Newly developed 15x 4K zoom lens
The XF405 features a new 4K 15x zoom lens which has been designed to support the large 1.0-Type CMOS sensor. The lens is slim and compact, yet exceptionally powerful and flexible. With improved 25.5mm wide-angle coverage and a zoom capable of up to 382.5mm (35mm equivalent), it can cover a range of shooting situations and this performance is further enhanced by supplied wide-angle and teleConverter lenses to increase focal length coverage even further without sacrificing 4K quality. Using the CMOS sensor in FHD, it possible to get even more from the lens, up to 30x zoom capability with no loss of image quality.
Newly developed 4K 1.0-Type CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF
The XF405 has a new 1.0-Inch Type CMOS Sensor which delivers incredible levels of detail even in low light. The advantage of a larger sensor means a greater depth-of-field performance, allowing creative filming making full use of focus blur or bokeh’ for more realistic, immersive footage. The CMOS sensor technology has been perfected in Canon’s EOS DSLRs and Cinema EOS cameras and for the first time it is now available in a camcorder of this size.
Newly developed Dual DIGIC DV6
Featuring two high speed DiGIC DV 6 processors, newly developed for the XF405, the camcorder offers blistering performance. The outstanding processing capability provided by two DIGIC DV 6 processors, newly developed for the XF405, provides enhanced image reproduction such as smooth gradation and faithful colour reproduction with support for recording at higher data rates. The sensor and processor work together to eliminate more camera shake, augmenting a highly effective Optical IS system.
