GENUINE CANON HD ZOOM LENSES

The XF305 and XF300 feature a superb Canon 18x
HD L-series video lens capable of delivering 1,000
TV lines of resolution. With a 35mm-equivalent zoom range of

29.3 – 527.4mm, it covers everything from wide-angle to super­telephoto with exemplary sharpness
and clarity. As with world-renowned
Canon EF L-series camera lenses,
this HD L-series lens incorporates
High-Index-Ultra-Low Dispersion

(HI-UD), UD and aspherical lens elements to capture high­resolution video with absolutely minimal chromatic aberration.
Mechanical end stops for both zoom and focus systems assure
precise and predictable lens operation, while distance indicators
on the lens barrel make it easy to set and repeat focus points
while recording.
The XF105 and XF100 camcorders feature a meticulously
engineered Canon 10x HD Video lens with a versatile 35mm­equivalent range of 30.4 – 304mm. Close-focusing capability
(to 60cm) is maintained throughout the entire zoom range, and
a maximum aperture of f/1.8 enhances video capture capability
in low-light conditions.
The XF Series uses the latest Canon SuperRange Optical
Image Stabilizer (OIS) system, which ensures effective
correction for camera shake and jitter over the widest range of
shooting situations. Powered mode improves vibration
suppression at telephoto focal lengths where camera shake is

NATIVE 1920 X 1080 CANON CMOS
IMAGE SENSORS

Engineered and manufactured entirely by Canon,
the CMOS image sensors employed in the XF Series
camcorders feature native 1920 x 1080 resolution to ensure
Full HD video recording with wide dynamic range and low
noise. The 1/3-inch sensor size enables a compact lens and

body design for greater shooting versatility.
The XF305 and XF300 use three CMOS
image sensors for optimal color purity
and accuracy.

DIGIC DV III IMAGE PROCESSOR

The next-generation
Canon DIGIC DV III Image
Processor employs powerful
algorithms to deliver superlative

camcorder performance. Colors are
lifelike with excellent black reproduction. Tonal gradations
and shadow detail are captured with remarkable accuracy.
Proprietary Canon Face Detection technology delivers
unrivaled AF performance. The highly efficient processing,
moreover, minimizes power consumption, delivering longer
battery life.

MPEG-2 4:2:2 50MBPS CODEC

The XF Series camcorders deliver exceptional image quality
using the state-of-the-art Canon XF Codec, which captures Full
HD (1920 x 1080) at a maximum constant bit rate of 50Mbps
with 4:2:2 color sampling and industry-standard MPEG-2
compression. 4:2:2 sampling delivers twice the color resolution
of HDV and other 4:2:0 codecs, thus ensuring ultra-fine tonal
transitions through post-production processes. The 50Mbps bit
rate provides the high bandwidth needed to deliver superior
color rendition and image detail. Reliable and versatile MPEG-2
compression assures the widest compatibility with profession­al editing and processing software, including those from
Adobe, Apple, Avid and Grass Valley. The XF Series uses MXF
(Material Exchange Format), an internationally recognized
standard container format that enables video, audio and
important metadata to be wrapped into a single file. MXF
assures the highest production compatibility and maintains
access to critical acquisition information throughout the
workflows found in today’s high-end network and studio
systems.

COMPACT FLASH CARD RECORDING

XF Series camcorders record on non-proprietary
CF cards. In addition to their rugged, solid-state
construction and the speed and ease with which files can be
transferred to computers, CF cards represent a significant cost
savings. The XF Series cameras have two hot-swappable CF card
slots, enabling relay recording, copying and backup.

CANON HD CMOS PRO IMAGE SENSOR

Shoot High Definition with the professional’s edge

Select VIXIA camcorders feature the Canon HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor, a 1/3-inch native
1920 x 1080 image sensor that incorporates the same proven technology at the heart of Canon’s
pro-grade camcorders. The HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor defies convention: using fewer pixels
than typical consumer camcorder sensors, it delivers far superior video performance.

OUTSTANDING VIDEO RESOLUTION

(800 Vertical and 900 Horizontal TV Lines)

The effective number of pixels in the HD CMOS Pro
Image Sensor is exactly equal to 1920 x 1080, the
resolution of Full High Definition video. Because there
is no need to resize the image captured by the sensor,
Full HD video is recorded with the utmost precision,
resulting in exceptionally high resolution.

SUPERB LOW-LIGHT PERFORMANCE (1.5 Lux*)

Because the pixel dimensions are precisely those
needed to capture Full HD, each pixel site is larger
and more sensitive to light. This results in far greater
light gathering capability, enabling high-quality video
to be captured even in dim lighting.

PHOTO GRAB

When you’re playing back your video footage and see a frame
that would make a great photo, you can “grab” it. Photo Grab
is a professional level feature that lets you “grab” a photo
from your HD video footage. And select camcorders also offer
a Continuous Photo Grab feature, allowing 30 photos from one
second of video to be copied. Now, better photos filled with
action and expressions are easy to grab, print, post and share.

DIRECT PRINTING/PICTBRIDGE

You can print the photos you’ve
captured with your camcorder directly

to a printer without using a computer. Canon
photo printers work in tandem with Canon
camcorders to optimize
print quality. And Canon
camcorders also use
the PictBridge standard,
allowing you to print
directly from your cam­corder to any PictBridge
compatible printer.
