Firmware Notice EOS C200 / EOS C200B: Explanation and Workaround for Interlaced Recording Issue

Thank you for using Canon products.

We have determined that a recording error may occur with the EOS C200 / C200B. The details of the phenomenon and support plan are described below.

Preparations are underway to incorporate improvements/revisions for the phenomenon into the latest Firmware for the EOS C200 / C200B. Once this Firmware is available for download, we will make an announcement on our website.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to customers, and we ask for your ongoing patience.


Phenomena

Image quality degradation, such as color misalignment or edge distortion, may occur in the recorded footage when using the following combination of settings:

  • recording format XF-AVC
  • frame rate 59.94i / 50.00i
  • 1920×1080 resolution

Workaround

Users should use a configuration that does not include the settings listed above, although we acknowledge that this may not be possible for all users.

Note: This Phenomenon only affects internally recorded footage. Output signals from the output terminals are not affected.
