Highlights of the XF200 / XF205
The Canon HD Camcorder XF200 / XF205 is a compact-sized and highly portable camcorder that offers
superior video quality. The camcorder features a 1/2.84-type CMOS sensor and allows you to record in two
formats (MXF on CF cards or MP4 on SD cards). The following are some of the many features that will help you
turn your creative vision into reality.
HD Recording
1/2.84-type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 4 image
processor
The HD CMOS PRO sensor can capture video at an
effective pixel count of 2,910,000 pixels. Combined
with the advanced DIGIC DV 4 image processor and
the 20x wide-angle lens, it can deliver a center
resolution of 900 TV lines. Furthermore, thanks to
Canon’s high-sensitivity and noise reduction
technologies, you can get excellent video quality
with minimal noise even when recording in low-light
situations.
MXF and MP4 formats
You can choose the movie format according to your
workflow needs. You can record in MXF format
using the MPEG-2 Long GOP codec, in MP4 format
using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, or in both
formats simultaneously. MXF clips are recorded as
Material eXchange Format (MXF files), compatible
with all major non-linear (NLE) editing software.
Flexible video and audio configuration
For MXF clips, the camcorder offers 3 resolution
sizes (1920x1080, 1440x1080 or 1280x720), 3
frame rate options and 3 bit rate options for a total
of 11 video configurations (A 55). Audio is
recorded as linear PCM audio using 2 or 4 channels
(A 96).
For MP4 clips, the camcorder offers 3 resolution
sizes (1920x1080, 1280x720 or 640x360), 2 frame
rate options and 5 bit rate options for a total of 5
possible video configurations (A 55).
Operability and Adaptability
Freely customizable compact design
The camcorder offers maximum operability for a
single camera operator. It features 3 separate rings
for independent focus, zoom and iris operation. The
camcorder’s side grip can be easily adjusted up to
120 degrees to let you use whatever camera angle
you need (A 35). Additionally, gain, shutter and iris
controls can be adjusted manually or automatically
giving you the freedom to decide to what extent you
want to control every aspect of the image.
Improved displays
The camcorder features an 8.8 cm (3.5 in.) OLED
display (equivalent to 1,230,000 dots) that excels in
color reproduction, contrast and responsiveness
and is easy to use even in bright outdoors. The
viewfinder, on the other hand, offers a high-
resolution LCD screen (also equivalent to 1,230,000
dots) with a wide angle of view of approx. 28.2°. The
viewfinder can be tilted 68° vertically to ensure a
comfortable fit in various shooting conditions.
Recording media
The camcorder records MXF clips to CF cards and
MP4 clips to SD cards. It features two CF card slots
that you can use to record continuously, one after
the other, using relay recording (A 42), or
simultaneously using double slot recording (A 42).
You can even record MP4 clips to the SD card while
recording an MXF clip on one or both CF cards
(A 121).
Work with major NLE software
The Canon XF Utility software and various XF
plugins are available as free downloads from your
local Canon Web site. Canon XF Utility allows you
to easily save, manage and play back your MXF
clips, while the XF plugins let you smoothly link them
to major NLE software* to continue your editing
workflow. For details, refer to
Saving MXF Clips
(A 166).
The supplied software Data Import Utility allows
you to save MP4 clips to a computer and even join
split MP4 files into a single file for editing. For details,
refer to
Saving MP4 Clips
(A 168).
*Refer to
Saving Clips to a Computer
(A 166) for details
on compatible software.
Pro-level remote operation
The camcorder can be used with the optional
RC-V100 Remote Controller for remote operation of
many advanced functions, including iris, gain and
even custom picture settings.
