Even with the release of the R5 C, Canon shows some love to the C70 with a much-appreciated firmware update.
The Canon C70 was released in 2020 and offers a Super35 sensor that records in 4K. The dual gain sensor provided 16+ stops of total dynamic range with Dual Pixel autofocus and electronic image stabilization that paired perfectly with optically stabilized lenses.
However, recording formats were limited to XF-AVC in either Intra or Long GOP.
Today, Canon aims to change that with a welcome update that brings internal RAW options, as well as two new recording modes and color profiles.

The biggest addition in this update is Canon’s 12-bit Cinema RAW Light. This comes in RAW ST, LT, and HQ but is limited to certain sensor modes.
When in the Super35 mode, users will only be able to record RAW ST and LT at a 4095 by 2160 resolution. But when cropped into the Super16 mode, all three flavors of RAW will be available with a resolution of 2048 by 1080.
