The Peripheral Border Display, also known as Display Level 2, will be enhanced to view the following at a glance: Sensor Mode and Resolution, Recording codec selected for each card slot, Custom Picture Gamma and color space, Digital Image Stabilization status, and the tilt and roll degrees of the electronic level.
The EOS C400 and EOS C80 cameras will support Distortion and Chromatic Aberration correction while playing back Cinema RAW Light clips on camera. This ensures productions can accurately review takes on-set without needing to offload the card to a computer first.
Both cameras will now be able to output CV Protocol to multiple devices for virtual productions. Lens metadata can be utilized by several different computers running our CV Metadata Extraction plugin, greatly enhancing usability in virtual set environments.
The number of look/LUT files that can be registered will increase from 20 to 256 for the EOS C400 and EOS C80 cameras, along with the capability to pause Digital IS during recording.
Also added for the EOS C400 camera is the ability to combine Tracking AF with manual focus control. While Tracking AF is enabled, a user can adjust focus manually by using the lens focus ring. Once manual focus control is completed, the camera will maintain focus, and Tracking AF will resume automatically.
