Canon EOS C300 PL - Manual (Page 16)

Non-Linear Editing Integration
To manage your recorded material more efficiently, the
EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL offer two solutions: direct
export to Non Linear Editing (NLE) programs through a supplied
software plug-in, or file management through Canon’s supplied
Easy Browser Software. Developed in concert with companies
like Adobe, Apple, Avid and Grass Valley, Canon software
plug-ins give you simple, lossless transfer. You’ll also have
Windows
® / Mac ® compatibility for cross-platform versatility.
For professional editing or file management outside of NLE
programs, Canon’s Easy Browser software offers basic play-
back, backup, metadata management and much more – in a
simple, logical package that doesn’t require extensive training.
Black Balance Adjustment
In ambient conditions that cause the black in the video signal
to shift out of alignment, the EOS C300’s and EOS C300 PL’s
black balance can be easily adjusted to bring it back. A simple
process with the lens cap on the camera, black balance adjust-
ment is especially useful the first time you use the EOS C300
or EOS C300 PL, when your camera has been on the shelf for
an extended period, when you’ll be shooting in a wide range
of temperatures, or when the ISO sensitivity or gain settings
have been changed.
Recording Modes
With the realities of production in mind, the EOS C300 and
EOS C300 PL let you record in a number of different modes,
resolutions and frame rates. You can shoot in both PAL and NTSC
modes at 50Mbps (CBR), 35Mbps (VBR) and 25Mbps (CBR)
with a range of settings for resolution, color, frame rate and
recording time. Whether you’re shooting with the expectation
of significant editing and post-production, recording for
compatibility with HDV editing, or simply creating the longest
possible HD image files, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL will
perform flawlessly.
Custom Pictures
To achieve the look and feel you want in less time during
post-production, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL have 26
different Custom Picture settings. Custom Pictures can include
different image quality adjustments, including gamma, knee,
color matrix, sharpness, noise reduction and more. Settings can be
created in-camera and saved to the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL
or to an SD card for transfer to other cameras. A number of natural
color settings are included with the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL;
others include Cinema setting for post-production and EOS
setting to match images captured by a Canon EOS DSLR.
High-Speed, Slo-Mo, Time-Lapse and Stop-Motion
Beyond the advantages of file-based recording, the EOS C300
and EOS C300 PL offer you more creative possibilities in post-
production. By capturing fewer frames per second, the EOS C300
and EOS C300 PL can transform normal action into intense
high-speed motion up to 60x. By capturing more frames per
second, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL can slow down motion
to 1/2.5x at 720p. You can also program your EOS C300 and
EOS C300 PL to record a set number of frames at defined inter-
vals for amazing time-lapse photography – and its frame-
recording feature is perfect for stop-frame animation.
