PL- or EF-Mount
To integrate easily into the working style and equipment array of
film crews and production houses, the Cinema EOS System offers
two different camera mounts. The EOS C500 PL and EOS C300 PL
feature the industry-standard PL mount and are compatible both
with suitably configured Canon Cinema Zoom PL-mount lenses and
the majority of third-party PL-compatible zoom and prime lenses
available for 35mm motion picture cameras.
Wireless Capability
To provide unique capabilities not typically available in cinema
cameras, Cinema EOS cameras connect to the optional Canon
Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E6A Unit that lets users remotely
control systems from up to 150 feet away over wireless networks
from a PC, smartphone, tablet or similar device. You can start or stop
recording, adjust white balance, gain and other parameters, and even
adjust the focus and aperture of Canon EF lenses.
Sealed areas

graphite sheet conducts
sensor heat towards the

Rugged, Durable, Quiet
Designed to reliably withstand use in a range of hostile and adverse
environments in the field, Cinema EOS cameras feature tight sealing
for protection against dust, and provide reliable operation in both
wet and cold weather conditions. Robust, splash-resistant
magnesium-alloy bodies provide tough, durable strength that
supports heavy lenses and accessories, while the resultant light
weight and compact size enables users to obtain footage in a wide
variety of situations. An internal cooling system with silent fans and
vents keeps the camera cool even in hot conditions, drawing
unwanted heat out of the camera body through vents at separate
positions. An innovative graphite sheet conducts heat from the
image sensor. Operation is quiet and smooth, thereby ensuring that
sound recording and on-screen images remain undisturbed.
The EOS C500, EOS-1D C, EOS C300 and EOS C100 digital cameras
are available with a Canon EF lens mount and are compatible with
Canon Cinema Zoom, Compact Zoom and Prime EF-mount lenses,
as well as the vast array of Canon’s standard EF lenses, including
Super Telephotos, and specialty Tilt-Shift, Macro and Fisheye – over
60 lenses in all. Electronic contacts built into EF-Mount cinema

WFT-E6A
Dust-proof, Splash-proof Design Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E6A UnitCooling System
cameras and lenses enable direct communication between each
device – allowing lens metadata to be displayed in the viewfinder and
for the T-number and focus position to be recorded in the video file.
In addition, when connected to the optional Canon Wireless File
Transmitter WFT-E6A Unit, select functions can be controlled remotely
– further expanding the camera’s flexibility.
