Canon EOS C100 is a new Cinema Camcorder who brings true cinema quality to independent event videographers and video production organizations. It is also the latest addition to the Cinema EOS family, bringing together the renowned technology of Canon CMOS sensors, DIGIC DV III Image Processor, and EF lens compatibility in a smaller, lighter body.

I just bought a new Canon EOS C100 camcorder because I read that it would be compatible with my Mac and FCP. However, I cannot get FCP to recognize the video on the device. When I connect my camcorder via USB cord, my Mac recognizes the drive, but I just can't get FCP to recognize any video files or anything. I don't know much about computers or camcorders but I really need to figure this out for work. Can any one give me some help?
