Creators seeking a rich cinematic look and versatile imaging tools can now turn to Canon's RF-mount EOS C400 6K Full-Frame Digital Cinema Camera. Featuring a new 6K full-frame, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, the C400 offers three base ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800, covering a wide range of lighting conditions. This camera merges high-resolution imagery with cine-style and broadcast features, including an optional Cooke/i PL mount, return video, and Super35 and Super16 modes. It also supports solo shooter-friendly functions like Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II, internal ND filters, and a compact, lightweight design.
6K Full-Frame Sensor At the core of the C400 is Canon's new 6K CMOS sensor, which delivers exceptionally low noise, enhanced sensitivity, and improved 4K imagery through 6K oversampling. This is achieved through advanced light capture technology in the back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor.
Triple-Base ISOs The 6K CMOS sensor offers three ISO speeds: 800, 3200, and 12,800, allowing you to capture bright settings like Times Square or sunny landscapes, as well as nuanced low-light scenes like interior locations or nighttime cityscapes.
Multiple Recording Formats The C400 supports various recording formats to meet different project needs, including up to 6K60 Cinema RAW and HQ, ST, and LT Cinema RAW Light 12-bit modes. It offers oversampled 4K with stunning detail in 10-bit 4:2:2 at frame rates up to 120p, without cropping the sensor image. Slow- and fast-motion can be captured at UHD 4K120 and 2K180. Editing is streamlined with two new codecs: XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S, which simplify the naming system, folder structure, and metadata preservation within the MP4 format.
Optional PL-Mount Adapter Expand your lens choices with the optional PL-RF adapter, which accommodates a range of professional cinema lenses and transfers Cooke/i metadata for visual effects and post-production uses.
Dual Media Slots The C400 includes CFexpress Type-B and SD card slots, allowing sub-recording and proxy capture on the SD card while simultaneously recording raw footage on a CFexpress card.
Mechanical ND Filters Whether shooting a feature film or capturing run-and-gun documentary footage, the C400's mechanical ND filters provide up to 10 stops of filtration, enabling quick exposure adjustments without altering the lens's depth of field.
Compact, Lightweight Body The RF lens mount’s short flange back reduces the camera's size, making it ideal for gimbal, handheld, or drone capture.
Improved Autofocus Function For shoots without a focus puller, the C400's Dual-Pixel autofocus function, enhanced by the back-illuminated CMOS sensor's wider area, offers intelligent tracking of eyes, face, head, and body. For nature documentaries, it can detect the eyes, face, or body of select animals, regardless of size or facial orientation.
Production and Broadcast Features The C400 features interfaces suitable for both film and broadcast productions, including 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI video outputs, dual mini-XLR audio inputs, timecode, genlock, return video DIN connectors, and a 12-pin lens port. An automatic clear-scan mode detects your light source's frequency, reducing or eliminating flicker from LED walls.
LCD, Handle, and Grip Ergonomic improvements include a new touchscreen LCD, grip, and battery. The LCD mount adjusts for optimal positioning whether shooting handheld, shoulder-mounted, or on a tripod. The articulated handgrip features a multifunction shoe, three assignable buttons, and captive screws to prevent loss.
Ethernet/Wi-Fi Control and IP Streaming Use the C400's Ethernet port and Canon's IP-based XC protocol for remote control shading with RC-IP1000, RC-IP100, or third-party devices. The Canon RCCA (Remote Control Camera Application) is compatible with the C400, enabling camera setting adjustments and multicamera control. The C400 also supports IP streaming using the SRT protocol.
