EOS C100 Continuous Recording Function Firmware Update Now Available
Wow! It’s been a busy week so far. Today Canon released the firmware update for the Continuous Recording Function. This new update enables you to insert metadata markers identifying crucial scenes and moments with a press of a button while recording. Check out the full description below from Canon. The firmware can be DOWNLOADED HERE.

 Directly compatible with Grass Valley’s EDIUS® Pro 7 editing software, Continuous Recording lets you record an entire event without missing any significant moments during corporate presentations and weddings, for example. The same image files and companion metadata are recorded to the EOS C100’spair of media cards, with sequences between each IN and OUT point being tagged as a chosen shot. EDIUS Pro 7 handles real-time editing of these continuous AVCHD-format files while on location from SD media and simultaneous backup using a laptop. Multiple image resolutions, together with unlimited audio, video, graphics and title tracks, EDIUS is an ideal finishing solution for videographers shooting corporate, documentary and theatrical productions. The non-linear editor also supports EDL project import/export and color-correction interchange with DaVinci Resolve™. |
Designed for the capture of crucial, unpredictable scenes during wedding/event, documentary, news, or wildlife filming, the Continuous Recording Function firmware update for the EOS C100 Digital Video Camera enables videographers to insert metadata markers identifying crucial scenes and moments in their footage while continuously recording to the memory capacity. These markers — for both “in” and “out” points — can be set with the press of a button without interrupting the recording process. These markers are identified in metadata as separate “shots,” and are simultaneously recorded to both SD card slots of the EOS C100 camera.
A recap and availability timeline of the feature upgrades and firmware updates detailed in this release can be found in the grid below. For more information, please visit the Canon U.S.A. website at http://usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/standard_display/cinema-firmware.

On a side note Canon has this new remote that is quietly being introduced. Canon RC-V100 Remote Control.
The Canon RC-V100 Remote Control is designed to respond to a diverse array of production needs requiring remote camera operation. The RC-V100 Remote Control enables users to remotely control main camera functions and is compatible with the XF Series professional HD camcorders and Canon’s Cinema EOS C500, Cinema EOS C300 and Cinema EOS C100 cameras. It allows users to remotely control a wide variety of functions built into the cameras, as well as adjust and set various controls, such as exposure and white balance.
The RC-V100 Remote Control is expected to be available in June 2014 at a suggested retail price of $2,999.
This is a very expensive remote but could be very handy in remote switching situations where no operator is at the camera.
