The Canon XF405 combines superior ergonomics and portability with a versatile and extensive feature set that makes it making it suitable for a broad range of video applications from weddings and event coverage to documentary and film making. The camcorder is equipped with an 8.29MP 1.0-Inch CMOS sensor that records 4K UHD and Full HD video in MP4 format. A 25.5mm wide-angle lens with 15x optical zoom and built-in image stabilisation works with the camera's Dual Pixel CMOS AF to provide exceptional autofocus performance. Designed to meet the needs of professionals, the XF-405 includes support for 4-channel audio recording, dual XLR inputs, HDMI output, network connectivity, and slow & fast motion recording.

1.0-Inch CMOS Sensor

The 8.29 megapixel 1-inch CMOS image sensor on the Canon XF405 Camcorder captures rich 4K Ultra-High Definition footage. With wider pixels it produces outstanding low noise images even in dimly lit environments and provides a shallower depth of field at large apertures. High signal read-out speed helps minimise rolling shutter for distortion free recording of fast moving objects.

Dual DIGIC DV 6 Image Processors

Canon’s sixth generation state-of-the-art dual DIGIC DV6 processors provide superior performance with low power consumption. They offer the impressive processing power and speed needed for continuous High Frame Rate shooting, 4K UHD footage capture, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, and the camera’s image stabilisation.

Impressive Zoom with Optical Image Stabilisation

The integrated 25.5mm F2.8 wide-angle lens employs a powerful 15x optical zoom that maintains UHD 4K resolution throughout the focal range. With 5-axis Optical Image Stabilisation videographers and run-and-gun shooters can produce more clear and steady footage. For further enhancement, a range of stabilisation modes can be selected for different shooting scenarios.

Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus

The XF405 features Canon’s cutting edge sensor based Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus Technology that combines imaging and phase difference AF to provide a faster, smoother, and more accurate auto focus experience. It ensures reliable tracking and sharp focusing on moving subjects and offers intuitive touch focus that lets you tap an area of the frame to bring it into view.

Continuous AF, Face Detection AF and Dual Pixel Focus Guide

Dual Pixel AF also allows for Continuous autofocus over 80% of the image area and supports a new "AF-Boosted MF" mode for further improvement. The camcorder can focus on people’s faces with highly accurate Face Detection AF, allowing you to concentrate on composing during event coverage. An innovative Dual Pixel Focus Guide acts as a super-imposed graphic interface that lets you achieve quick and accurate manual focus.

Incredible 4K and Full HD Footage

The camera records 4K UHD (3840x2160) at a whopping 150Mbps up to 60p and Full HD at 35Mbps for amazing footage no matter how big or small the project. It can record in the versatile and compact MP4 codec using H.264 Long-GOP compression, giving you longer recording times while still maintaining high image quality.

Wide Dynamic Range

A wide dynamic range of 800% provided by Wide DR Gamma enables you to capture natural and realistic-looking images in almost all conditions. It helps to effectively minimise blown-out highlights to ensure more detail and increased versatility when colour grading.

Slow and Fast Motion Recording

Never short on options, the Canon XF 405 can, of course, record slow and fast motion footage to give your videos a touch of drama or shot of excitement. Shoot slow motion video up to 100 fps and fast motion up to a maximum of 1200x in Full HD, without sacrificing image quality.

Convenient Dual SD Card Slots

With Dual card slots, the XF405 can record simultaneously to two SD cards, providing an instant backup. In relay recording mode, when one SD card is full, the camera will automatically switch to the other for uninterrupted recording. This helps streamline your workflow when filming longer events, like sports games or interviews, decreasing the need to swap memory cards often.

Built-In Versatility

The camera also features built-in 2, 4 and 6 stop ND filters that allow you to compensate for difficult lighting conditions, like shooting outdoors in bright light. Not only does this make it easier to get optimum exposure, it also lets you explore more creative shooting options no matter where you happen to be.

4-Channel Audio Recording

Audio can be recorded by the integrated internal stereo microphone or using an optional external mic connected to either the 3.5mm stereo mic input or through the two XLR terminals. Support for 4 channel 16-bit PCM audio at 48 kHz delivers amazing quality recording and playback. A headphone jack is also included for more accurate monitoring of recorded audio.

HDMI 2.0 with 4K UHD Output

An HDMI 2.0 terminal allows the camera to integrate seamlessly with professional grade hardware, like recorders and monitors, ensuring greater efficiency in your editing and post-production work. It supports time code embedded 4K UHD 60p output with 4:2:0 8 bit colour sampling, or can send FHD 60p 4:2:2 10 bit video.

Touch Panel LCD and Electronic Viewfinder

An adjustable 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen offers easy to see high and low angle shooting, playback, and menu navigation. A 0.24-inch 60° tilting electronic viewfinder provides a traditional camcorder shooting experience with a 100% field of view even in bright light. The LCD monitor and viewfinder each have a 1.56 million-dot resolution for exceptionally sharp detail and accuracy.

Full Manual Control and Customisation

The 4K camcorder offers full manual control over all functions including iris, shutter speed, gain, zoom, focus, and audio. This gives you the ability to adapt to both technical and artistic challenges when shooting. To further customise the settings to suit your specific preferences, five assignable buttons on the body and one on-screen can be configured for frequently used functions.

Connectivity and Remote Camera Operation

Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet LAN connectivity enable fast and convenient file transfer directly from the camcorder via FTP for editing or live streaming. It also features a 3G-SDI terminal for fast, reliable transmission. Operations like record start/stop, AF/MF, focus/zoom settings, and white balance mode can controlled with the included infrared remote.

Compact, Lightweight and Easy-to-Carry Design

The Canon XF405 4K Video Camera has a compact and lightweight design that lets you get around easily, perfect for run-and-gun shooters that need to pack light and stay mobile. Its host of impressive, professional level features combined with its small size make it an ideal option for weddings, electronic news gathering, and film making.
