bright areas and lower noise for darker areas.

SERIOUS CINEMA IN A SMALL PACKAGE

Control your dynamic range by choosing between Canon Log 2 or Canon Log 3 Gamma, and capture frame rates up to 120 fps in 4K or up to 180 fps in 2K CROP mode–all with electronic image stabilization. Enhance the EOS C70 further by synchronizing multi-camera productions via the built-in timecode port and adding Cinema RAW Light internal recording, Canon 709 Custom Picture Profile, XF-AVC Intra 4K 60p recording, and other new features via a free firmware upgrade.

CANON’S RF SYSTEM & LEGENDARY LENSES

The EOS C70 is a cinema powerhouse all on its own and is engineered with a built-in RF mount for compatibility with Canon’s expanding line of high-performance RF Lenses.

For increased flexibility, the EOS C70 is also compatible with Canon’s line of award-winning EF lenses using the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x. This maintains a similar full-frame angle of view on the Super 35mm sensor, but boosts the speed of the attached lens by an average of 1-stop.

FEATURES

Canon Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor, 16+ stops of Total Dynamic Range

The EOS C70 features Canon's next generation Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor. This sensor is capable of a total dynamic range in excess of 16 stops and includes Canon’s exclusive Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology.

Enhanced Clear Scan Mode

Clear Scan shutter mode helps reduce or virtually eliminate the flickering caused by some LED walls.

Canon Log 2 and 3, PQ, and HLG Recording

The EOS C70 supports both Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 Gamma. In post-production, Canon Log is designed to reproduce the entire tonal range that the CMOS image sensor is capable of. Log workflows provide the user with higher dynamic range (16+ stops), more highlight and shadow retention, and more flexibility in color grading.

Canon Log 2 provides the largest dynamic range and image detail. However, while Canon Log 2 provides the most post-production flexibility and full dynamic range of the sensor, it typically requires more time in post and color correction.

For users looking for most of the benefits of a log workflow, but with shorter turnaround times, Canon Log 3 provides an alternative with only a slightly reduced dynamic range of 14 stops.

The EOS C70 also features HLG and PQ compliance with ITU-BT.2100 in Custom Picture (CP) presets, allowing users to record HDR footage instantly without grading.

Adjustable Focus Guide Size

The EOS C70's Focus Guide feature offers two sizes - Normal and Large, which is approximately 2x bigger than the Normal option.

RF Mount

The EOS C70 is the first Cinema EOS camera engineered with a built-in RF mount making it compatible with Canon’s expanding line of high-performance RF lenses. The short flange distance helps to dramatically reduce body depth, resulting in a more compact design.

The latest firmware adds compatibility with the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z lens and the RF Cinema Prime Series of lenses.

Digital Tele-Converter

The digital tele-converter adds focal length versatility to the EOS C70. The feature allows a user to change the angle of view with image magnification options of 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x or 3x.

Other adapters that are compatible with EOS C70, include:

* Canon plans to gradually expand the list of compatible lenses by providing free-of-charge firmware updates. EF lenses are still compatible with the camera, but Canon recommends that firmware updates be installed in order to effectively utilize functions which link the camera and lens. For a complete list of compatible lenses, please refer to the C70 Instruction Manual.

The December 2024 firmware update brings the EOS C70 compatibility with the following lenses:

RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z zoom lens
RF24mm F1.4 L VCM hybrid lens
RF50mm F1.4 L VCM hybrid lens
RF17-120mm CINE-SERVO lens

Waveform Monitor / Vectorscope

Users have the option to double the size of the on-screen waveform monitor and vectorscope and to adjust opacity (transparency) of the monitor, making it easier to see and adjust exposure while shooting. The vectorscope displays the custom picture color space along with the name for each color.

Compact, Uni-Body Design

The EOS C70 features a uni-body design that exhibits a compact form factor and an ergonomic built-in grip making handheld shooting easy and comfortable.

Built-in Neutral Density Filter System

The thin, motorized ND filter unit has been specifically designed for the RF mount's short flange back. It offers up to 10 stops of ND, allowing users to shoot in various lighting conditions.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology uses every pixel on the imaging sensor to detect focus and to capture actual image information, offering users high precision focusing and exceptional image quality.

Face Detection AF in the EOS C70 makes it possible to select a subject via the RF lens’ control ring or camera dial. This allows you to make adjustments without having to change the position of your hands or take your eyes away from the shot. The firmware also enables Head Detection allowing the EOS C70 to detect a subject’s head even when looking backward, and changes the shape of the AF Frame based on the subject detected during tracking.

Eye AF

Eye AF detects and tracks the subject’s pupil for precise focusing. Eye Detection AF, Face Detection AF and Subject Tracking AF during Slow and Fast Recording allow for more accurate auto focus performance at accelerated frame rates.

Focus Meter

The focus meter allows you to select up to three separate focus points in your shot. Each selected point is identified by either a red, green, or blue mark on the viewfinder. When the selected point is in focus, the border of the viewfinder lights up in that color to easily let you know that you are in focus. This feature can only be used with lenses that support AF functionality.

Auto ISO/Gain Control

The EOS C70 is the first Cinema EOS camera to feature Auto ISO and Gain Control. EOS C70 can automatically adjust sensitivity by utilizing the DGO sensor characteristics to switch gain smoothly, helping users concentrate on framing without worrying about aperture and other camera settings when moving from indoor to outdoor locations with significant changes in lighting.

Dual SD Card Slots with Various Recording Options

The EOS C70 has dual SD card slots for simultaneous recording in different formats, including 4K/HD and XF-AVC/MP4.

Look File for Recording (User LUT)

The EOS C70 has a new option called Look File to import '.Cube' type 3D LUTs for use while recording. This function greatly improves the flexibility of EOS C70 in professional workflows.

A new viewing assist feature called CMT 709 provides the ability to see on-set how the video will look on a REC.709 monitor when recording in Canon Log 2 or Canon Log 3. This is a great starting point for any color grading, and facilitates making changes while filming, which reduces the need to "fix it in post."

4K 60p Intra-frame Recording

XF-AVC Intra-Frame 60p records at a bit rate of 600Mbps and offers users a lightweight, high-quality codec that helps to minimize storage costs, speed up file transfer and record onto the C70's SD media. Proxy files can be named using the recommended “_Proxy” suffix, which enhances compatibility with non-linear editing systems.

Cinema RAW Light Internal Recording

Cinema RAW Light internal recording capabilities in the EOS C70 camera further enhances the recording capabilities of what's already a powerful digital imaging machine. This compact cinema camera can capture 12-bit Cinema RAW Light internally to compatible SD cards. Cinema RAW Light captures the widest dynamic range from the Dual Gain Output sensor (16+ stops total) and allows the most flexibility to grade captured content. Three quality settings of Cinema RAW Light are available: RAW HQ (high quality), RAW ST (standard quality), and RAW LT (light recording). All three modes are 12-bit regardless of frame rate. Lastly, Cinema RAW Light is compatible with Proxy and Double-Slot recording.

Frame and Interval Recording Modes

Frame and Interval Recording modes add even more recording flexibility to the EOS C70 camera by allowing easy creation of stop motion and time-lapse sequences when recording in the XF-AVC and MP4 formats. Frame recording is for stop motion capture, and every press of the record button captures a user-determined number of frames. Interval Recording sets the interval and number of frames to be captured for time-lapse sequences. Both recording modes help operators further tell their story in a more creative and inspiring form and are easy to use.
