The Canon XF205 Professional Camcorder is a
compact, high-performance, high image quality system ideal for use with
a variety of digital cinema and broadcast operations. Targeted at sports
production, TV variety shows, commercials and drama shows, in addition
to independent movie production, government applications, education,
weddings and other social event videography, the camcorder features a
wide-angle 20x optical zoom lens with three control rings, image
stabilization, infrared capabilities, flexible MXF/MP4 dual recording at
various data rates, two/four-channel audio recording, Wi-Fi®
connectivity, plus 3G-SDI and monitor outputs as well as time code and
genlock connections.
A versatile Canon 20x HD wide-angle video lens captures images with
outstanding clarity across a broad 26.8–576 mm* zoom range. An
eight-blade circular aperture provides natural and visually pleasing
bokeh. Three separate rings control focus, zoom and iris settings. A new
Five-Axis Dynamic SuperRange OIS System dramatically reduces the
image-degrading effects of camera shake, and a new rotating handgrip
enables comfortable camera positioning at shooting angles from high to
low.
Dual-frequency Wi-Fi® and an Ethernet connector enable browser preview
during shoots, in addition to FTP transfer to external servers, PCs or
laptops. HD-SDI ports handle video with embedded audio and time code
data for monitoring and recording of frame rates up to 30fps, and a new
3G-SDI port supports 1080p video at frame rates up to 60 fps. Time code
I/O helps ensure frame-accurate sync during editing and post-production.
The XF205 camcorder can also be used with Canon’s new RC-V100 Remote
Controller to provide full access to important user functions, including
start/stop, zoom/focus/iris, white balance and more.
