Canon continues to develop products that meet the changing needs of the sectors it serves. It offers solutions to the needs of the broadcasting and production industries with the XF605 professional 4K camera and 10x16 KAS S 8K BCTV zoom lens it introduced to the market. Designed with solo shooters in mind, the XF605 is based on the features of the famous XF series. Thanks to this feature, it is positioned as a powerful product for news gathering and studio productions. These new products meet industry standards and provide production teams with a solution package that can produce high image quality in any shooting environment.
XF605: Performance Without Compromise
The XF605 represents the next generation of Canon's XF series cameras. A feature-packed camera, it is capable of impressive 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit image quality in a small form factor, as well as FHD at frame rates up to 120p. Powered by a 1.0 Type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 7 processor, this camera performs at the highest levels demanded by today's professionals. The
Featuring the 5-axis image stabilization capacity of Canon's XF and XA series, the XF605 supports superior quality shots even in dynamic shooting scenarios. With four IS options, it combines different settings in Standard, Dynamic and Enhanced IS, allowing users to choose the most appropriate and effective IS operation for their shooting environment. With high magnification 4K L series lenses, the XF605 can ideally capture distant subjects by reaching 15x optical zoom in 4K and 30x enhanced zoom in FHD.
The XF605 features Canon's fast and accurate Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus System. With this hardware, Eye AF and Canon's EOS iTR AF X smart head detection and tracking function are offered to users for the first time in the XF series. This improved focusing system maintains clear focus on the subject even when the subject turns away from the camera. The new Direct Touch user interface allows users to quickly and intuitively select topics to focus on, as well as gain control over display settings, menu navigation and playback control.
Versatility and Easy Workflows with Simple Operation
Approximately 10% smaller and 600g lighter than the XF705, the XF605 weighs just 2kg, making it easy to shoot on the go. Designed with the solo operator in mind, this camera combines portability with a convenient new multi-function accessory shoe designed to extend the XF605's capabilities with future accessories, including TEAC's CA-XLR2d-C high definition XLR microphone adapter. The adapter allows the XLR inputs to be aligned across all four audio channels offered by the XF605, offering greater flexibility in audio recording. The camera also taps into the live streaming trend that has taken off over the past year, thanks to the addition of IP streaming capability that supports multiple protocols, remote control for multi-camera operation with Canon's PTZ camera range, and UVC for simple webcam use via USB-C.
The XF605 stands out as a flexible camera that can be easily integrated into your existing workflows. With its dual SD card slot and multiple recording options, it allows recording to separate cards simultaneously in different formats, resolutions, color samples and proxies. Users can simultaneously output the image from both 12G-SDI and HDMI connections. Users can also stream this output to any combination of monitors, broadcast and recording systems, ensuring it supports both live and pre-recorded workflows. Ideal for shooting on the go, the XF605 is compatible with Canon's new Content Transfer Mobile (CTM) application. This app allows users to edit news metadata before and after recording and import their recordings from the camera to the phone, allowing for quick transfer of content to broadcast stations, for example.
