Frequently asked questions about renting the Canon C300 Mark III

What is the DGO sensor?

DGO (Dual Gain Output) combines pixel reads at different gains to increase dynamic range and reduce noise, especially useful in scenes with very bright and very dark areas.

Which formats and codecs does it record?

It supports Cinema RAW Light and XF‑AVC (10‑bit 4:2:2, Intra and Long GOP). It also allows proxy recording to SD for faster post workflows.

What frame rates can it achieve?

Up to 120 fps in 4K and up to 180 fps in 2K crop, depending on mode and resolution selected.

What does the standard rental kit include?

Usually body C300 Mk III, a basic EF or PL lens (on request), CFexpress cards, batteries, charger, optional monitor/recorder and a basic rig. We can adapt the kit to your production.

Does the camera accept PL mount and anamorphic lenses?

Yes: the C300 Mark III is normally supplied in EF mount, and we provide PL conversion for cinema lenses and anamorphic support on request.

What media and capacity do you recommend for Cinema RAW Light?

The camera uses CFexpress Type B for masters. Required capacity depends on codec and duration: for 1 hour of RAW Light budget several cards (and backups). Contact us for bitrate‑based recommendations.

Does it have built‑in ND filters?

Configuration varies; for professional shoots we usually supply matte box and ND filters (or lenses with filters). Ask about ND options for your kit.

How does Dual Pixel AF perform in professional shoots?

Dual Pixel AF is fast and reliable for run‑and‑gun and moving shots. For critical cinematic focus we recommend a dedicated focus operator and manual pulling or a hybrid AF + puller approach.

What battery life and power options are available?

Battery life depends on the battery and connected accessories. We offer BP‑A batteries and V‑mount/Anton Bauer solutions for long shoots and continuous on‑set power. Chargers included in kits.
