EOS C300 Best Practices Guide
Setting up Time Code:
The EOS C300 uses SMPTE standard Time code.
• Preset options include Rec Run, and Free Run.
• The Regen option reads any recorded time code on the selected memory card, and will con-
tinue from the last recorded time code. (Time Code only runs while recording when Regen
is active, so consecutively recorded clips will have continuous time code.)

Built- in ND Filters:
The EOS C300 has three available, built-in ND lters. The camera can be operated with a clear
lter in place, or with any one of the following in the optical path (it’s not possible to combine or
“stack” the in-camera glass ND lters):
• ND 1 (2-stop light reduction / 4x; ND 0.6)
• ND 2 (4-stop light reduction / 16x; ND 1.2)
• ND 3 (6-stop light reduction / 64x; ND 1.8)
Built-in ND lters are activated via the + and
-
buttons on the left side of the camera body.
(page 63 of the instruction manual)
Manually Operating the ND filters in case of a malfunction:
On the right side of the camera, near the base, is a small cover held in place by a screw. This can
be removed, and a small Phillips head screwdriver inserted and rotated to manually move the ND
lter mechanism to move a lter if the built-in motor mechanism ever fails on location.
(page 172 of the instruction manual)

• Pre-set — Daylight (5400 K) or Tungsten (3200 K)
