Description: NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore reads up on the finer points of using a Canon EOS-1D C camera with a Canon CN-E24mm T1.5 L F lens (shown with an IMAX lens cap) on the International Space Station (ISS). Three Canon EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Cameras and two EOS-1D C cameras were sent to the ISS, where the Canon EOS-1D C camera was chosen given its full frame 1.5:1 aspect ratio, which is fairly close to the 1.44:1 IMAX aspect ratio, and also due to its 16-bit color space. [1] Launched to the ISS in September of 2014 on an unmanned SpaceX Dragon, the camera captured footage for a documentary called "A Perfect Planet."[2]
