Hello, I am new to the canon cinema camera world but finally upgraded my r6 to a c80 for documentary work. (I was using Sonys fx3 and fx6 for doc filming)

does the c80 have view assist when shooting log?

Greetings,

View Assist should be available when shooting LOG except when False Color is selected. The color space is approximate, so captured footage will appear differently in Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut , etc. I haven't reviewed all of the documentation for FW 1.0.1.1 which was released on the 19th of this month.

Sure it does, on the LCD, and the HDMI and SDI outputs, individually settable. Just read the manual. Page 156 should help.

Or, just browse through the menu. The ViewAssist settings are on the 5th top tab, "Monitoring Setup", page 7.

Sadly, though, it looks like ViewAssist does not currently work in Playback or Preview modes, even on the built-in LCD, which is a bummer. I'm hoping for a firmware fix for this.

Not having view assist in playback mode has irritated me forever with the R5C, figured it was an oversight as the R5C is kinda a weird camera. Then on my new C80, same thing! It's whatever, most clients are well informed enough to know that log footage needs processing and I can show them that while we are shooting.

Yeah really annoying about the playback, and the same thing with the multi control app, I can’t see any view assist setting in that app or on the camera for it so you get stuck previewing log on the app monitor.
