Capture high quality HD to CF cards
The XF305
records MPEG-2 MXF (Media eXchange Format) files - up to 1920 x 1080
Full HD at 50Mbps (4:2:2) - to CompactFlash (CF) memory cards. CF media
is inexpensive and widely available: dual card slots allow filming to
continue without interruption.
Flexible editing
Integrating seamlessly with
existing workflows, movies shot on the XF305 are captured as
industry-standard MXF files compatible with all major editing packages.
18x wide-angle lens
Drawing on Canon's broadcast
lens expertise - and informed by the feedback of professionals - the
lightweight 18x L-series HD Video Lens delivers superb optical quality.
Unique Ultra-Low Dispersion (Hi-UD) elements are used to prevent
chromatic aberration. Separate rings offer independent control of Focus,
Zoom and Iris (F1.6) - with full manual control available, end stops
are provided for the focus and zoom rings.
3x Full HD CMOS
Full HD at 1920 x 1080 resolution
is captured via three 1/3 type 2.07 Megapixel Full HD CMOS sensors -
designed and manufactured by Canon in-house. High speed scanning
minimises the effects of a rolling shutter.
10.1 cm LCD and 1.3 cm EVF
The 10.1 cm (4") LCD
screen can be positioned either side of the camera. Offering superior
resolution (1.2M dots), the Focus Assist tool helps achieve sharp
images. A built-in Waveform Monitor (WFM) helps verify exposure and
other shooting parameters. Alternatively, a 1.3 cm (0.52") Electronic
Viewfinder (EVF) is available.
Variable frame rate
A wide range of frame rates
is available, from 12 to 50 fps. This gives cameramen the freedom to
alter the capture rate for additional creative flexibility.
Professional jackpack and independent audio
HD-SDI
output is the industry standard, outputting uncompressed Full HD with
embedded audio and Timecode. Genlock In and Timecode In/Out allow the
XF305 to be used in a multi-camera shoot. Audio can be captured via twin
XLR inputs and also with the front-mounted stereo microphone.
Custom pictures
Twenty-six Custom Picture options
can be adjusted to achieve the perfect look. These can be stored
in-camera - via SD card - and settings can even be transferred between
camcorders.
CPS support
Canon's exclusive CPS Video Support offers a priority repair service, guaranteeing quick turnaround.
