High Sensitivity / Low Noise
The XF400 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 new DIGIC DV 6 imaging engine further enhances
the high sensitivity and low noise performance of the camcorder.
* With Auto Slow Shutter ON and shutter speed at 1/30 sec.

Wide DR Gamma (800%) Support
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, accurate color and virtually no blown-out highlights.

15x Optical 4K UHD Zoom Lens with 5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization
The XF400 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 XF400 camcorder incorporates a Genuine Canon 15x 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 XF400 camcorder’s full 4K UHD sensor to extend the zoom
range while maintaining image quality.

5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization
The XF400 camcorder also incorporates a 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization (IS) system.
The camcorder features 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.
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.

Optional Wide and Tele Accessories
The optional Wide Attachment WA-U58 and the Tele Converter TL-U58 accessories expand the
creative capabilities of the XF400 camcorder.
The Wide Attachment WA-U58 offers a 0.8x wider angle of view that enables users to capture
more of a scene, especially when indoors or in tight spaces, to lend better perspective to your
video narrative. The Tele Converter TL-U58 provides extended 1.5x longer telephoto range for
the XF400 camcorder’s fixed lens, allowing distant subjects to be captured with brilliant clarity.
