Canon has announced a new free firmware update for the EOS C400 and EOS C80 digital cinema cameras.
Canon is introducing a new Cinema Exposure Mode, which is designed to improve highlight performance when shooting above base ISO levels (up to 2-stops), as well as providing a more streamlined camera menu specifically for LOG shooting. This is said to provide users with greater flexibility in challenging shooting conditions while helping maximise image quality throughout post-production workflows.
The EOS C400 also gets a range of workflow and usability enhancements, including Auto Exposure Ramping Compensation. This was designed for smoother operation in broadcast and live production environments when using supported Cine Servo lenses.
The update adds enhanced compatibility with the new CN30x40 Cine Servo lens.
Availability
The EOS C80 and EOS C400 firmware update will be available to download free of charge from the 19th August.
