CANONEOS C70 AGENDA
a face and head detection algorithm developed using deep-learning technology and works in conjunction with face detection AF. This improves the reliability of focusing and subject tracking, and is designed to keep focus on a person’s face, even if they turn away. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF has touchscreen controls that can be used to select an object, which is then tracked, with AF points covering 80% of the frame vertically and horizontally. The EOS C70 is also the first of the cinema line to have Auto ISO and a dedicated vertical shooting mode, ideal for social media. The body looks like a pumped-up DSLR or mirrorless camera, and has 13 assignable buttons, a multifunction hand grip, professional input/output terminals including HDMI and two mini XLR terminals for audio. There is a fan ventilation system to prevent overheating. “There is a new user interface, like the C300 Mark III and C500 Mark II, and touchscreen menus for everything,” says Canon’s product marketing specialist

David Parry. “But in the hand it feels like a traditional EOS camera with a rear joystick. And all the controls can be customised. It uses BP-A series cinema camera batteries that can last for around 2.5 hours of continuous shooting.” The more compact size of the camera is partly due to use of the Canon RF mount, which has a short flange back compared to EF lenses. The EOS C70 is the smallest and lightest in Canon’s Cinema EOS line-up, and the first to use the RF mount. The RF mount allows Canon to build faster, more high-tech lenses such as the 28-70mm f/2.0 standard zoom and 15-35mm f/2.8 IS lens. The RF mount has 12 contacts to the body, which provide more power to lenses and allow the camera and lens to communicate ten times faster than on EF lenses. These advantages mean there is a good chance RF lenses will be fitted to more Canon cinema cameras in the future.
