Thank you so much for this info! I'm gonna use the c70 tomorrow for a shoot and didn't have time to do any testruns, but at least now I know my way around the camera. Thanks, that was super helpful!

[Sutterjack]

Great checklist and explanation of your reasons - thanks- just got a C70 and working on setting it up so this is a big help

[trufocusproductions]

Best camera review of the C70 I have seen. Thanks for sharing all the background info as to why you choose which settings. Very helpful for new users of the C70 like myself. I have a BTS video using this camera for anyone interested.

great video...the only video i foudn that is focused on first time C70 users. thanks!

[SuperNova-Steve]

Thanks good video
One thing to note, as far as I can tell is when you use MP4 vs XF-AVC is you only have 2 audio channels. When I shoot doco and am doing my own sound I use Ch1 for shotgun mic and 3&4 for the radio mic so usually use XF…
I split the channels and have a high and low setting incase of peaks and lows.

When using the MP4 setting I cant use all the options in the audio input selection, have you changed to xavc for Those occasions?

[Angelo_Paduraru]

Ok, I copy all the settings for my new c70 😍
Thanks!

[jdavevisuals]

You changed the name of the channel 😱👀

[BildfabrikTV]

Thanks for sharing your settings, Damien. I use my C70 nearly identically - but there were two or three hints I'll try out during the next shootings.

I just put an Atomos ninja V on top of one of my C70-s and realized that the HDMI out doesent put the lut on when playing back in C-log 2 :D great!! so to show the client a clip i still need to take off the V-mount.. flip out the screen and put the V-mount back again :P
Canon have not made this camera easy to use with a monitor.

Pretty close to what I have for my settings, although I rarely use peaking in camera, since my ext monitor has better focus assist features. I will say, I have found, with canon specifically, if you are shooting in any of the CLOG profiles, you will get alot less noise/grain when you set your ISO to full stops rather than the 1/3 increments. For example, 1600 is cleaner than 1000 and 1250. And it is the same every stop you go up. Just something to keep in mind! Great info in this video!

What would you recommend in the case where an external monitor is desired but does not offer any of the "modern" color adjustments other than RGB and brightness (or any of the other fancy features either, to be honest)? How would you recommend color matching that to the LCD?

[DuffTV]

If Sony has Doug Jensen well we have Monkey Pixels. Thanks so much Damien you've done a great job here with your insights. Using MPEG4 422 is something I will sus out.

[vizualsbynick]

Hey Damien, thanks so much for this quick explainer. Very helpful. I was just wondering, do you record externally or internally and if internally which SD cards are you using? Thanks so much.

[ruffdraft]

Damian on the Canon C70 is there a Neutral picture profile alongside the C Log profiles

[Neo-qmdn]

2.also i recently used it on gimbal i have got autofocus in back not at person tracking, what would be best autofocus for tracking on gimbal ?

3. Is there way to monitor clog 2 on c70 screen without using external monitor with latest update ?
really appreciated

[MrMriddles]

Im having issues finding 24fps and shooting at 1/48 shutter on my c70? Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

[michaelbrianrawlinsactor]

Love your work and channel!! Quick question is is okay to dual SD card 4 Raw LT?

[JonathanPalfrey]

I’ve been playing around with the HEVC MP4 and it does seem to playback smoother plus smaller files which is great. Even the 420 seems pretty good for most situations.

I just wish you could use custom file names

[bobsteinfinkel]

thanks for doing this. very helpful video
