3 EOS C300 Best Practices Guide
Cooling System:
There are cooling holes on both the left and right sides of the camera body (fresh air intake), as
well as at the top (warm air exhaust). It is vital that these be open at all times, and not blocked with tape or
covered by various accessories fitted to the camera. Operators must be aware of the location of these cool-
ing vents, and insure that the cooling system is not blocked in any way.
Powering the camera:
Canon recommends that Canon batteries be used to power the camera
The BP-955 battery pack comes with the camera. Typical operation/recording time for the
BP-955 battery is 115 minutes
Additional Canon brand batteries which are compatible with the EOS C300 and C300 PL:
• BP-950G, BP-970G, BP-975
(With the BP970G and BP-975 batteries, the battery door will not close)
The battery door is removable
(note that this will make the camera more vulnerable to dust, moisture and so on):
1. Slide down the BATT OPEN switch and open the battery compartment cover
2. Push down on the latch at the bottom of the battery compartment
3. Gently pull out the battery compartment door.
Checking battery power:
a). A button on the battery can be pressed, and LEDs on the battery will indicate its
approximate state of charge
b). Approximate percentage of charge and remaining battery run time can be displayed
in the camera’s viewfinder, and on its LCD monitor (please note that these are not
precise numbers, and depending on conditions may not be entirely accurate).
Press the DISPLAY button to turn on-screen displays on or off; the main Power Switch must be
in CAMERA position.
