Equipped with Wide DR Gamma (600%) Mode and Refined, 8-bladed Circular Aperture ----------------------------------------------------------------- The XF200 professional camcorder's wide Dynamic Range Gamma of 600% helps prevent overexposure, even for high brightness areas of an image and/or with non-uniform colors. Unlike the normal knee function that compresses video signals in high brightness areas using linear gamma, a wide DR Gamma retains continuity across the image and enables color grading. And an eight-blade Circular Aperture designed using EF lens technology provides natural and nearly circular out-of-focus areas for enhanced bokeh, for example, during shoots of nighttime skylines. Infrared, High-sensitivity Shooting Function with Enhanced Exposure Performance ----------------------------------------------------------------- For investigative reporting, surveillance and similar projects, the XF200 professional camcorder's infrared mode produces video images that are evenly illuminated from the center to each edge of the picture area. An improved, diffused LED is approximately three times brighter than the infrared light used on previous Canon XF models, providing greater usable distance range in dark shooting conditions. Users can choose between Green and White IR modes according to personal preference. To prevent configuration or operating errors, the camera automatically turns off the IR LED when the user switches from infrared to normal video mode. MXF and MP4 Dual Codec -------------------------------- Dual Codec offers format choices that can be useful for various post-capture options. The DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor and multiple memory card slots enable simultaneous in high bit-rate MXF format and web-ready MP4 format at a variety of bit rates to suit the task at hand. MXF mode supports broadcast-ready Full HD 50 Mbps MPEG-2 shooting with 4:2:2 color sampling for high-quality chroma key compositing as well as 1440 x 1080 4:2:0 capture at 35 Mbps for specific applications. MP4 format supports 1080/60p at 35 Mbps for high definition capture of fast moving subjects, as well as reduced resolutions down to 640 x 360 at 1.5 or 3 Mbps for instant news reporting even when bandwidth is restricted. 35 Mbps 1440x1080 Supported for Broadcast Usage (MXF) --------------------------------------------------------------- For enhanced flexibility, the XF200 professional camcorder supports MXF-format at a variety of data rates, including broadcast-friendly 1440 x 1080/60i video up to 35 Mbps. Images at 60i are remarkably clear, with reduced artifacts, even when scenes contain a lot of movement. The XF200 offers several creative modes and flexible frame rates, including Interval mode, which can be programmed to shoot a specified number of video frames at pre-defined intervals for interesting time-lapse shoots, and Frame Record function, which captures a specified number of video frames each time RECORD mode is initiated during stop-frame animation projects. Types and specifications of dual : Three Memory Card Slots ----------------------- MXF files can be recorded onto the user's choice of one or two CF cards, while MP4 files (both still images and video data) are recorded independently to the SD card to support various workflows. The CF card slots can be configured for either dual-slot or relay of MXF files. And to help ensure trouble-free back-ups, MP4 can be carried out simultaneously with dual-slot MXF . 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Dual-frequency Built-in Wi-Fi Capability ---------------------------------------------------------- Several network-enabled Ethernet functions, including browser control, browser preview and FTP transfers, can be implemented via the XF200 professional camcorder's built-in Wi-Fi links that operate at both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz. Wi-Fi enables remote control and viewing during crane-ed shoots, for example. Wi-Fi technology enables FTP file transfer to Cloud-based servers for convenient back-ups, or for situations where a relay station, such as a news truck, is not available, while the dual bands help ensure that the camcorders can send signals even in areas with increased signal interference. It is also possible for the camcorder to connect to compatible networks, wireless hotspots and iOS mobile devices using the free Canon Movie Uploader app*, or play back video on the camcorders' memory cards to Wi-Fi-enabled TVs and computers.
