Canon C400/C80 | The Level Bar
The gyroscope used in the Canon C400 and C80 gives us new features that are a first for Canon. The level feature is incredibly useful (I'll never turn it off) but very difficult to find in the menus.

Also my first TH-cam video! I'm curious to hear if any of this was useful so please comment to let me know. Yes, the backpack zips up ful...
Subscribed and ready to hear all you discover about the C80. Thanks for letting us all learn from you.
Thanks for sharing! Are you using v90 SD cards or do v60 work well enough?
@@Profshulman I use both. V60 cards work fine with XF-AVC at all frame rates. I’d use v90 for RAW.
@ thanks!
Whats the bp-a battery you are running and do you have much time behind it? I just got a c80 as well and need a dtap and usb-c but want them on the side versus the back so I don't get jabbed! Thanks!
@@joshpreissner565 BLUESHAPE. I recommend it with a few caveats. I’ve been using them for 4 years. 3 can get me through the day with monitor and transmitter. I got them for the same reasons as you. The USB is USB-A but easy to adapt. Downsides: -can’t power camera with dc in while these are connected -usb-a port isn’t active until you press on the back button to check battery levels -port covers break off easily
Some extra thoughts: some weird things that the C70 has which the C80 does not: -view assist in playback mode -assignable select dial (back at the bottom) Wooden Camera Top Plate: My thumb has some difficulty getting under it to access the power button. A little annoying.
Stupid question: how do you activate the level? Very helpful video.
Go to the display menu > custom display 1 > level (bar). I also upped the level sensitivity in the last menu with the gear icon to 2x.
I just bought the C70. The price dropped and became more affordable. Even with the limitations I still love it.
Yeah it’s arguably a better image than the C80 in certain high dynamic range scenarios. For me the benefits of triple base ISO, 6K oversampling and full frame tick my A cam boxes, but C70 is a dream B cam. I’ll continue to use it 30% of the time most likely.
The dummy battery adaptor looks like a game changer for weight distribution! Will have to check it out - always interested in peoples little game changing objects/accessories, so if you have any more, I'd love to see a video!
Amazing. I'm glad you said so. I'm gonna start making a list of little game-changers for video topics. Are you A C70/80 shooter as well?
@@DavidEllsDP Currently a c70/r3 shooter, at a turning point between a c400 or a Red KX as an A cam
Great video. I'm a c70 shooter as well. I've watched a lot of c80 videos and this is the first one to talk about digital IS, the gyro, and the level, which I didn't realize were featured in this camera.
I really appreciate your comment! I'd like to go more in depth in a second video. Any specifics I can cover that you'd be interested in? I want to show a side-by-side of the Digital IS but I'm unsure how to control for the variables that are inherent in shaky movement.
@@DavidEllsDP I wouldn't mind seeing a quick and dirty IS comparison even if it's not a perfect test. Maybe hand held standing still and then a walking shot with both cameras.
@@DavidEllsDPI’d love to see what settings you are using for shooting and any hacks with assignable buttons that have improved your workflow.
@ I’ll definitely do an assignable buttons video. Thanks for confirming that direction!
