Features

The Canon EOS-1D C can use more than sixty interchangeable Canon lenses, and features the Canon Log Gamma, by which an estimated preview of footage after grading helps the videographer with focusing and determining exposure whilst retaining maximum latitude in captured image data. An ISO setting range from 50 to 204,800 can be selected automatically or adjusted manually. The camera also allows the user to view the LCD screen while the HDMI port is in use on an external device and includes a headphone jack. The 1D C shares the same battery that is used in the EOS-1D X, the LP-E4N. Like all Canon DSLR full frame cameras, the 1D does not feature a built-in flash. EOS Utility and Picture Style Editor software is included in the purchase of the product which enables the user to adjust several settings from a computer. Like the

, the camera features 61 autofocus points, which are assisted by a 100,000-pixel metering sensor. The camera's viewfinder has an estimated magnification of .76x and 100% field of view. Remote control from computer is possible using the built-in USB or Ethernet connector. The camera can be operated remotely with a Canon WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter, allowing an external web enabled device to control the camera. The WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter unit also enables Bluetooth v2.1 +EDR, to embed GPS location data into files.

Accessories

According to Canon's website, the EOS 1D C model comes equipped with: * EOS-1D C Body * Eyecup E.g. * LP-E4N Battery Pack * LC-E4N Battery Charger * Cable Protector and Clamp * Stereo AV Cable (AVC-DC400ST) * USB Interface Cable (model IFC-200U) * Wide Camera Strap L7

Known defects

Canon issued a product advisory indicating that in some units, due to insufficient lubrication within the camera's driving mechanism, "the autofocus searches but does not lock in on the subject" and "the image shown in the viewfinder is "blurry" or "not steady". Any bodies sold with the issue have been recalled by Canon.

Other

On February 1, 2015, Canon reduced the price of the EOS-1D C model by $4,000 from the then current price of $11,999 to $7,999. On December 13, 2016, Canon reduced the price once again by another $3,000 from the then current price of $7,999 to $4,999.
