Highlights of the Camera
The Canon EOS C200 / EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera is the latest camera in the highly-respected Cinema
EOS line. Cinema EOS cameras are increasingly relied upon by industry professionals due to their state-of-the-art
technology and the cameras’ high quality. The C200 / C200B continues that tradition by offering many features
that will help you articulate your creative vision.

4K Recording System with Cinema Quality
Advanced 4K-compatible Super-35mm-equivalent
CMOS sensor
At the heart of the camera is a Super-35mmequivalent CMOS sensor and two DIGIC DV 6 image
processors, which enable the camera to capture
and process video at an effective pixel count of 8.85
megapixels (4096x2160) and offer a center
resolution of 1,800 TV lines1. The sensor integrates
noise-reduction technology that allows you to record
video at sensitivity levels from ISO 160 to
ISO 256002.

2
Varies depending on the lens used.
The ISO speed range can be extended up to ISO 100 on
one end, and ISO 102400 on the other.
Interchangeable lenses
Enjoy the freedom of using interchangeable lenses
to achieve the look you want. The C200 / C200B
features an EF lens mount allowing you to use over
100 high-quality lenses from the Canon Cinema
Lens series and EF Lens series.
Multiple recording formats
The camera offers you a choice of the recording
format, depending on your project’s requirements.
The camera records 4K RAW data using the newly
developed Cinema RAW Light3 (hereafter, referred
to as RAW) format, directly to the CFast Card. The
RAW data that the camera records is a proprietary
format and is even suitable as HDR source material.
The second recording format is XF-AVC, which
boasts high compression while maintaining high
video quality. The third recording format is MP4, a
widely-used and versatile format.
3
Please note that the Cinema RAW Light data recorded
by this camera is different from the Cinema RAW data
recorded by other Cinema EOS cameras.
A variety of video and audio configuration options
(A 64)
RAW clips are recorded in 4096x2160 and,
depending on the frame rate, in 12- or 10-bit color
depth. Both MP4 and XF-AVC clips can be recorded
in 3840x2160 or 1920x1080 and in 8-bit color
depth. For details on available combinations of
frame size, frame rate and color depth, see the
video configuration settings tables (A 65). The
camera records audio in 4-channel linear PCM or
2-channel MPEG-2 AAC-LC (MP4 clips only). With
such versatile options, the camera is sure to offer
you a configuration that meets your project’s needs
and shooting style.
Recording media
The camera records RAW clips to a CFast 2.0 card
or MP4 clips and XF-AVC clips to an SD card.
Because the camera is equipped with two SD card
slots, you can use two SD cards to continue
recording on the other card when the one being
used becomes full (relay recording) or to record the
same clip simultaneously on both cards to have a
backup recording (double slot recording)4 (A 51).
While you record primary clips on a CFast card, you
can simultaneously record proxy clips—smaller files
(2048x1080) for offline editing—on an SD card
(A 113).
4
Relay recording and double slot recording are not
available for proxy clips.
Operability and Adaptability
Freely customizable compact design
The modular components, such as the LM-V1 LCD
Monitor5, LA-V1 LCD Attachment Unit5, HDU-2
Handle Unit5 and GR-V1 Camera Grip5, will let you
expand and adapt the camera’s configuration to
match your shooting conditions (A 36).
5
Supplied accessory for the C200; optional accessory for
the C200B.
Assignable buttons
The camera and modular units feature a number of
buttons (on the camera’s body, LCD monitor and
camera grip) to which you can assign a large
number of functions (A 125). Assign functions that
you use often to the assignable buttons you find
most convenient to personalize the camera to your
needs and preferences.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
The camera features Dual Pixel CMOS AF and offers
various autofocus functions (A 80): Continuous AF,
One-shot AF (to use autofocus only when you
choose) or AF-boosted MF (to let you focus
manually most of the way and let the camera finish
focusing automatically). Using AF-boosted MF the
camera does not perform unreliable focus
adjustments, resulting in a smoother focusing
operation than with continuous AF. The camera can
also focus automatically on people’s faces (Face AF,
A 87) and track moving subjects while keeping
them in focus.
4
You can control a number of AF-related settings
including AF frame size and position, and AF speed.
Even while focusing manually, the Dual Pixel Focus
Guide function (A 82) serves as a visual, intuitive
guide that you can use to check if the image is in
focus and the required adjustment, if it is not. This
can be very helpful to ensure you always get
amazingly sharp 4K video.
Remote operation
You can attach the optional RC-V100 Remote
Controller to the camera to control it from a
distance. The remote controller lets you control a
wide range of camera settings (A 123).
You can also operate the camera remotely via Wi-Fi
using the Browser Remote application (A 170).
Browser Remote lets you check the live view image
from the camera and adjust main camera settings.
Software for aiding RAW production workflow
Cinema RAW Development (A 159) can develop
the recorded 4K RAW data and export it as a
standard file type such as DPX or OpenEXR. You
can also import an EDL to recreate an edit created
on NLE software. This helps make a smooth
transition to the color grading process.
Assistance functions
The camera offers a number of assistance functions,
such as peaking and magnification (A 82),
onscreen markers (A 90), zebra patterns (A 91)
and B&W image (A 42), that you can display on
the LCD monitor or viewfinder6, or output through
the SDI terminal to display on an external monitor.
When using a logarithmic gamma curve, you can
also apply a LUT (A 155) to the displays or video
output for easier monitoring.
6
Versatile Artistic Expression
Special recording modes
The special recording modes (A 114) give you
more creative control over your recordings. You can
create a slow motion effect in your recordings,
record a frame at a set interval (ideal for nature shots
and other subjects with little movement) or record a
frame every time you press a button (ideal for stop
motion animation).
Custom picture settings
The improved custom picture menu gives you even
more options to control the “look” of your images.
Select one of the preset picture settings or set the
combination of gamma curve, color space and color
matrix that you wish to use. Then, you can adjust a
number of other image-related parameters in detail.
Other Functions
Save XF-AVC clips with ease
Use the XF Utility software (A 158) to save XF-AVC
clips to a computer. The software even allows you to
organize your clips.
k only.
Other improved features
• 5 levels of ND filter (A 71).
• In-camera correction for peripheral illumination
and chromatic aberration (A 39).
• Monaural built-in microphone for note taking.
• Three sets of customizable My Menu submenus
(A 34).
• Menu settings file that can be saved in the camera
or on an SD card to restore all the menu settings
or replicate them perfectly on another C200 /
C200B camera (A 137).
• Improved clip name format with more information
for easier identification and organization of clips
(A 61).
• Battery packs compatible with Intelligent System
for better remaining usage time information.

Preparations
23
Preparing the Power Supply
You can power the camera using a battery pack or directly using the AC adapter. If you connect the AC adapter
to the camera while a battery pack is attached, the camera will draw power from the power outlet.
Using a Battery Pack
You can power the camera using the supplied BP-A30 Battery Pack or the optional BP-A60 Battery Pack. Both
battery packs are compatible with Intelligent System so you can check the approximate remaining battery usage
time (in minutes) on the screen. For more accurate readings, when using a battery pack for the first time, charge
it fully and then use the camera until the battery pack is completely exhausted.
Charging the Battery Pack
Compact power adapter
Charge battery packs using the supplied CG-A20 Battery
Charger and CA-CP200B Compact Power Adapter. Before
charging, remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.
1 Connect the power cord to the CA-CP200B Compact Power
Adapter.
• For North America: Make sure you use the power cord for
the CA-CP200B. See the sidebar below for information on
differentiating the supplied power cords.
CHARGE indicator
2 Connect the DC plug of the CA-CP200B Compact Power
Adapter to the battery charger.
3 Plug the power cord of the CA-CP200B Compact Power
Adapter into a power outlet.
4 Attach the battery pack to the CG-A20 Battery Charger.
• Press lightly and slide the battery pack in the direction of
the arrow until it clicks.
• The CHARGE indicator starts flashing and also indicates
the battery pack’s approximate charge. The indicator will
stay on when charging has completed.
approx. 0% to 49%: Flashes once every 2 seconds
approx. 50% to 74%: Flashes twice every 2 seconds
approx. 75% to 99%: Flashes 3 times every 2 seconds
5 Remove the battery pack from the battery charger.
6 Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect the DC plug from the battery charger.
7 Disconnect the power cord from the compact power adapter.
Preparing the Power Supply
24
Differentiating the Supplied Power Cords (for North America)
The CA-A10 AC Adapter and CA-CP200B Compact Power Adapter each include a power cord. The plug for
the CA-A10’s power cord has a socket with a straight side, while the plug for the CA-CP200B’s power cord
has circular sockets.

IMPORTANT
• Do not connect to the battery charger any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this
camera.
• When using the battery charger or compact power adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may
cause a malfunction.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied battery charger or AC
adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and
ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF).
Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
• If there is a malfunction with the battery charger, compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator
will go out and charging will stop.
• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Battery Pack (A 218).
• For approximate charging times, refer to the Reference Tables (A 230). For approximate recording times with
a fully charged battery pack, refer to the Specifications (A 226).
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the
battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 202). Fully charging the battery pack and then
discharging it completely will give you a more accurate reading.
• USA and Canada only: The Lithium ion/polymer battery that powers the product is recyclable.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery.

Using a Power Outlet
You can also power the camera directly from a power outlet using the supplied CA-A10 AC Adapter. While the
camera is powered using a power outlet, you can replace the battery pack even when the camera is turned on.
North America only: The power cord for the CA-A10 AC Adapter is different from that for the CA-CP200B
Compact Power Adapter. If you do not use the correct power cord, it will not connect to the AC adapter.
Attaching the Ferrite Core
Before using the supplied CA-A10 AC Adapter, attach the supplied ferrite core to the power cord. This can help
reduce the likelihood of RF interference.
1 Attach the ferrite core to the power cord about 4 cm (1.6 in.) from the plug that
goes into the AC adapter.
2 Pass the cable through the center of the core and wrap it around the core
twice and close the ferrite core.
• For use in North America, you only need to wrap the cable around the core
once.

Preparing the Camera
In-Camera Lens Correction
Depending on the characteristics of the lens used, the corners of an image frame may be darker than the center
due to light fall-off (peripheral illumination drop), or color shift/color fringing may be visible along high-contrast
edges in the image (chromatic aberration). If the camera has correction data available for the EF lens used, it can
apply this correction data to compensate as necessary.
Operating modes:
1 Attach the lens you want to use.
2 Open the desired correction screen.
> [v & Camera Setup] > [Periph. Illum. Corr.] or [Chromatic Aberr. Corr.]
• If correction data is not available, the corresponding menu option will appear grayed out. Visit your local
Canon website and check if there is correction data available for the lens you are using. If so, download the
necessary update package and upgrade the camera’s firmware following the instructions supplied therein.
3 Select [On] and then press the joystick
• As long as
> [v & Camera Setup] > [Periph. Illum. Corr.] or [Chromatic Aberr. Corr.] is set to
[On], the camera will automatically apply the appropriate correction data.
Correction for EF-S Lenses
The peripheral illumination fall-off may be more pronounced with EF-S lenses than with EF lenses. To prevent
this, when you use an EF-S lens, you can change the image area that is used for producing the image.
Operating modes:
1 Open the [EF-S Lens] submenu.

NOTES
• About in-camera lens correction data: The camera contains a register of correction data for compatible lenses
that were available at the time the camera went on sale. Correction data for future lenses will be made
available as part of the regular updates released for the camera’s firmware. For more details, visit your local
Canon website.
• No peripheral illumination/chromatic aberration correction will be applied in the following cases:
- When the appropriate correction data is not available for the lens attached.
- When using non-Canon lenses. Even if the corresponding menu setting is available (not grayed out), setting
it to [Off] is recommended.
• When peripheral illumination correction is activated:
- Depending on the recording conditions, noise may appear in the periphery of the image as a result of the
correction.
- The level of correction will be lower for lenses that cannot provide distance information.
- The level of correction will be lower the higher the ISO speed/gain setting used.
- When using EF-S lenses, peripheral illumination fall-off may be more pronounced.

Preparing Recording Media
Preparing Recording Media
The camera records clips1 on CFast or SD cards2 and photos on SD cards. The camera features two SD card
slots. When you insert two SD cards in the camera, the camera can record 4K clips simultaneously on both
cards, or it can switch automatically to recording on the other SD card when an SD card becomes full.
Initialize recording media (A 50) when you use them with this camera for the first time.
1
2
Clips that are, in general, intended to be a deliverable are referred to as “primary clips” while clips that are intended to be edited
offline are referred to as “proxy clips”. Primary clips are recorded to the CFast card (for RAW clips) or SD card (for MP4 or XF-AVC
clips); proxy clips can be in MP4 or XF-AVC format and are recorded only to the SD card.
The SD card is used also to save custom picture files and menu settings files.

IMPORTANT
• CFast cards can become hot due to the high operating temperature inside the camera. Removing a CFast
card immediately after using it for recording may cause burns or cause you to drop the CFast card, resulting in
damage to the card.
• About CFast and SDXC cards: You can use CFast and SDXC cards with this camera but these types of cards are
initialized by the camera using the exFAT file system.
- When using exFAT-formatted cards with other devices (digital recorders, card readers, etc.), make sure that
the external device is compatible with exFAT. For more information on compatibility, contact the computer,
operating system or memory card manufacturer.
- If you use exFAT-formatted cards with a computer OS that is not exFAT-compatible, you may be prompted
to format the card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss.
• After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing clips (if the memory is fragmented), you may notice slower
writing speeds to the recording media and recording may even stop. In such case, save your recordings and
initialize the recording media with the camera. Be sure to initialize recording media especially before shooting
important scenes.

Setting the Clip File Name
The camera allows you to change several settings that determine the clip file name of recorded RAW and XF-AVC
clips. Personalize the clip file name according to your preferences or organizational conventions to create files that
are easier to identify and organize.
Operating modes:
The basic file name structure for RAW and XF-AVC clips is as follows. When recording a proxy clip with a RAW
clip, the proxy clip’s file name depends on the proxy clip’s format. For XF-AVC proxy clips, the file names of the
primary and proxy clips will be almost identical (components 1 to 6). For MP4 proxy clips, the file names will
differ, as the proxy clip will follow the naming convention for MP4 files (A 62).

Camera index: One character (A to Z) that
identifies the camera used.
Reel number: 3 characters (001 to 999) that
identify the recording media used. The number is
assigned automatically but you can set the initial
number.
After you insert a new card (just purchased or
initialized), the number advances by one when the
first recording is made.
Clip number: 4 characters (C001 to D999). The
clip number advances automatically with each
clip recorded (switching to D001 after C999), but
you can set the initial clip number and select the
clip numbering method.
Recording date (set automatically by the camera).

Random component: 2 characters (numbers 0 to
9 and capital letters A to Z) that change randomly
with each clip.
User defined field: 5 characters (numbers 0 to 9
and capital letters A to Z) for any other
identification purposes.
The camera will automatically add the suffix “_P”
to the file name of XF-AVC proxy clips.
Additionally, when an SD/SDHC card is used to
record XF-AVC proxy clips, a stream number (01
to 99) will be added before the “P”. The stream
number will advance every time the video (stream)
file within the clip is split and recording continues
on a separate stream file.

SD card already contains previous recordings, numbers will continue from the number following
that of the last MP4 clip or photo on the SD card.
MP4 clip/photo numbers will continue from the number following that of the last MP4 clip or
photo recorded with the camera. This setting is the most convenient for managing files on a
computer. We recommend using the [Continuous] setting.
Understanding folder names
• An example folder name is "101_1025". The first 3 digits indicate the folder number (from 100 to 999) and
the last 4 digits indicate the month and day when the folder was created. In the example, the folder
numbered 101 was created on October 25.
Understanding MP4 clip/photo numbers
• An example number is "101-0107". The first 3 digits indicate the folder number the recording is stored in
and the last 4 digits indicate the consecutive number assigned to the recording (from 0001 to 9999).
• The recording’s number also indicates the name and location of the file on the SD card. For example, an
MP4 clip/photo numbered 101-0107 that was recorded on October 25, is located in the “DCIM\101_1025”
folder as the file “MVI_0107.MP4” (for an MP4 clip) or “IMG_0107.JPG” (for a photo).
Recording Video
NOTES
• Each folder can contain up to 500 recordings. When that number is exceeded, a new folder is created
automatically.

•
•
•
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.
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
(A 71) 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 (A 69).
When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can change the shutter speed
mode with the remote controller’s SHUTTER SELECT button and the shutter speed value with the remote
controller’s SHUTTER Í/Î buttons.
* May not be available depending on the frame rate.

Custom white balance: You can use a gray card or white object with no pattern to establish the white balance
and set it to one of two custom white balance positions, ÅA or ÅB. When recording under fluorescent lights,
we recommend setting the custom white balance.
Preset white balance: Set the white balance to ¼ (daylight) or É (incandescent lamp). You can further adjust
the color temperature (K) value and the color compensation (CC) value.
Set color temperature: Allows you to set the color temperature between 2,000 K and 15,000 K, and further
adjust the color compensation (CC) value, which adjusts the color along the green/magenta gradation.
Auto white balance (AWB): The camera automatically adjusts the white balance to the optimal level.
Operating modes:

NOTES
• If the camera switched SD cards during a recording, the camera will play back the clip on the SD card most
recently recorded on.
Simultaneous Recording of Proxy Clips
Simultaneous Recording of Proxy Clips
In addition to a primary clip recorded in RAW on a CFast card, you can simultaneously record the same scene as
a proxy clip (in MP4 or XF-AVC format) on an SD card. Because proxy clips are relatively smaller files, they are
suitable for offline editing.
Operating modes:
1 Set the main recording format to RAW (A 64).
2 Open the proxy recording [Sub Rec Format] submenu.
> [Æ ! Recording/Media Setup] > [Sub Rec Format]
3 If necessary, select the audio format (A 99).
4 Select [MP4 (SD Card)] or [XF-AVC (SD Card)] and then press the joystick.
5 Press the REC button to start and stop recording.
• A proxy clip will be recorded on the SD card at the same time the primary clip is recorded on the CFast card.
Video and audio configuration of proxy clips
The recorded proxy clip has the following video configuration. The frame rate is the same as that used for the
primary clip. The audio configuration depends on the proxy clip’s audio recording format (A 99)
Resolution and color sampling: 2K (2048x1080), YCbCr 4:2:0, 8 bit
Bit rate: 35 Mbps (for MP4 proxy clips) or 45 Mbps (for XF-AVC proxy clips)
IMPORTANT
• Observe the following precautions while an access indicator is illuminated in red. Failure to do so may result in
permanent data loss.
- Do not open the card slot cover of the card being accessed and do not remove the card.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camera.
NOTES
• If the recording of the primary clip stops during simultaneous recording, recording of the proxy clip will stop as well.
• When an SDHC card is used to record proxy clips, the video (stream) file in a proxy clip will be split
approximately every 4 GB for clips with long recording times. Still, playback on the camera will be continuous.
• During HDR output (A 154), the BT.709 LUT (A 155) will be applied automatically to the proxy clip. The
dynamic range will be 800% maximum when [HDR/LUT] is set to [HDR: PQ]; it will be 425% maximum when
[HDR/LUT] is set to [HDR: HLG].
• If proxy clip recording is activated but no CFast card is inserted in the camera, the proxy clip will not be
recorded.

Special Recording Modes
Special Recording Modes
The camera features the following special recording modes.
114
Slow motion recording: This mode allows you to change the shooting frame rate to achieve a slow motion effect
during playback.
Pre-recording: The camera will start recording a few seconds before you press the REC button. This is especially
useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.
Frame recording: The camera will record one frame every time you press the REC button. This mode is suitable
for recording stop motion animation.
Interval recording: The camera will automatically record one frame at a pre-defined interval. This mode is suitable
for recording subjects with little movement, such as natural surroundings or plants.
Continuous recording: The camera will keep recording continuously on SD card B until you stop it so you do not
miss any shooting opportunities. This mode is available only for MP4 clips.
Slow Motion Recording Mode
The camera can record using a progressive frame rate (shooting frame rate) that is different from the playback
frame rate. Recording a clip at a higher frame rate than the [Frame Rate] setting will result in a slow motion effect
during playback (up to 1/5 of the original speed). The maximum recording length of a clip depends on the frame
rate but the playback time cannot exceed approximately 6 hours.
Sound is not recorded when slow motion recording is activated.

NOTES
• About the logarithmic gamma curves (Canon Log settings)
These gamma curves assume the need for post-production processing. They were designed to make the
most of the imaging sensor characteristics in order to obtain impressive levels of dynamic range.
- In
mode, you can apply a LUT to the LCD screen and viewfinder and to video output from the SDI
terminal to use gamma curve settings more suitable for viewing on a monitor screen.
- There are also other LUTs available that can be applied for processing in post-production. For the latest
information on available LUTs, please visit your local Canon website.
• About changing custom picture related settings using the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller
- If a protected custom picture file is selected on the camera, custom picture related settings cannot be
changed using the remote controller.
- Adjusting custom picture related settings using the remote controller will change the settings registered
under the currently selected custom picture file. If you want to keep an important custom picture file, copy it
in advance to an SD card or select in advance a custom picture file you do not mind changing.

Connection to a Wi-Fi network via an external access point (wireless router, etc.)
Direct connection to one Wi-Fi-enabled device where the camera serves as the Wi-Fi access point.
Before using the network functions
• The instructions in this chapter assume you already have a correctly configured and working network, network
device(s) and/or Wi-Fi access point. If necessary, refer to the documentation provided with the network
devices you plan to use.
• Configuring the network settings requires adequate knowledge about configuring and using wired (Ethernet)
and/or wireless (Wi-Fi) networks. Canon cannot provide support regarding network configurations.
IMPORTANT
• Data transmitted over networks is not encrypted.
• Canon shall not be liable for any loss of data or damage resulting from incorrect network configuration or
settings. Additionally, Canon shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of network functions.
• Using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your data to monitoring by unauthorized third parties. Also,
the camera is shipped with some default passwords. Changing the initial settings is recommended.
NOTES
• About the Wi-Fi antenna: When using the camera’s Wi-Fi functions,

The camera is Wi-Fi certified and can connect to a Wi-Fi network using an external access point
(wireless router) or can itself serve as a Wi-Fi access point. The camera can connect to wireless
routers (access points) and network devices compliant with the 802.11a/b/g/n protocol and that
are Wi-Fi certified (bear the logo shown on the right).
Note that using an unprotected Wi-Fi network can expose your data to monitoring by unauthorized third parties.
Be aware of the risks involved.
You can connect the camera to the network in Infrastructure mode, using an access point (wireless router etc.),
or in Camera Access Point mode, directly to a network device. The type of connection you can use, depends on
the network function you wish to use (A 161).
For an Infrastructure connection, the camera offers 4 ways to configure an access point and the method you use
will depend on the type and specifications of the access point and network you plan to use.
Camera Access Point: When shooting in a location where there are no access points available, the camera can
serve as a wireless access point*. Wi-Fi enabled devices will be able to connect to the camera directly.
* Limited only to the connection between the camera and supported Wi-Fi enabled devices. The functionality is not the same as
that of commercially available access points.
Infrastructure connection:
WPS (button): If your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), setup will be
easy and require minimal configuring and no passwords. To check if your wireless router
has a WPS button and for details about how to activate the Wi-Fi protected setup, refer to
the instruction manual of your wireless router.
WPS (PIN code): Even if your wireless router does not have a dedicated WPS button, it may support WPS using
a PIN code instead. For setup using a PIN code, you will need to know in advance how to activate the wireless
router’s WPS function. For details refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router.
Searching for Access Points: If your access point does not support the WPS function or you cannot activate it,
you can have the camera search for access points in the area.
Manual Setup: If the access point you want to use has stealth mode activated and it cannot be automatically
detected by the camera, you can enter all the necessary settings manually. This requires more advanced
knowledge of Wi-Fi and network settings.
IMPORTANT
• Depending on the country/region of use, some restrictions on outdoor use or camera access point
connections may apply when operating the IEEE802.11a/n wireless standard in the 5 GHz band. For details
see REGIONS OF USE in the supplied Basic Guide.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If you have a problem with your camera, refer to this section. Consult your dealer or a Canon Service Center if
the problem persists.
206
Power source
The camera will not turn on or it turns off by itself.
- The battery pack is exhausted. Replace or charge the battery pack.
- Remove the battery pack and reattach it correctly.
Shortly after turning it on, the camera turns off on its own.
- You are using a battery pack that is not compatible for use with this camera. Use a recommended battery pack
(A 222).
Cannot charge the battery pack.
- The temperature of the battery pack is outside the charging range. If the battery pack’s temperature is below 0 °C
(32 °F), warm it before charging it; if it is above 40 °C (104 °F), let the battery pack cool down before charging it.
- Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F and 104 °F).
- The battery pack is faulty. Replace the battery pack.
The battery pack is exhausted extremely quickly even at normal temperatures.
- Check the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 202) to check if the battery pack has reached the end of its battery
life. If so, buy a new battery pack.
Recording
The camera’s controls are not responsive/disabled.
- The camera grip’s plug may not be correctly connected to the camera. When attaching the camera grip to the camera,
make sure the camera grip’s plug is firmly inserted all the way into the connection terminal on the camera (A 43). If
you changed the angle of the camera grip, make sure you did not partially disconnect the plug by mistake.
- When the Q switch is set to C, all buttons (or all buttons with the exception of some REC buttons) are locked
and cannot be operated. Set the Q switch to CAMERA. You can change which controls are locked with the
> [$ System Setup] > [Key Lock] setting (A 193).
Pressing the REC button will not start recording.
- The recording media is full or it already contains the maximum number of clips (999 clips). Delete some clips (A 147)
or save your clips (A 158) and initialize the recording media (A 50) to free some space. Alternatively, replace the
recording media.
> [$ System Setup] >
- The REC button that was used may be disabled. Change the current settings in the
[Camera REC Button] or [Camera Grip REC Button] setting to enable the use of the desired REC buttons.
- You may not be able to start or stop recording while controls on the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller are being
operated. Stop using the remote controller and then press the REC button.
The point where the REC button was pressed does not match the beginning/end of the recording.
- There is a slight interval between pressing the REC button and the actual start/end of recording. This is not a
malfunction.
The camera will not focus.
- The camera may not be able to focus on certain subjects using autofocus. Focus manually (A 81).
- When the AF mode is set to AF-boosted MF, start focusing manually until the AF frame changes to white (automatic
adjustment range).
- k The viewfinder is not adjusted. Use the dioptric adjustment lever to make the proper adjustment (A 40).
- The lens is dirty. Clean the lens with a soft lens-cleaning cloth.
When a subject flits across in front of the lens, the image appears slightly bent.
- This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors. When a subject crosses very quickly in front of the camera, the
image may seem slightly warped. This is not a malfunction.
Bright red, green or blue dots appear on the screen.
- Try adjusting the black balance (A 53). The camera’s CMOS sensor is a delicate piece of precision engineering. Direct
exposure of the sensor to ion rays or other types of cosmic radiation may affect it and this may rarely appear as bright colored
dots on the screen. This is the nature of CMOS image sensors and does not represent a malfunction.
- The effects of the damage may be more noticeable when the camera is used in places subject to high temperatures,
when a high ISO speed or gain level is used and when slow shutter speeds are used.
Troubleshooting
Abnormal images appear on the screen and the camera cannot record properly.
- While recording using an almost empty battery pack together with the AC adapter, the AC adapter was inadvertently
disconnected or the power supply was suddenly interrupted. Reconnect the AC adapter and turn the camera off and
then on again or replace the battery pack with a fully charged one.
Changing between recording (ÜREC) and record standby (STBY) takes longer than usual.
- When the recording media contains a large number of clips, some operations may take longer than usual. Save your
clips (A 158) and initialize the recording media (A 50). Alternatively, replace the recording media.
The camera cannot record to a recording media properly.
- This may occur as recordings are made and deleted over time. Save your clips (A 158) and initialize the recording media
(A 50).
After using the camera for a long time, it becomes hot.
- The camera may become hot after using it continuously for long periods of time; this is not a malfunction. If the
camera becomes unusually hot or it becomes hot after using it only for a short while, it may indicate a problem with
the camera. Consult a Canon Service Center.
Playback
Cannot delete a clip.
- The LOCK switch on the SD card is set to prevent accidental erasure. Change the position of the LOCK switch.
Deleting clips takes longer than usual.
- When the recording media contains a large number of clips, some operations may take longer than usual. Save your
clips (A 158) and initialize the recording media (A 50).
Cannot delete a photo.
- The LOCK switch on the SD card is set to prevent accidental erasure. Change the position of the LOCK switch.

Picture and Sound
The screen of the monitoring device connected to the VIDEO terminal does not turn on.
- Make sure the unit cable connecting the camera’s VIDEO terminal and the monitoring device’s VIDEO terminal is
correctly connected on both sides.
The peaking/magnification/zebra pattern/waveform monitor/B&W image does not appear on the screen.
- Check that display of the desired assistance function is enabled on the screen used with the corresponding output
settings.
HDR video output to external monitors appears brighter now than before updating the firmware.
- With the current firmware version, the camera follows the ITU-R BT.2408 report’s recommendations regarding
reference brightness levels for HDR output. The recordings themselves have not been changed.
Screen displays turn on and off repeatedly.
- The battery pack is exhausted. Replace or charge the battery pack.
- Remove the battery pack and reattach it correctly.
Abnormal characters appear on the screen and the camera does not operate properly.
- Disconnect the power source and reconnect it after a short time. If the problem still persists, use the
>
[! System Setup] > [Reset] > [All Settings] function. This resets all the camera’s settings to default values, except
for the hour meter.
Video noise appears on screen.
- Keep a distance between the camera and devices that emit strong electromagnetic fields such as near powerful
magnets and motors, MRI machines or high-voltage power lines.
Horizontal bands appear on the screen.
- This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors when recording under some types of fluorescent, mercury or
sodium lamps. This is not a malfunction. You may be able to reduce the symptoms 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.
Audio cannot be recorded.
- The audio input selection switch of the INPUT terminal is in the AES/EBU position but an analog audio source is
connected, or it is set to the ANALOG position and a digital audio source is connected. Set the audio related switches
correctly according to the audio source you wish to use (A 99).
- When using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminals, make sure you are using an XLR connector. When using the MIC terminal,
make sure you are using a condenser microphone with its own power supply and a ∅ 3.5 mm stereo mini plug.
- The external microphone connected to the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminal requires phantom power. Set the corresponding
INPUT 1/INPUT 2 audio input selection switch to MIC+48V (A 99).
Audio is recorded at an extremely low level.
- When using the INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminals or MIC terminal: The audio level switch for CH1 or CH2 is set to M, and
the recording level is set too low. Check the audio level meter on the screen and adjust the audio level correctly
(A 101).
- The microphone attenuator is on. Turn off the microphone attenuator (A 103).
Troubleshooting
Sound is distorted or is recorded at lower levels.
- When recording near loud sounds (such as fireworks, shows or concerts), sound may become distorted or it may not
be recorded at the actual levels. Activate the microphone attenuator (A 103), or adjust the audio recording level
manually.
209

Precautions Regarding Wi-Fi Networks
When using a Wi-Fi network, try the following corrective actions if the transmission rate drops, the connection is
lost, or other problems occur.
Positioning a network device (access point, mobile device, etc.)
- When using a Wi-Fi network indoors, place the network device in the same room as the camera.
- Place the network device in an open, unobstructed location, where people or objects do not come between it and the
camera.
- Place the network device as close as possible to the camera. Change the height or facing of the network device, as
necessary.
Nearby electronic devices
- If the transmission rate over a Wi-Fi network drops because of interference from the following electronic devices,
switching to the 5 GHz band or to a different channel may solve the problem.
- Wi-Fi networks using the IEEE 802.11b/g/n protocol operate in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the transmission
rate may drop if there are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices operating on
the same frequency band.
- If another access point operating on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby, the transmission rate
may drop.
Using multiple cameras/wireless transmitters/access points
- Check that there are no IP address conflicts among the devices connected to the same network.
- If multiple C200 / C200B cameras are connected to a single access point, connection speeds may be reduced.
- To reduce radio wave interference when there are multiple access points using IEEE 802.11b/g or IEEE 802.11n (in the
2.4 GHz band), leave a gap of four channels between each wireless access point. For example, use channels 1, 6, and
11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13. If you can use IEEE 802.11a/n (in the 5 GHz band), switch to IEEE
802.11a/n and specify a different channel.

Camera Body
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera’s body. Never use chemically treated cloths or volatile solvents such
as paint thinner.
Lens
• Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower brush.
• Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never use tissue paper.
LCD Screen
• Clean the LCD screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth and commercially available cleaning fluid for
eyeglasses.
• Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temperature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a
soft dry cloth.
Condensation
Moving the camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form
on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camera if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage the
camera.
Condensation may form in the following cases:
• When the camera is moved quickly from cold to warm places
• When the camera is left in a humid room
• When a cold room is heated rapidly
To avoid condensation
• Do not expose the camera to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
• Remove the recording media and battery pack. Then, place the camera in an airtight plastic bag and let it
adjust gradually to temperature changes before removing it from the bag.
When condensation is detected
The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the location and weather
conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camera.
Using the Camera Abroad

option, defective parts will be exchanged for new parts or comparable rebuilt parts for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase. Labor: For a
period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase, labor will be provided free of charge by Canon USA’s factory service centers or designated service
facilities located in the United States. When returning Products under this warranty, you must pre-pay the shipping charges, and you must enclose a copy of
the Bill of Sale or other proof of purchase with a complete explanation of the problem. During the ONE-YEAR warranty period, repairs will be made and the
Products will be return-shipped to you free of charge. For repairs after the warranty period is over, you will be given an estimate of the cost of repair and an
