Experience
top-notch image quality with
Canon’s latest compact multi-purpose
camera with high sensitivity
The ME200S-SH
supports a variety of production needs ranging from video production to security
surveillance
SINGAPORE, April 27, 2016 — Canon today announced a new multi-purpose camera,
the ME200S-SH. Equipped with its highly sensitive sensors, the latest addition
to Canon’s multi-purpose camera range is capable of providing high quality
images from its small and lightweight camera body.
With
its compactness, the ME200S-SH can be accompanied with a range of drones and
gimbal systems. It can also be used as a sub-camera for video production in
locations where portability is important. Easily compatible with peripheral equipment
such as pan tilt zoom remote heads, the multi-purpose camera is also suitable
for use in surveillance applications as well.
"Crafted with versatility
in mind and geared to meet the needs of professional users, the ME200S-SH
combines stunning imaging performance with its compact design to create the
perfect camera for shooting a myriad of scenarios and styles. With the
flexibility to link up with a variety of peripheral units, the ME200S-SH will
deliver high quality professional footages, even in challenging
environments." said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations,
Canon Singapore.
Enhanced video
imaging quality
Equipped
with Canon's Super-35mm CMOS image sensor (effective pixels of approx. 8.29
megapixels) and DIGIC DV4 for enhanced arithmetic processing capacity, the
ME200S-SH produces excellent video quality with fewer occurrences of colour artefacts,
moiré, and jaggies[1].
With a
minimum subject illumination of 0.015 lux or less[2] and
a maximum gain[3] of 56 dB (equivalent to ISO
speed of approximately 200,000), the ME200S-SH is able to shoot clear videos
with significantly reduced noise in low-light environments. Furthermore, the
use of Canon Log with its wide dynamic range and Wide DR gamma allows users to
shoot with smoother gradations while alleviating blown-out highlights and loss
of shadow details.
Greater video
expression and quality shoots
The
ME200S-SH is compatible with the extensive line-up of Canon EF lenses and EF
CINE-SERVO lenses. In addition, by including Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, this
multi-purpose camera is able to automatically focus on a subject in the centre
of the screen with Continuous AF.
The ME200S-SH
also supports various interfaces used for video production shoots, such as
3G/HD-SDI and HDMI terminals for output to external recorders and monitors, as
well as a remote terminal. This enables easy operation when carrying out shoots
in challenging environments with the help of a remote control.
Pricing and
availability
The
Canon ME200S-SH will be available from August 2016 and its pricing will be advised
at a later date.

[1] The informal name for artefacts in raster images, most frequently
from aliasing, which in turn is often caused by non-linear mixing effects
producing high-frequency components or missing or poor anti-aliasing filtering
prior to sampling.
[2] Compliant with the specification method for CCTV devices
(TTR-4602B) issued by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA). Theoretical value based on the following
shooting conditions: colour, no light accumulation, f/1.2, 30P, 50 IRE
[3] Gain indicates the power of amplitude of a signal output from the
pixels. Units are in decibels (dB). Increasing the gain setting value makes it
possible to shoot in dark locations.
