The EF mount cinema EOS C300 Mark II camcorder body with dual pixel CMOS AF features a super 35mm CMOS. Canon's Log 3 gamma supports 14 stops of dynamic range. The super 35mm sensor is paired with the Canon DIGIC DV 5 image processor, which uses an innovative method of breaking out red, green, and blue data to enable color performance on a level that would otherwise require three separate chips. The camera records up to 4K DCI resolution video to Cfast 2.0 cards. For more flexibility to adjust your image during post production, the camera also offers Canon's Log gamma mode, which results in excellent tonal reproduction in the highlight and low light regions of an image, and an expanded dynamic range.
