BPS is excited to announce the brand new Canon XF605 Camcorder. A versatile broadcast quality 4K camcorder, with advanced AF, connectivity and streaming for demanding productions available for pre-order now.
The new Canon XF605 delivers the next level of performance and control for solo shooters. With 15x optical zoom, professional connectivity and advanced autofocus including eye detection AF and intelligent head tracking for the first time in the XF Series, it’s a versatile camcorder that fits comfortably in the studio or in the field.
The XF05 with its large 1.0-Type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV7 processor works in harmony to deliver 4K UHD 60P/50P in 4:2:2 10-bit XF-AVC and MP4 as well as FHD 120P HFR for exceptional image quality and flexibility in post-production. An L-Series 15x zoom lens ensures optical excellence, with powerful 5-Axis Image Stabilisation giving razor-sharp results while on the move.
The new Canon also offers MXF based XF-AVC and MP4 recording formats, expanded dynamic range in Canon Log 3 for flexibility in post-production and broadcast-ready PQ or HLG HDR formats. Enhanced recording modes include slow & fast motion (up to 120P), pre-recording, frame recording and interval recording making it the ideal broadcast-friendly camcorder.In addition the XF605 also includes high sensitivity mode and gain boost/ IR recording to ensure that it captures high-quality images in low light. It is also the first XF Series camcorder to feature Eye Detection AF and Canon’s EOS iTR AF X Intelligent Tracking technology, which ensures that the focus stays locked on to the subject’s head even when they turn away from the camera. Other focus assist tools include Dual Pixel Focus Guide to aid manual focusing and Tracking AF to smoothly track any subject.
Canon has made sure the XF605 is equipped with a versatile range of connections, including 12G-SDI, Ethernet and XLRs, to seamlessly integrate into live and offline production environments. Support for simultaneous output over EVF/LCD/HDMI/SDI enables multi-viewing and external recording using a variety of devices.
The new camcorder has excellent remote control and network functionality offering greater control and integration into multi-camera productions. Users can take control of XF605 in a multi-cam setup alongside Canon PTZ cameras via the RC-IP100 hardware controller, or use Wi-Fi to operate XF605 through the improved browser remote for smartphones and tablets.
The XF605 offers enhanced usability with touchscreen functions including playback control and menu navigation for easy adjustment of settings, 11 user-assignable buttons and independent lens control rings offering control over Focus, Zoom and Iris for intuitive handling and customisation. The built-in motorised ND system provides the flexibility to control lighting and depth of field in a variety of shooting conditions. With its notably compact size and body weight of approximately 2,000g, XF605 is the perfect ‘carry-on’ companion. Despite its small dimensions, it’s a highly capable workhorse camcorder, with a durable dust and drip-proof design.
