Overview Compact in size, light weight and fully featured, the
Canon XF105 Professional Camcorder can be tailored to fit a wide range of
individual needs. While sharing many of the capabilities of the Canon XF305 and XF300 Professional Camcorders, including the Canon XF Codec and Compact Flash (CF) recording, the XF105 offers some
exciting new features of its own.
Whether used as a companion to the XF305 or XF300 or as a standalone camcorder, the XF105 is geared for a wide range of
applications where high image quality, extreme portability, and efficient workflow are of the utmost importance. And with infrared recording and true stereoscopic 3-D production capabilities, the
XF105 allows users to explore new creative outlets and emerging markets.
The
XF105 utilizes Canon's XF Codec - a file-based MPEG-2 compression with an MXF File Wrapper that ensures the widest
compatibility with existing industry infrastructure, metadata and non-linear editing (NLE) systems. The codec's 4:2:2 color sampling provides ultra-fine transitions in tone and color for maintaining
the highest image quality needed for advanced post production processing.
The XF105's newly developed Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens along with a Canon native 1920 x 1080 CMOS Image Sensor delivers
exceptional image quality. The
Canon XF105 also offers multiple recording bit rates, resolutions and variable frame rates to expand creative flexibility, allowing users to work in virtually any production
environment.
Incorporating industry-standard HD-SDI output, genlock input SMPTE time code input/output terminals makes the Canon XF105 perfectly
matched for live application and multi-camera shooting.
Features - MPEG-2 recording to 2 CF cards at up to 50Mbps (4:2:2) - Light, compact design; XLR inputs - 10x zoom Canon HD Video Lens - 1/3 type Full HD Canon CMOS - HD-SDI, Timecode, Genlock; 3D Assist Functions - 8.8cm (3.5") 920k dot LCD; 0.6cm (0.24"), 260k dot EVF - Variable frame rates - An unprecedented combination of versatility and Full HD image
quality
MPEG-2 recording at up to 50Mbps (4:2:2) The
Canon XF105 records MPEG-2 MXF (Media eXchange Format) files - up to 1920 x 1080 Full HD at 50Mbps (4:2:2) - to relatively inexpensive
and widely available Compact Flash (CF) memory cards. Relay Recording across two card slots allow filming to continue without interruption, whilst Double Slot Recording lets you store the same
footage to both cards.
Light, compact design; XLR inputs Putting exceptional functionality in the palm of your hand, the durable and lightweight design enables exceptional versatility.
Linear PCM audio can be captured via twin XLR inputs and also using the front-mounted stereo microphone.
10x zoom Canon HD Video Lens Drawing on Canon's broadcast lens expertise, XF105 features a fast,
wide angle Canon HD Video Lens (f1.8-f2.8, 30.4mm) with built-in control ring for adjustment of zoom, focus or iris. An enhanced Optical Image Stabilizer system helps to reduce chromatic
aberration, maintain sharpness and reduce lens size.
1/3 type Full HD Canon CMOS A 2.07MP Full HD CMOS sensor - designed and manufactured by Canon -
captures Full HD video at native 1920x1080 resolution. The sensor is equipped with a Bayer pattern colour filter for high sensitivity and wide dynamic range; high-speed data readout technology
minimises rolling-shutter skew that can occur in CMOS camcorders.
HD-SDI, Timecode, Genlock; 3D Assist Functions HD-SDI output is the industry standard, outputting uncompressed
Full HD with embedded audio and Timecode. A combined Genlock In and Timecode In/Out terminal allows the
XF105 to be used in a multi-camera shoot. Genlock and 3D Shooting Assist functions (OIS
Axis Shift and Focal Length Guide) support stereoscopic 3D video capture using two camcorders.
8.8cm (3.5'') 920k dot LCD; 0.6cm (0.24"), 260k dot EVF Both camcorders feature a large, side-mounted LCD. This 8.8cm
(3.5") screen has a sharp, 920k dot resolution, with a built-in waveform monitor and Edge Focus function to help set up the shot. A 0.61cm (0.25''), 260k dot EVF with 100% coverage is also
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.
