The XF605 camcorder’s 1.0-inch sensor allows for larger photosites compared to smaller-sized sensors, resulting in improved images with less noise in low-light situations. The larger sensor also exhibits a shallower depth of field at large apertures, providing greater depth of field control and creative options. The camcorder’s DIGIC DV 7 imaging engine further enhances the high sensitivity and low noise performance of the camcorder.

15x Optical 4K UHD L Zoom Lens with 5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization – The XF605 Professional Camcorder incorporates a Canon 4K video lens that leverages proprietary Canon optical technologies derived from years of experience in developing Cinema, Broadcast and EF-series lenses. Inspired by the same high level of optical precision used in Canon broadcast and photographic lenses, the Canon XF605 camcorder incorporates a Genuine Canon 15x L-series optical zoom lens that maintains 4K UHD quality throughout the entire zoom range, and offers a focal length range of 25.5 to 382.5mm (35mm film equivalent). Users can get up to 30x Advanced Zoom when shooting in Full HD, which utilizes the XF605 camcorder’s full 4K UHD sensor to extend the zoom range while maintaining image quality.

5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization – The XF605 camcorder also incorporates a 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization (IS) system, featuring three modes of image stabilization: Standard, Dynamic and Powered. In Standard IS mode, the stabilizing angle is made constant, independent of the zoom magnification. Dynamic IS mode extends the stabilizing range at the wide end of the focal length, allowing for image stabilization when shooting while walking. Powered IS mode helps facilitate stabilization in the low frequency range at the tele end and should be used exclusively for fixed-point shooting which does not involve panning.

9-blade Iris – For enhanced versatility and durability, the lens features a 9-blade iris, producing artistic and beautiful out-of-focus areas or “bokeh.” The 9 blades allow for attractive circular blurring in out-of-focus regions, while the use of an odd number of blades helps reduce flaring of specular highlights.

Independent 3-Density ND Filter – A compact and independent internal 3-density ND filter, using a turret (circular) mechanism, allows the user to select from three densities (ND 1/4, ND 1/16, and ND 1/64) or turn the feature off if needed. Density can be adjusted using the dedicated external buttons.

The XF605 also features a variety of assist functions to support auto/manual exposure control during HDR shooting, allowing users to record HDR video using their usual shooting methods.

Canon Log 3 – Designed with creative post-processing in mind, Canon Log 3 is a gamma designed for simple grading at a deep level for toning up dark areas and adjusting color tone/gradation to make noise less noticeable. By shooting in Canon Log 3, users can manipulate the information that’s recorded, from dark areas to highlights. This makes the range for color grading wider and enables video to be produced with generous latitude that couldn’t be reproduced with video gammas. Simple previews can also be performed on-site with Look-Up Table (LUT) accuracy.Canon Log 3 shooting can be especially effective for documentaries and other settings with drastic changes, along with outdoor and other locations where light conditions change frequently, or where monitoring setups may be insufficient.

Wide DR Gamma (800%) Support – The XF605 Professional Camcorder supports Wide DR Gamma. For natural and realistic- looking image capture that faithfully represents the scene at hand, Wide DR Gamma achieves a wide dynamic range of 800% to produce almost seamless tone gradations, resulting in smooth detail and virtually no blown-out highlights, all without requiring post-production.
