Advanced Professional Features
Pro-level connectivity (bonly)
An industry-standard HD/SD SDI terminal (0127) for uncompressed HD signal output, embedded audio and SMPTE time code (LTC) give the camcorder the functionality of professional broadcast cameras. Genlock synchronization (074) and time
6code synchronization (074) allow the camcorder to be part of any multi-camera shooting setup.
Customization
The camcorder features several customization options. You can assign often-used functions to assignable buttons (097) so that you can call up those functions with the press of a single button. Custom functions (0107) and custom onscreen displays (0108) give you even more freedom to control many aspects of the camcorder’s operation. Save custom picture and menu settings to an SD card so that you can transfer your setting preferences to other XF105/XF100 camcorders in order to use them in the same way.
Other Functions
Audio
Sound is recorded as 2-channel linear PCM audio (16-bit/48 kHz). You can use the built-in microphone, MIC audio input terminal or the two XLR audio input terminals (with phantom power supply) when recording.
Video scopes
Check the brightness of the image using the waveform monitor (084) or the focus using the edge monitor (085).
Added and improved functionality
Other functions include improved image stabilization (053), the option to add metadata to recordings (082), and the Intelligent System-compatible battery pack (0173). Also, optical axis shift (095) and the focal length guide (096) have been added to aid in 3D shooting.

Preparations |

22
Preparing the Power Supply
You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter. If you connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw power from the power outlet.
Charge battery packs before use. For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to Charging Times (0173) and Recording and Playback Times (0173).
Using a Battery Pack
You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-925 or optional BP-950G, BP-955, BP-970G or BP-975 Battery Pack. The BP-925, BP-955 and BP-975 Battery Packs are compatible with Intelligent System, meaning that you can check the remaining battery time even while the camcorder is turned off.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge battery packs using the suppliedCOPYcompact power adapter. Before
charging, disconnect the DC cable from the compact power adapter and remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.
1 If the DC cable is connected to the compact power adapter, disconnect it.
• If the DC cable is connected to the compact power adapter, charging will not start.
2 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter ( ). 3 Plug the power cord into a power outlet ( ).
CHARGE indicator
4Attach the battery pack to the compact power adapter ( ).
•Press lightly and slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow until it clicks.
•The CHARGE indicator starts flashing and also indicates the battery pack’s approximate charge. The indicator will stay on when charging has completed.
0-34%: Flashes once per second
35-69%: Flashes twice per second
70-99%: Flashes 3 times per second
5 When charging has completed, remove the battery pack from the compact power adapter.
6 Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect it from the compact power adapter.
NOTES
• To charge the battery pack, disconnect the DC cable from the compact power adapter.
Preparing the Power Supply
Attaching the Battery Pack
1 Move the dswitch to OFF ( ).
2 Insert the battery pack all the way into the compartment and press gently until it clicks ( ).
Removing the Battery Pack
1 Move the dswitch to OFF.
2Hold down the BATT. RELEASE (battery release) key and remove the battery.
Checking the Remaining BatteryCOPYharge
If you are using the supplied BP-925 or optional BP-955 or BP-975 Battery Pack, you can check the approximate remaining battery charge using one of the following methods when the camcorder is turned off. When the camcorder is turned on, you can check on the remaining battery charge by looking at any recording/playback screen or the [Battery / Hour Meter] status screen (0160).
Press the CHECK button on the battery pack. An indicator will light for approximately 3 seconds and show the approximate remaining battery charge.

Preparing the Power Supply
When the camcorder is off and an Intelligent System-compatible battery pack is attached, press the BATT. (battery information) button to display the remaining battery time and available recording time (displays for 5 seconds). Depending on the battery life, the battery information may not be
24displayed.
IMPORTANT
• Do not connect to the compact power adapter any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between
10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF). Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
•If there is a malfunction with the compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator will go out and charging will stop.
•For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Battery Pack (0168).
•Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
•We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
•The first time you use a battery pack,COPYfully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
•Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. When you arewhilethe
