Canon is a go-to choice for ENG, sports, entertainment, and narrative applications.

It offers up to UHD 4K60 4:2:2 10-bit capture in a variety of both All-I and Long-GOP XF-AVC and MP4 H.264/H.265 formats with the ability to capture different codecs and rates simultaneously to its dual SD card slots. A Direct Touch Control touchscreen menu, four-channel XLR audio, simultaneous outputs, a USB-C video output, and an iPhone app built on established XF series features such as individual focus, iris, zoom rings, and built-in ND filters. Capture rates of up to UHD 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 include broadcast-friendly 59.94 frame rates.
The DIGIC DV 7 engine powers the camcorder's processing of the 4K, 10-bit 4:2:2 video and selectable color matrix settings, including Canon EOS and other industry-standard matrix choices, as well as supporting Canon Log 3/HLG and PQ color spaces. The processor allows you to take advantage of the dual SD card slots for dual recording, relay recording, and multiple simultaneous recording options of your footage in MP4 or XFAVC. Separate F/I/Z controls: Three rings provide professional, individual control over focus, iris, and zoom settings. Eye AF zeroes in on your subject's eye for crisp eye focus.
Frame Recording captures a set number of frames with each press of the trigger. Interval Recording enables you to choose the number of frames recorded and the interval length between them. Thanks to a USB-C video output, you no longer need an HDMI to USB adapter. Use the app to exchange proxy footage, audio, and metadata through your phone connection and a newsroom server and integrate content into assignment planning software. A new multifunction shoe on the XF605 enables you to access up to four inputs on the XLR audio unit, perfect for capturing ambient sound plus one to three speakers.
