Harnessing 4K HDR
Employ the XF705 for future-proof broadcast and cinematic projects by utilising its 4K UHD 60p recording with 10-bit 4:2:2 colour depth in the efficient XF-AVC (H.265/HEVC) codec. Take advantage of its HDR recording capabilities (PQ and HLG) for high-quality deliverables.
Versatile Optical Zoom
Make the most of the integrated 15x optical zoom lens (25.5-382.5mm), which, combined with the 1.0-inch sensor, offers a versatile focal range for various shots while achieving a more cinematic look than smaller sensor camcorders. Use the independent control rings for precise manual operation.
Reliable Autofocus for Run-and-Gun
For single-operator scenarios or fast-paced newsgathering, rely on Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF with touch-panel AF, face detection, and subject tracking to maintain critical focus on moving subjects, minimising manual focus pulling.
Robust Stabilisation
Benefit from the 5-axis Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), which effectively compensates for camera shake, ensuring smooth and steady handheld footage even at telephoto lengths. This is invaluable in situations where tripods aren’t practical.
Professional Connectivity
Utilise the 12G-SDI terminal for high-bandwidth 4K output via a single cable and the two XLR audio inputs with phantom power for professional sound recording. Employ the dual SD card slots for simultaneous or relay recording to ensure data security.
