Canon XF - 300

Features

Design and Ergonomics

Weighing 2700g without battery and with dimensions of 180 x 192 x 394 mm the Canon XF 300 features a 4" wide LCD display, providing 1.23  pixels resolution viewing clarity.

10.1 cm LCD and 1.3 cm EVF

The 10.1 cm (4”) LCD screen can be positioned either side of the camera. Offering superior resolution (1.2M dots), the Focus Assist tool helps achieve sharp images. A built-in Waveform Monitor (WFM) helps verify exposure and other shooting parameters. Alternatively, a 1.3 cm (0.52”) Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is available.

Flexible editing

Integrating seamlessly with existing workflows, movies shot on the XF300 are captured as industry-standard MXF files compatible with all major editing packages..

Lens and Audio-visual Quality

The lens features a 18x optical zoom as well as a Digital Zoom of 1.5X.

Capturing high definition footage of 1920x1080 megapixel resolution and photos of 1920x1080 megapixel resolution, the Canon XF 300 features a  16-bit 2ch (48 kHz) linear PCM audio format and features manual exposure adjustment and manual focus.

18x wide-angle lens

Drawing on Canon’s broadcast lens expertise – and informed by the feedback of professionals – the lightweight 18x L-series HD Video Lens delivers superb optical quality. Unique Ultra-Low Dispersion (Hi-UD) elements are used to prevent chromatic aberration. Separate rings offer independent control of Focus, Zoom and Iris (F1.6) – with full manual control available, end stops are provided for the focus and zoom rings.

Independent audio

Audio can be captured via twin XLR inputs and also with the front-mounted stereo microphone.

Recording System Features

This camera records in high definition to Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick Duo HG cards (the same cards used widely in digital stills cameras) which means users store their video footage onto small, interchangeable and reusable media. Recording direct to memory cards means there are no moving parts in the recording section, which means that the video camera is exceptionally resistant to impact and tough conditions and the use of memory card recording media is in part responsible for the ultra compact build achievable with flash memory video cameras. 

Technology Features

Capture high quality HD to CF cards

The XF300 records MPEG-2 MXF (Media eXchange Format) files – up to 1920 x 1080 Full HD at 50Mbps (4:2:2) – to CompactFlash (CF) memory cards. CF media is inexpensive and widely available: dual card slots allow filming to continue without interruption.

Flexible editing

Integrating seamlessly with existing workflows, movies shot on the XF300 are captured as industry-standard MXF files compatible with all major editing packages.

3x Full HD CMOS

Full HD at 1920 x 1080 resolution is captured via three 1/3 type 2.07 Megapixel Full HD CMOS sensors – designed and manufactured by Canon in-house. High speed scanning minimises the effects of a rolling shutter.

A wide range of frame rates is available, from 12 to 50 fps. This gives cameramen the freedom to alter the capture rate for additional creative flexibility.

Independent audio
