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.
