The XF605 Professional Camcorder is the next-generation XF-series camera providing excellent mobility, connectivity, and superb 4K UHD HDR image quality. Equipped with Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the XF605 achieves high-speed and high-accuracy focusing, and is the first XF-series model to include Eye Detection AF, as well as iTR AF X head detection algorithm that improves face and head detection for more accurate and stable tracking of subjects.

The XF605 features a 4K L-series 15x Optical Zoom lens with 3-ring manual control. XF605 can shoot 10-bit 4:2:2 4K UHD footage in XF-AVC (Intra-frame and Long GOP) and MP4 formats to dual SD cards for easy post-production and quick delivery. It features multiple recording modes including Frame, Interval, and Slow and Fast motion up to 120fps in FHD.

An ideal tool for news gathering, XF605 features a new CTM (Content Transfer Mobile) iPhone application which allows for proxy footage, audio, and metadata to be exchanged with a newsroom server through the phone connection in the field and integrates into newsroom assignment planning software.

For remote control of key camera features, Canon’s XC Protocol, an IP-based protocol that remotely controls camera settings, is now available in the XF605. XC Protocol enables remote control of the camera’s focus, auto focus, iris, shutter, ISO/gain, the recall of custom picture settings and other important camera settings. XC Protocol makes remote control possible through IP network-connected devices such as the Canon RC-IP100 controller or other IP-enabled 3rd-party camera controllers.

The XF605 features a Multi-Function Shoe that is compatible with a new XLR microphone adapter (developed by TEAC Corporation) for increasing the total number of XLR inputs to 4, providing a flexible audio recording workflow.

The camera features built-in Wi-Fi/Ethernet for Browser Remote, CTM (Content Transfer Mobile) app, IP streaming, and FTP transfer. The camera is also the first XF-series camera to feature USB Video Class allowing use as a webcam without the need for a 3rd Party HDMI to USB adapter.
