Featuring a L (Luxury) Series 15x optical zoom lens (35 mm film equivalent: 25.5 mm–382.5 mm) fit for 4K imaging, a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor and a Dual DIGIC DV 6 image-processing platform, the XF705 enables users to capture high-quality 4K/60p/4:2:2/10-bit video. In addition, users can freely choose between two HDR formats—Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), ideal for such scenarios as broadcasting and live video transmission and Perceptual Quantization (PQ), which is well-suited to uses including web transmission and film production.

What’s more, the camcorder features Canon’s newly developed XF-HEVC video format that enables users to record HDR¹ video to highly versatile SD cards while delivering both a high compression ratio and high video quality. By delivering smaller file sizes, the XF705 makes possible more efficient workflows across various stages of the production process, from shooting to editing.

Even when shooting 4K video, which demands acute focusing precision, the camcorder achieves highly accurate focusing through intuitive touch-panel operations, thanks to Dual Pixel CMOS AF² technology that offers smooth autofocus operation with high tracking capabilities ideal for shooting video. What’s more, the XF705 meets a wide range of professional demands, realizing high operability that provides strong support in a variety of video production scenarios with the addition of such design elements as independent operation rings for focus, zoom and iris and a shoulder pad that facilitates steady shooting.
