EOS C700 Firmware Update version 1.0.2.1 00

16th May 2017

Thank you for using Canon products.

Changes:

This firmware update (Version 1.0.2.1 00) incorporates the following enhancements.

1. Adds a [-1]*1 option to the [Noise Reduction] setting under Custom Picture Settings to completely cancel the effects of noise reduction.

2. Improves menu operations so that when changing the menu settings under specific conditions*2, the settings related to [Sub Rec (XF-AVC)] or [Double / Relay Rec] will be retained.

*1 On this product, even if the [Noise Reduction] setting is set to [Off], a small amount of noise reduction is still applied. If the [-1] setting is selected, no noise reduction is applied, so the amount of noise will increase compared to when the [Off] setting is selected. Furthermore, when displaying the metadata of clips captured with the [-1] setting using Canon XF Utility Ver. 3.2, the [Noise Reduction] setting will be displayed as blank.

*2 The menu operations are improved under the following conditions listed below: - When resuming normal recording from slow & fast motion recording, the setting selected for the sub recording [Recording Media] or [Double Slot Rec] submenu before slow & fast motion recording will be restored. - When changing the setting selected for the sub recording [Recording Media] submenu, the setting for the [Resolution/Sampling] submenu will not change. - With the [Relay Recording] and [Double Slot Recording] settings both set to [On], if the [Double Slot Recording] setting is later set to [Off], the [Relay Recording] setting will still be [On].

Caution:

- You cannot perform the firmware update using CFast 2.0 cards. Please use a commercially available SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card that is 128MB or more for the firmware update. - Firmware Version 1.0.2.1.00 is for updating Cinema EOS C700 cameras running firmware version 1.0.0.1.00 – 1.0.1.1.00. If your camera’s firmware is already version 1.0.2.1.00, it is not necessary to update the firmware. Once the camera is updated to the latest version, it cannot be restored to a previous version.

- For further information, please refer to the latest version of the unit’s Instruction Manual that is released with the firmware update.

- For customers who are using the optional OU-700 Remote Operation Unit, the firmware of the camera and the OU-700 Remote Operation Unit have to be the same. After updating the camera firmware, connect the camera with the OU-700 to update the firmware of the OU-700 from the camera’s system settings.

Preparations for a firmware update:

After the Firmware update has been performed, the camera’s menu settings and Custom Picture settings will be reset. It is recommended that users save their menu and Custom Picture settings as settings data to an SD card, separate from the one that will be used to carry out the update, before starting update operations. This saved data can be loaded into the camera and the settings can be changed after the update has been completed.

For further information on this, please refer to the section in the camera’s user manual titled Saving and Loading Camera Settings. The downloaded firmware folder contains the firmware (File Name: VMA2.FIM, File Size: 113,712,428 bytes) and a procedure manual for updating the firmware (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Simplified Chinese). Please check the firmware update procedure manual carefully before starting update operations.

The following items are required to perform this firmware update:

1. A Cinema EOS C700 camera body

2. A computer (OS: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 SP1 or Mac OS 10.7 - 10.12).

3. A 128 MB or higher-capacity SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card (both commercially available)

4. An SD card reader-writer (commercially available) or an SD card slot on the computer.

5. Fully charged V-mount battery (commercially available), 14.8 V DC (acceptable range: 12 V to 20 V DC)
