Shoot in 4K mode (A 65).
You can record RAW data on a CDX-36150 Recorder docked with the camera* or using an external
RAW recorder connected to one of the camera's SDI OUT terminals (A 152). You can also record
Intra-frame (YCbCr 4:2:2) data (XF-AVC or ProRes format) on a CFast card in the camera.
In addition to the main RAW recording, you can record simultaneously an additional sub recording
in the camera (A 71). You can use the CFast card (XF-AVC clips, 4K or 2K) or SD card (XF-AVC
Proxy clips, 2K), depending on the type of sub recording clips you need or how you intend to use
them in post-production.
After recording RAW data, you can develop the RAW data using the Cinema RAW Development
software (A 158) to generate full-quality data. Using the Canon RAW Plugin, you can work with
RAW recordings directly from supported NLE applications.
• You can also generate proxy data with the software.
• YCbCr 4:2:2 clips recorded on the CFast card can be treated as full-quality data without any additional
processing.
Transfer the 2K clips recorded in the camera, or proxy data generated by the software, to your NLE
system and edit offline (A 158).
Perform color grading based on the full-quality data.
