Product Description
Creators seeking to achieve a rich cinematic look with versatile imaging tools can now consider Canon's RF-mount EOS C400 6K Full-Frame Digital Cinema Camera. Built around a new 6K full-frame, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, the C400 offers three base ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800, accommodating a wide range of light levels. This digital cinema camera combines high-resolution imagery with cine-style and broadcast features such as an optional Cooke/i PL mount, return video, and both Super35 and Super16 modes. It also includes solo shooter-friendly functions like Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II, internal ND filters, and a compact, lightweight design.
6K Full-Frame Sensor
At the core of the C400 is Canon's new 6K CMOS sensor, which delivers exceptionally low noise, enhanced sensitivity efficiency, and superior 4K imagery through 6K oversampling. This is achieved with the advanced light capture technology of the back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor.
Triple-Base ISOs
The 6K CMOS sensor provides three base ISO options: 800, 3200, and 12,800. These settings allow you to capture the brilliance of environments like Times Square or sunlit landscapes, as well as the subtleties of available light scenes such as interior locations or nighttime cityscapes.
Multiple Recording Formats
- Different projects demand specific recording formats, and the C400 has you covered with up to 6K60 Cinema RAW and HQ, ST, and LT Cinema RAW Light 12-bit modes. Oversampled 4K with amazing detail is available in 10-bit 4:2:2 with frame rates up to 120p, all without cropping the image on the sensor. Slow- and fast-motion can be captured at rates up to UHD 4K120 and 2K180.
- Canon has made your editing process easier with two new codecs: XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S, both featuring an easier naming system and folder structure and metadata preservation, all within the established MP4 format.
Dual Media Slots
Fans of proxy recordings will appreciate the CFexpress Type-B and SD card slots on the C400, which enable sub-recording and proxy capture using the SD card slot while simultaneously recording up to raw using a CFexpress card.
Optional PL-Mount Adapter
Widen your lens choices to include a range of beautiful pro cinema "glass" using the separately available PL-RF adapter for the C400. This adapter includes side lock plates for a secure fit and transfers Cooke/i metadata for VF/X and other post-production uses.
Mechanical ND Filters
Whether you're shooting a cine-style feature or grabbing run-and-gun footage for a documentary or event coverage, you'll appreciate the ability to quickly dial in up to 10 stops of ND filtration with the C400. This near-instant exposure adjustment enables you to maintain your chosen depth of field since it negates the need to stop down on your lens.
Ethernet/Wi-Fi Control and IP Streaming
Use the C400's Ethernet port and Canon's IP-based XC protocol to add RC-IP1000, RC-IP100, or third-party remote control shading to your broadcast-style shoot. The Canon RCCA (Remote Control Camera Application) is compatible with the C400, enabling control of camera settings and multicamera control. The C400 also offers IP streaming using the SRT protocol.
Compact, Lightweight Body
Canon's RF lens mount features a short flange back, reducing its lens mount area and overall size, which makes it the ideal camera for gimbal, handheld, or drone capture.
LCD, Handle, and Grip
Ergonomic improvements featured by the C400 include a new touchscreen LCD, grip, and battery. The LCD mount has both angle and length adjustments for optimal positioning of the LCD whether you're shooting handheld, shoulder-mounted, or on a tripod. The ergonomic, articulated handgrip features a multifunction shoe, three assignable buttons, and captive screws that won't get lost when you're mounting or detaching the grip.
Improved Autofocus Function
For those moments or whole shoots where you're not assisted by a focus puller, the C400 offers Canon's dual-pixel autofocus function, which has been improved by the wider area of the back-illuminated CMOS sensor, which is available for autofocus. Intelligent tracking lets you follow the eyes, face, head, and body areas of a subject with increased accuracy. For nature documentary shooters, the C400 provides the ability to detect the eyes, face, or body of select animals without being affected by their size or facial orientation.
Production and Broadcast Features
- The versatile C400 incorporates a variety of interfaces that make it suitable for both film- and broadcast-style productions. These ports include 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI video outputs, dual mini-XLR audio inputs, timecode, genlock, and return video DIN connectors, and a 12-pin lens port.
- An automatic clear-scan mode for the shutter detects your light source's frequency, helping to reduce or eliminate the flickering sometimes found in LED walls.

Ordered a lens on Friday. Item was delivered to me on Monday. Arrived in excellent condition in perfect working order. Not only did I pay a very reasonable price, but the shipping was free ! I will definitely do business with Pixel Connection again should the need arise !
I cannot say enough good things about Pixel Connection. I've bought multiple camera bodies - new and used - from them, along with several lenses, and they simply cannot be beat. Super helpful on the phone, good prices, and willing to work with customers to make the right solution happen. Pixel Connection is where I look first when buying camera equipment.
I am a cosmetic dentist so my photography is very important to me. I needed my camera set up for ease of use and custom settings. Jesse and Sam are so knowledgeable. Those two men helped me quickly and the Pixel store is open until 7 pm so I was able to get this done before my next working day! I also noticed Pixel has everything one needs for cameras, video and audio, social media, drones and even film! Check this store out for yourself for quality service and products!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My latest experience with ThePixelConnection was absolutely phenomenal. Matt and Ari went above and beyond to ensure I got the camera I needed, even when it seemed impossible.
The item I needed was out of stock everywhere else, but they didn’t stop there—they took the extra step to contact the manufacturer directly and managed to secure a new unit straight from the factory. Thanks to their incredible effort, I received my camera just in time for an important event.
What truly sets ThePixelConnection apart is the personal touch they bring to every interaction. Unlike my experiences with B&H—which, while efficient and resourceful, often feel very clinical and transactional—ThePixelConnection makes you feel like a genuinely valued customer.
I’ve worked with B&H for years and spent a small fortune with them, but if ThePixelConnection has what I need, they’re always my first choice. Their team is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to ensuring you get exactly what you’re looking for.
Matt, in particular, is a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in photography and their product lineup. His guidance and dedication made the entire process effortless and stress-free.
If you’re looking for exceptional service from a team that truly values its customers, look no further than ThePixelConnection. They’ve earned my loyalty, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!
