Canon EOS C70 Cinema Camera (RF Mount)

Cinema Capture in an RF-Mount, Mirrorless Form

Incorporating key Cinema EOS video tools in a mirrorless-style body, the canon eos c70 cinema camera (rf mount) features a Super35 DGO (Dual Gain Output) sensor for capturing nuanced images with up to 16+ stops of high dynamic range. The canon c70 is the first Cinema EOS camera with an RF mount that enables you to use Canon's line of fast, reliable RF lenses with advanced coatings and image stabilization. The innovative DGO system combines two separate gain readings for each photodiode on the sensor, emphasizing saturation in bright areas of your image and lowering noise in darker areas. Video resolutions include DCI 4K capture at rates ranging from 23.98 to 60 fps, plus high-speed options up to 120 fps in UHD 4K and 180 fps in cropped 2K. Pro video functions on this canon eos c70 include unlimited video recording, Dual Pixel CMOS AF autofocus control, a motorized ND filter wheel tucked into the shallower RF-mount flange depth, a BNC timecode input/output connector, and built-in dual mini-XLR audio inputs.

Exceptional Image Quality

Canon Super35 Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor Canon's next-generation Super35 Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor on the c70 canon offers a dynamic range of up to 16+ stops and includes Canon's exclusive Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology. The DGO Sensor generates a high dynamic range and maintains low-noise levels by reading out each pixel with different gains. It combines images using pixels shot with a saturation-prioritizing amplifier for bright areas, and a lower-noise, noise-prioritizing amplifier for darker areas.

DIG!C DV7 Image Processor Canon's DIG!C DV7 image processor takes the extensive raw information captured from the imaging sensor and processes it for output. The DiG!C engine is also the driving force behind features such as high frame rate recording, Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor, Dual Pixel Autofocus, HDR (PQ) output, Electronic Image Stabilization, and proxy recording.

Canon Log 2 and 3; PQ and HLG Recording The canon eos c70 supports both the full dynamic range Canon Log 2 and the more workflow-friendly Canon Log 3 gamma. Canon Log formats are designed to reproduce the entire tonal range of its CMOS image sensor. Turn to a log post-production workflow when you're seeking a higher dynamic range, improved highlights and shadow retention, and increased grading flexibility. Note that while Canon Log 2 offers the largest dynamic range and image detail, the most post-production flexibility, and the full dynamic range of the sensor, it typically will require more time spent in color correction.

For users seeking most of the benefits of a log workflow but with reduced turnaround times, choose the Canon Log 3 alternative with only a slightly reduced dynamic range of 14 stops.

Highly Adaptable Shooting Style

RF Lens Mount A built-in RF lens mount lends the c70 camera compatibility with Canon's expanding line of high-performance RF-mount lenses. With a short flange distance, the RF mount helps to noticeably reduce the camera body's depth, resulting in a more compact design.

EF Lens Compatibility with Optional Adapter To provide greater flexibility in lens choices, the c70 camera is also compatible with the separately available EF-EOS R 0.71X EF to RF lens mount adapter. This adapter converts your full-frame lenses to Super35 format while also providing a handy aperture speed boost of around one stop. The EF adapter passes EF lens data through the RF mount, providing full Dual-Pixel Autofocus and metadata information for select lenses.

Additional compatible adapters include the EF-EOS R Canon Mount, Canon Control Ring Mount, Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter Mount, and Drop-In Variable ND Filter Mount adapters.

Direct Touch Control The c70 features Direct Touch Control, enabling you to quickly and easily access your favorite menu settings through the fully rotatable LCD screen. Simply touch the 3.5" screen to start/stop recording, set ISO/Gain, color temperature, and iris, and access other critical settings. Recording settings that are located in different menus can now be controlled with one hand, enabling on-the-spot changes even while operating the camera with one hand.

9 x 16 Vertical Capture Use the 1/4"-20 tripod thread built into the grip to position the canon c70 for vertical use when capturing images for digital signage or mobile device use. For easier viewing, the user interface can also be switched for vertical use.

Professional Design Features

Compact Design The compact canon eos c70 features a lightweight design with a built-in ergonomic grip. This smallest of the EOS bodies has two top shoe mounts and comes with a detachable handle and a mic holder.

Mini-XLR Audio Inputs Two mini-XLR inputs with phantom power and manual control dials provide professional audio recording options for the canon c70. The c70 camera supports up to 4-channel audio using dual mini-XLR ports, an internal stereo mic, and a 3.5mm mic input.

Built-In ND Filters Designed specifically for the c70's short flange distance, a thin motorized ND filter unit enables users to quickly select up to 10 stops of neutral density - an especially handy feature for ENG shooters or when shooting in quickly changing lighting conditions.

Timecode Input/Output A BNC connector on the front of the canon eos c70 enables users to input and output timecode, making synching on multicamera shoots easier.

Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus with Touch AF and Face Detection Another innovative c70 canon feature is the Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology, which uses each pixel on the CMOS sensor for both focus detection and image information, resulting in precision focusing and optimal image quality. The canon eos c70 cinema camera (rf mount) is also the first Cinema EOS camera to feature the EOS iTR AF X autofocus function featuring a head-detection algorithm developed using deep-learning technology. In Face Detection mode, this algorithm helps to improve distance measuring and tracking reliability, even when a subject turns their head to the side or back. The c70 also features the innovative Dual Pixel Focus Guide, which provides both front- and back-focus information to let users know where to set the focus during manual pulls.

EIS with Coordinated Control To smooth out handheld shots, the c70 is the first Cinema EOS camera to offer enhanced image stabilization with coordinated control. When used with an RF-mount lens and the canon eos c70's electronic IS, coordinated control optimizes hand-shake correction for even greater vibration reduction than that obtained with an EF-mount lens and electronic IS. When working in the 2K format, the c70 camera's Super16 Digital IS improves performance by using the peripheral area around the center of the 4K sensor to stabilize the image.

Auto ISO/Gain Control In another first for the Cinema EOS line, the c70 can automatically adjust ISO and Gain Control using the DGO (dual gain output) to change gain smoothly, enabling users to concentrate on their framing instead of their aperture control when moving between locations with notable changes in light levels.

RC-V100 Support and LANC Compatible The canon eos c70 body's remote LANC terminal enables remote control using the optional Canon RC-V100 unit. The RC-V100 provides full access to key functions like start/stop, shutter/gain adjustments, focus/iris/zoom settings, display settings, white balance, black gamma, and more.

Advanced Workflow Optimization

Dual SD Card Slots / Multiple Recording Options Dual SD card slots on the c70 enable simultaneous recording in different formats including 4K/HD and XF-AVC/MP4 options. The canon c70 can also capture still photos when on standby in select video modes.

Standard and High Frame Rate to 4K 120p With its new chip design and DIG!C DV7 processor, the canon eos c70 cinema camera (rf mount) is capable of both standard rates ranging from 23.98 to 60fps and ultra-high frame rates. Capture video at frame rates up to 120 fps in 4K and up to 180 fps in the 2K crop mode. Dual Pixel AF is supported by the c70 camera even at high frame rates, keeping your focus even when used on a gimbal or drone. Note: V90 SD cards are recommended for slow- and fast-motion recording.

Log2/3 and Cube LUT Support For greater flexibility during post-production, this camera also offers Canon's Log 2 and Log 3 gamma modes, both of which provide an expanded dynamic range with excellent tonal reproduction for highlights and in low-light areas of your images. The canon c70 also supports .cube 3D LUTs so you can get the most accurate color reproduction on both the LCD and your external viewing monitors.

4K/2K Long GOP Support The canon eos c70 supports the higher-compression Long GOP for longer recording times at rates up to 4K60p. The inter-frame Long GOP compression detects differences between frames by referring to preceding and subsequent frames.

Firmware Updates

Winter 2022 Update With this firmware update, you'll be able to add the latest codec, eye and face detection, and audio metering, as well as streaming, gamma, and LUT support options to your cine-style capture. Efficient intra-frame compression choices now include 4K60p XF-AVC capture and new 24p 240 Mb/s, 30p 300 Mb/s, and 60p 600 Mb/s bit rates. When using a 64GB card, you can now record up to 35 minutes at 24p and up to 14 minutes at 60p.

Livestreamers haven't been neglected—support for Canon's XC streaming protocol enables camera control with the optional RC-IP100 controller and easier development of third-party collaborations. Imaging tools have been updated with enhanced midrange contrast and an emphasis on accurate skin tones using Canon 709 gamma and LUT options. Off-speed shooters will appreciate eye and face detection in slow-/fast-motion modes; and last but not least, 4-channel audio levels can now be viewed onscreen to help you obtain optimal sound quality.
