As much as possible, attach and remove the lens quickly and in a clean environment free of dust. Refer also to the instruction manual of the lens used.

IMPORTANT

• When attaching/removing a lens, avoid direct sunlight or strong light sources. Also, be careful not to drop the camera or lens. • Power off the camera when attaching/removing a lens.
• The camera is not equipped with a UV-IR cut filter. Use a commercially available UV-IR cut filter when color shooting in visible light. For more details on compatible UV-IR cut filters, visit your local Canon website.

i NOTES

• After removing a lens or when a lens is not attached to the camera:

• Do not touch the lens's surfaces, the lens mount, or any components inside the lens mount area.
• Place the body cap on the lens mount and the dust caps back on the lens. Clean any dust or dirt from the body cap and dust caps before using them.

Attaching a Lens (EF Lens)

For the lens for which operation has been verified, visit your local Canon website.

1. Power off the camera.
2. Remove the body cap from the EF mount and the dust cap from the lens.
3. Align the index (①) on the camera with the mount index (red) on the lens.
4. Lock the lens by turning the lock ring (②) counterclockwise while holding the lens.

- To remove the lens, power off the camera and turn the lock ring clockwise while holding the lens.

IMPORTANT

- When removing an EF lens equipped with Image Stabilizer, set the lens's Image Stabilizer switch to OFF.

i NOTES

- About using a compatible EF Cinema lens: This camera's sensor is larger than the sensor size for which these lenses are designed (Super 35mm). When using these lenses with the camera, you may notice peripheral illumination fall-off or vignetting. To prevent this, you can use the [Camera Setup] > [EF-S Lens] setting to change the sensor area that is used for producing the image. This setting digitally enlarges the image by a factor of approx. 1.55 so the image quality will deteriorate.

• Depending on the lens's characteristics, the corners of the picture may seem darker due to light falloff or illumination drop. You can use the peripheral illumination correction setting to have the camera compensate if it has the correction data available for the lens (43).
• If you are using a compatible lens*, you can use the zoom-iris correction setting to have the camera adjust the aperture while zooming (42).

• You can use the MENU > [Camera Setup] > [AE Response] setting to change how quickly the aperture changes during automatic exposure (camera modes other than [Manual], or while using push auto iris). • You cannot use push auto iris while using the FOCUS dial on the RC-V100.

Adjusting the Exposure

Exposure Compensation - AE Shift

You can compensate the exposure obtained during automatic exposure (camera modes other than [Manual], or while using push auto iris with the camera mode set to [Manual]), in order to darken or lighten the image. You can select a level from -2.0 EV to 2.0 EV (in 0.25-EV increments).

1. Select MENU > [Camera Setup] > [AE Shift] > Desired value.

i NOTES

• If you set an assignable button on the RC-V100 to [AE Shift +] or [AE Shift -], you can press the button to adjust the AE shift level. • You cannot use push auto iris and adjust the AE shift level at the same time.

Light Metering Mode

Select the light metering mode to match the shooting conditions. Using the appropriate setting will produce a suitable exposure level during automatic exposure (camera modes other than [Manual], or while using push auto iris).

[Backlight]: Suitable when shooting backlit scenes.

[Standard]: Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving more weight to the subject in the center.

[Spotlight]: Use this option when shooting a scene in which only a certain part of the picture is lit, for example, when the subject is lit by a spotlight.

1. Select MENU > [Camera Setup] > [Light Metering] > Desired option.

i NOTES

- When the camera mode is set to [Manual], changing the light metering mode will not affect the exposure. Adjust the exposure manually to a suitable level.

Gain

Manual Adjustment

You can select a value in the following range: 0.0 to 75.0 dB (in 3.0-dB increments).

1. Set the camera mode to [Manual].
2. Adjust the gain using direct setting mode.
3. Press the left/right buttons on the RC-V100 to highlight the current gain value, and the up/down buttons to select the desired value.
4. Press the ISO/GAIN up button on the RC-V100 to increase the gain value, and the ISO/GAIN down button to reduce it.

IMPORTANT

- When the gain setting is high, image deterioration may occur due to light from a strong light source entering the image sensor.

NOTES

• When high gain levels are set, the picture may flicker slightly.
• When high gain levels are set, bright red, green or blue dots may appear on the screen. In such case, use a faster shutter speed or select a lower gain value.

Auto Gain Control (AGC) Limit

When the camera mode is set to a mode other than [Manual], you can set an automatic gain control (AGC) limit to prevent the camera from using gain values above the preset limit, controlling the appearance of noise. You can select [Off (75dB)] for no limit (maximum gain as given in the parentheses), or a maximum gain level from 24dB to 72dB, in 3-dB increments.

1. Select MENU > [Camera Setup] > [AGC Limit] > Desired option.

Shutter Speed

Set the shutter speed based on shooting conditions. For example, you may want to set slower shutter speeds for darker environments. You can choose from a total of 67 shutter speed settings, ranging from 9.51 to 1/24000 seconds.

1. Set the camera mode to [Manual], [Tv] or [AGC].
2. Use direct setting mode to select the desired shutter speed.

4. Press the SHUTTER up button on the RC-V100 to increase the shutter speed, and the SHUTTER down button to reduce it.

NOTES

• About reducing flicker due to shooting under artificial light sources:

• When shooting under artificial light sources such as fluorescent, mercury or halogen lamps, the image may flicker depending on the shutter speed. In such case, you can use the MENU > [Camera Setup] > [Flicker Reduction] > [Automatic] setting to have the camera automatically detect and correct flicker. Depending on the shooting conditions, the camera may not be able to reduce the flicker.
• Alternatively, you may be able to avoid flicker by setting the shutter speed to a value matching the frequency of the local electrical system: 1/50* or 1/100 for 50 Hz systems, 1/60 or 1/120 for 60 Hz systems.

* May not be available depending on the frame rate.

• When the camera mode is set to [Tv], the available shutter speeds range from 1/4 to 1/24000 seconds (or from 1/3.36 to 1/24000 when the frame rate is 23.98P) when the system frequency is [59.94Hz], and from 1/3.36 to 1/24000 seconds when the system frequency is [50.00Hz].
• When the shutter speed is 1 second or more, changing the following settings may take longer than usual (an approximate maximum of 30 seconds): color bars, frame rate, system frequency. In the same way, it may take longer for the camera to output image data after being powered on.
• Shutter speeds slower than 1 second are represented with the (") symbol. For example, [9"51] for 9.51 seconds, and [8"] for 8 seconds.

White Balance

The camera uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture and produce accurate colors under different lighting conditions.

Auto white balance (AWB): The camera automatically adjusts the white balance to the optimal level.

Custom white balance: You can use a gray card or white object with no pattern to establish the white balance and save it to one of two custom white balance settings, [WB-A] or [WB-B].

Preset white balance: Set the white balance to [Tung] (tungsten lighting) or [Dylt] (daylight).

NOTES

• The [Custom Picture] > [Fine Tuning] > [Color Matrix] and [White Balance] settings in the custom picture file take precedence over the white balance set with these procedures.
• You can use the [Camera Setup] > [Shockless WB] setting to make the transition look smoother when you change the white balance settings.
• Some color casting may occur in the highlights (saturated areas) when adjusting the white balance. You can use the [Camera Setup] > [WB Limit] setting to reduce the color casting (for example when shooting under halogen lights) (42).
• You can adjust the white balance with the AWB button, A button, B button, PRESET button and 📋 button on the RC-V100.
• The camera is not equipped with a UV-IR cut filter. Use a commercially available UV-IR cut filter when color shooting in visible light. For more details on compatible UV-IR cut filters, visit your local Canon website.

Auto White Balance (AWB)

The camera constantly adjusts the white balance automatically to achieve an optimal level. The camera will adjust the white balance if the light source changes.

1. Use direct setting mode to select auto white balance.

- Press the left/right buttons on the RC-V100 to highlight the current white balance setting, and the up/down buttons to select [AWB].

NOTES

• Custom white balance may provide better results in the following cases:
• Changing lighting conditions
• Close-ups
• Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest)
• Under mercury lamps and certain types of fluorescent and LED lights

Custom White Balance

Establish the white balance based on the current lighting conditions and save it to one of two custom white balance settings, [WB-A] or [WB-B].

1. Use direct setting mode to select the custom white balance.
2. Press the left/right buttons on the RC-V100 to highlight the current white balance setting, and the up/down buttons to select [WB-A] or [WB-B]. • If a custom white balance has not yet been stored, the custom white balance display [WB-A] or [WB-B]

and default value will flash.

- If you select a previously stored custom white balance, you do not need to perform the rest of the procedure. [WB-A]/[WB-B] will not flash.

1. Point the camera at a gray card or white object so that it fills the whole screen. Use the same lighting conditions you plan to use when shooting.
2. Save the white balance to one of the two custom white balance settings.
3. Press the 📋 button on the RC-V100. • [WB-A] or [WB-B] will flash quickly. • Make sure the gray card or white object fills the screen until the procedure is completed.
4. Once [WB-A] or [WB-B] stops flashing, the procedure is completed. The setting is retained even if you power off the camera.

NOTES

• Readjust the custom white balance if the light source changes.
• Very rarely and depending on the light source, [WB-A] or [WB-B] may keep flashing (it will change to a slow flashing). The result will still be better than with the auto white balance.

Preset White Balances

Set the white balance to [Tung] (tungsten lighting) or [Dylt] (daylight). Preset white balance settings can be further fine-tuned within a range of -9 to 9.

1. Use direct setting mode to select a preset setting.

- Press the left/right buttons on the RC-V100 to highlight the current white balance setting, and the up/down buttons to select [Dylt] or [Tung].

1. Adjust the preset white balance settings.

[Camera Setup] menu

Menu item	Submenu / Setting options
[Light Metering]	[Backlight], [Standard], [Spotlight]
	Selects the light metering mode (26).
	[Backlight]: Suitable when shooting backlit scenes.
	[Standard]: Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving more weight to the subject in the center.
	[Spotlight]: Use this option when shooting a scene in which only a certain part of the picture is lit, for example, when the subject is lit by a spotlight.
[AE Shift]	[+2.0] to [-2.0] ([±0]) (in 0.25-EV increments)
	You can compensate the exposure obtained automatically (camera modes other than [Manual], or while using push auto iris with the camera mode set to [Manual]), in order to darken or lighten the image (26).
[AE Response]	[High], [Normal], [Low]
	Determines how quickly the aperture changes during auto exposure (camera modes other than [Manual], or while using push auto iris with the camera mode set to [Manual]).
[AGC Limit]	[Off (75dB)], [24dB] to [72dB] (in 3-dB increments)
	You can set an automatic gain control (AGC) limit to prevent the camera from using gain values higher than the preset limit when the camera mode is set to a mode other than [Manual] (27).
[Auto Slow Shutter]	[On], [Off]
	Determines the shutter speed used when the camera mode is set to [Auto] or [Av]. When this setting is set to [Off], the camera will not use shutter speeds slower than the frame rate currently used.
[Flicker Reduction]	[Automatic], [Off]
	Allows the camera to automatically detect and correct flicker caused by artificial light sources.
[Shockless WB]	[On], [Off]
	When this setting is set to [On], makes the transition look smoother when the white balance is changed.
[WB Limit]Using the [On] setting reduces the color casting that may occur in the highlights (saturated areas) when adjusting the white balance (for example when shooting under halogen lights). This setting cannot be used when the preset white balance is set to [Tung].		[On], [Off]
[Iris Increment](ML-105 EF only)		[1/2 stop], [1/3 stop], [Fine]Determines the aperture value increment used when adjusting the aperture. When this setting is set to [Fine], the increments will be smaller than 1/3 stop.
[Zoom-Iris Correct.](ML-105 EF only)		[On], [Off]If you are using a compatible lens*, when this setting is set to [On], the camera will adjust the aperture as needed to keep the selected aperture value while zooming. Because of this adjustment, the brightness of the image might change slightly or you may hear the operation sound. When this setting is set to [Off], the aperture will close gradually (the image will turn darker) as you zoom but you will not hear the aperture's operation sound.* Some EF lenses and EF Cinema lenses are not compatible with this function.
[Focus Limit](ML-105 EF only)	[Activate]	[On], [Off]Turns the focus limit on/off (32).
	[Far]	[Set], [Reset], [Cancel]Allows you to set the far end of the focus limit for the attached lens (32). When a focus limit has not been set, [Limit Off] will appear on the submenu screen. After it has been set, [Limit On] will appear instead.[Set]: Saves the current focus position for the far end of the focus limit.[Reset]: Clears the currently set focus position.[Cancel]: Cancels the operation.
	[Near]	[Set], [Reset], [Cancel]Allows you to set the near end of the focus limit for the attached lens (32). When a focus limit has not been set, [Limit Off] will appear on the submenu screen. After it has been set, [Limit On] will appear instead.[Set]: Saves the current focus position for the near end of the focus limit.[Reset]: Clears the currently set focus position.[Cancel]: Cancels the operation.
[Tele-converter]		[4x], [3x], [2x], [Off]Allows you to digitally increase the focal length of the camera by approximately the selected factor. Note that the image is digitally processed so the image will deteriorate throughout the zoom range.
[EF-S Lens](ML-105 EF only)		[On], [Off]When this setting is set to [On], reduces the peripheral illumination fall-off or vignetting that may occur when using an EF Cinema lens with this camera. However, the image is digitally enlarged by a factor of approx. 1.55 so the image will deteriorate.
[ABB]		[Cancel], [OK]Starts the procedure to adjust the black balance automatically (17).
[Color Bars]	[Activate]	[On], [Off]
		Turns color bars on/off.
	[Type]	[SMPTE], [ARIB] (when the system frequency is 59.94 Hz)[EBU], [SMPTE] (when the system frequency is 50.00 Hz)
		Selects the type of color bars. The default setting depends on the country/region of purchase.
[Monochrome]		[On], [Off]

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your camera, refer to this section. Consult your dealer or a Canon Service Center if the problem persists.

While changing the system frequency / frame rate, the image from the camera stopped being displayed on the external monitor.

You may have set a system frequency or frame rate not supported by the external monitor. Follow the instructions below.

• If you had set a frame rate other than 59.94i or 50.00i before the image disappeared: Remove the DIP switch cover and set DIP switch number 1 to ON and then back to OFF (or if it was set to ON, set it to OFF and then back to ON). Alternatively, when using the RC-V100, press and hold simultaneously assignable buttons 1 and 3 until the power indicator goes off*, then release the buttons. The camera will restart with the frame rate set to the default setting for the current system frequency (59.94i or 50.00i). * Even when [Other Functions] > [Power LED] is set to [Off], the power indicator will illuminate when the two assignable buttons are pressed and held at the same time. When the power indicator goes off, release the buttons.
• If you had changed the system frequency before the image disappeared: Remove the DIP switch cover and set DIP switch number 1 to ON or OFF. The camera will restart with the system frequency changed back to its original setting (output at the default frame rate of 59.94i or 50.00i).

The optional RC-V100 Remote Controller does not work.

Remove the DIP switch cover and set DIP switches 2 to 5 to OFF.
