The presence of a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor and a dual DIGIC DV6 processor ensures the camcorder has improved audio performance, greater sensitivity, and a larger depth of field. With multiple features like HDR, a 12G-SDI interface, and IP communication, the XF705 camcorder revolutionizes UHD workflows for HDR production.Â
Canon XF705: increasingly versatile formats
Based on the High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) video compression and the Material Exchange Format (MXF) standard, Canon has created the XF-HEVC format with encoding performance twice as efficient as the classic H.264/AVC. Thanks to the XF-HEVC format, the XF705 camcorder can count on optimized 4K UHD data management and record high-quality 4K UHD/50P files with 4:2:2 10-bit color sampling on SD cards.
It is possible to record HDR files internally using the HDR Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) and Perceptual Quantisation (PQ) curves. Furthermore, it features numerous HDR assistance functions to help the user control exposure. The XF705 also allows simultaneous HDR/SDR production: it is in fact capable of outputting an SDR signal while internally recording an HDR file to an SD card. Equipped with an advanced 12G-SDI interface, it can also send a high-quality uncompressed UHD/50P signal via a single SDI cable, thus transmitting an HDR signal in 4K UHD in HEVC format. Ideal for applications such as broadcasts and video productions, the XF705 meets the requirements of users who want to create HDR videos in 4K UHD with optimized workflows.
Canon XF705: shoot with complete confidence
The XF705 features Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which simplifies focusing with the 1.0-inch CMOS sensor. Additionally, this new camcorder ensures fast and accurate autofocus with touch, face detection, and subject tracking functionalities. The Focus Guide function, on the other hand, allows for accurate focusing in case of manual adjustment.
The XF705 camcorder offers excellent optical systems, unparalleled versatility, and maximum ease of use. The L-series 4K lens features a 15x zoom, a maximum aperture of f/2.8, a 25.5mm wide-angle, and effective image stabilization, thus ensuring high control and stable 4K UHD shooting. The three independent control rings, finally, ensure that the camcorder always has the ideal level of manual control for professional use.Â
