Designed for film-makers
The Canon EOS C400 offers unmatched performance in virtual production, live broadcast, and cinema.

It can capture footage in 6K with 16 stops of dynamic range and full-frame BSI, making it excel in film-making and broadcasting. Additionally, its lightweight design makes it comfortable for hand-held shooting.
Here is a closer look at the key features that make it an excellent cinema camera:
6K Full Frame BSI Sensor
The EOS C400 is the first Canon camera to have cutting-edge Back-side Illuminated (BSI) sensor technology. Developed by Canon, this all-new architecture has stacked circuitry below the sensor plane to maximise light efficiency and the speed of sensor read-out. This provides a range of benefits, such as:
- 16 stops dynamic range: Enhances shadows and highlights for more immersive cinematic footage.
- Reduced rolling shutter: Faster sensor readout means better image quality when shooting in quick motions.
- Triple base ISO: ISO 800, 3200, or 12800 ensure optimal signal-to-noise performance, no matter the shooting conditions.
- Enhanced AF performance: Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II ensures precise and swift focus, even in the most challenging environments.
Versatile design
This Canon camera features a compact, modular design that adds to its flexibility. The EOS C400 can be scaled up or down for shooting styles like shoulder mount, handheld, drone, or gimbal. Plus, it offers extensive connectivity options without needing expansion units. The back-illuminated sensor also improves dynamic range for better low-light and AF performance. Moreover, it minimises rolling shutter speed.
