NOTES
• Depending on the ambient temperature and other shooting conditions, the cooling fan may not turn off even if 
you set [Fan] to [Automatic].

Canon Log Gamma and CINEMA Preset
The Canon Log gamma setting makes use of the image sensor to offer 
spectacular dynamic range. The easiest way to activate Canon Log 
gamma is to use the CINEMA preset settings. In addition to Canon Log 
gamma, the CINEMA preset settings use also other preset picture-related 
settings designed with professional cinematography in mind. Note that 
when you use CINEMA preset settings, other custom picture settings will 
be "locked", making them unavailable for you to change.
With the CINEMA preset settings, the gamma and color matrix (A 114) will be set to the Canon Log setting, 
which will be applied to image recorded on an SD card and output from the HDMI OUT terminal. 
Clips recorded using Canon Log gamma need to be processed in post-production. During post-production, you 
can apply a LUT (look-up table) to clips recorded using Canon Log gamma to view the clips with more natural 
colors. For details about available LUTs, visit your local Canon Web site.
1Open the [/ CINEMA Locked] submenu to activate the CINEMA preset settings.
[~ Camera Setup] > [/ CINEMA Locked]
2 Select [On] and then press the joystick.
• All picture-related settings will be set according to the CINEMA preset values.
•[/ LOCKED] appears on the left of the screen.
Checking the Image from Canon Log Gamma
When Canon Log gamma is used, the image displayed on the screen will appear darker than usual. You can use 
the view assistance function to display an image that approximates the one that would be obtained using a 
normal gamma setting. View assistance is applied on the camcorder screen and can also be applied to a 
monitor connected to the HDMI OUT terminal. It will not appear in your recordings.
When you are shooting with Canon Log gamma and are checking the picture on an external monitor connected 
to the HDMI OUT terminal, you can apply a LUT to the output (A138).
Activating View Assistance
1 Open the [View Assist.] submenu.
[£ OLED/VF Setup] > [View Assist.]
2 Select [On] and then press the joystick.
•  will appear on the lower left of the screen. 
NOTES
• You can enable Canon Log gamma also by selecting the [C9: CINEMA] custom picture file (A111). In such 
case, you can adjust other custom picture settings.

• The camcorder will reset and restart in the selected mode.
Selecting the Bit Rate
The bit rate selected determines also the resolution (frame size) and audio 
recording mode of the recordings. (The audio recording mode is only for 
AVCHD clips.)
1 Open the bit rate submenu for the selected movie format.
For AVCHD: [w Other Functions] > [AVCHD] > [Bit Rate]

Changing Main Camera Functions with the Joystick
You can adjust three main camera functions—shutter speed, white balance and ISO speed/gain—using only the 
joystick (direct setting mode). This section will explain the basic operation of the direct setting mode. For specific 
details about the functions please refer to the each function’s section: shutter speed (A57), white balance 
(A68), ISO speed/gain (A60).
1 Press the joystick.
• The onscreen display of the function to be adjusted will be 
highlighted in orange.
• Push the joystick left/right to change the function to be 
adjusted. Pushing the joystick to the right will cycle through 
the options in the following order: White balance mode 
icon, the ISO speed/gain value and the shutter value.
2 Push the joystick up/down to select the desired value 
(ISO speed, gain, shutter) or desired white balance 
mode and then press the joystick.
• The selected value will be set and the display will return to 
normal.
NOTES
• The direct setting mode will end automatically if no operation 
is performed for about 6 seconds or if you open the menu or 
a status screen. Operating modes:

Shutter Speed Mode
Shutter Speed Mode
Set the shutter speed mode based on the recording conditions. For example, you may want to set slower 
shutter speeds in darker environments. The camcorder offers the following modes.
[Speed]: Allows you to set the shutter speed (in fractions of a second). You can select the increment to use when 
adjusting the shutter speed between 1/3-stop and 1/4-stop increments.
[Angle]: You can set the shutter angle to determine the shutter speed.
[Clear Scan]: Set the frequency in order to record CRT computer monitors without displaying black bands or 
flicker on the screen.
[Slow]: You can set slower shutter speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting. This 
mode is not available during slow & fast motion recording mode.
[Off]: The camcorder uses a standard shutter speed based on the frame rate. Operating modes:
Available shutter speedsThe available shutter speeds vary depending on the system frequency and frame rate.
1During slow & fast motion recording mode, available values will vary depending on the selected shooting frame rate.2In the Browser Remote application, all shutter speeds (1/3-stop and 1/4-stop increments) will be available from the same list.

1 Press the SHUTTER button.
• The current shutter value will be highlighted in orange.
2 Push the joystick up/down to select the desired shutter 
value (shutter speed, angle value or clear scan frequency) 
and then press the joystick.
• The selected shutter value will be set and the display will 
return to normal.
• You can also adjust the shutter value using only the joystick

Shutter Speed Mode
NOTES
• Closing down the aperture when recording under bright conditions may cause the picture to appear soft or out 
of focus. To avoid the loss of sharpness due to diffraction, use a faster shutter speed, a denser ND filter 
(A62) or open up the aperture.
• When the shutter speed mode is set to [Slow], bright red, green or blue dots may appear on the screen. In 
such case, use a faster shutter speed or select a lower ISO speed or gain value (A60).
• Even when using the [C7: EOS Std.] preset custom picture file, if you set the camcorder to a certain shutter 
speed, you may not get the exactly the same image brightness as you would on an EOS digital SLR camera 
set to the same shutter speed.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, you can change the shutter 
speed mode with the remote controller's SHUTTER SELECT button.
Flicker Reduction 
You can perform the following procedure to have the camcorder 
automatically detect and reduce flicker.
1 Open the [Flicker Reduction] submenu.
[~Camera Setup] > [Flicker Reduction]  
2 Select [Automatic] and then press the joystick.
NOTES
• When recording under artificial light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the screen may 
flicker depending on the shutter speed. You may be able to avoid flicker by setting the shutter speed mode to 
[Speed] and the shutter speed to a value matching the frequency of the local electrical system: 1/50* or 1/100 
for 50 Hz systems, 1/60 or 1/120 for 60 Hz systems.
* May not be available depending on the frame rate.



Using Slow Shutter Mode
When recording in dark surroundings, you can obtain a brighter picture by using slow shutter mode. You can 
also use this mode when you wish to add certain effects to your recordings, such as blurring the background 
during panning shots or recording a moving subject with an afterimage trail.
• Image quality may not be as good as when using faster shutter speeds in brighter surroundings.
