Canon XF605 Professional 4K UHD HDR Camcorder

Broadcast-Quality Performance with Outstanding Mobility

The Canon XF605 is a compact professional camcorder built for electronic news gathering, sports, live events, documentary production, houses of worship, education, and corporate video. Its 1-inch CMOS sensor, DIGIC DV 7 processor, 15x L-series zoom lens, advanced autofocus, and extensive connectivity deliver dependable broadcast-quality results without the complexity of an interchangeable-lens system.

The XF605 records 4K/60p 4:2:2 10-bit video internally and supports Canon Log 3, HLG, PQ, Wide DR, professional audio, 12G-SDI, HDMI, timecode, genlock, IP streaming, and network file transfer.

✨ 1-Inch 4K CMOS Sensor

The XF605’s 1-inch CMOS sensor captures native 4K UHD imagery with approximately 8.29 effective megapixels. Its relatively large photosites provide strong low-light performance, reduced noise, and greater depth-of-field control compared with smaller-sensor camcorders.

Canon’s DIGIC DV 7 processor supports high-speed image processing, advanced autofocus, HDR, proxy recording, and multiple simultaneous recording options.

🎬 4K/60p 4:2:2 10-Bit Recording

The XF605 records detailed 4K UHD video at up to 59.94p with 4:2:2 color sampling and 10-bit depth. This preserves rich color and tonal information for broadcast delivery, post-production, chroma keying, and color correction.

Recording options include:

• XF-AVC Intra-frame and Long GOP

• MP4 H.264

• MP4 H.265/HEVC

• High-quality and space-efficient bitrates

• Proxy recording

• Full HD slow motion at up to 120 fps

• Frame and interval recording

🔭 Canon 15x L-Series Zoom Lens

The built-in 15x L-series lens covers approximately 25.5–382.5mm in 35mm-equivalent terms. Its broad range handles wide establishing shots, interviews, presentations, ceremonies, sports, and distant subjects without requiring a lens change.

Three independent control rings provide direct manual adjustment of focus, zoom, and iris. The F2.8–4.5 maximum aperture and nine-blade iris produce natural out-of-focus rendering, while the 58mm filter thread accepts compatible filters and lens accessories.

In Full HD, Advanced Zoom extends the available reach to approximately 30x while using information from the 4K sensor to maintain image quality.

🎯 Advanced Subject Tracking

Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides smooth, accurate focus across a broad portion of the image. Eye Detection AF prioritizes a subject’s eye, while EOS iTR AF X uses head-detection technology to continue tracking when the person turns away from the camera.

Face Detection, Face Tracking, and customizable autofocus response settings support changing production requirements. The Dual Pixel Focus Guide provides front- and back-focus guidance for precise manual focusing.

🖐️ Five-Axis Image Stabilization

The XF605 combines optical lens-shift stabilization with electronic correction. Three stabilization modes are available:

• Standard IS for general handheld recording

• Dynamic IS for wider-angle shooting while walking

• Powered IS for fixed-position telephoto recording

🌤️ Built-In ND Filter System

An internal turret provides three selectable neutral-density filters:

• ND 1/4

• ND 1/16

• ND 1/64

Dedicated exterior controls allow the operator to manage exposure quickly while maintaining the preferred aperture and shutter speed.

🎨 Canon Log 3 and HDR

Canon Log 3 preserves a wide tonal range for color grading and matching with compatible Cinema EOS cameras. The camera also supports imported .cube 3D LUTs for monitoring or applying a custom look during recording.

HLG and PQ provide HDR production options, while Wide DR Gamma delivers expanded highlight and shadow detail with a finished appearance that requires little or no grading.

💾 Flexible Dual-Card Recording

Dual SD card slots support several professional workflows:

• Simultaneous backup recording

• Relay recording for extended sessions

• Recording different formats or resolutions to each card

• Main-file and proxy recording

• Separating XF-AVC and MP4 files

🎙️ Professional Four-Channel Audio

The XF605 supports four-channel linear PCM audio through two built-in XLR inputs, a 3.5mm microphone input, and the internal stereo microphone. Each channel provides independent level and input controls.

The Multi-Function Shoe supports compatible digital audio accessories, including an optional adapter that adds two additional XLR inputs.

🔌 Broadcast Connectivity

Professional connections include:

• 12G-SDI output

• HDMI output

• Genlock and Sync Out

• SMPTE timecode input and output

• USB-C and USB-A

• Ethernet

• Remote A and Remote B

• Headphone and microphone connections

The 12G-SDI output can carry 4K/60p video through a single cable, simplifying connection to broadcast monitors, switchers, recorders, and transmission systems.

🌐 Network and Streaming Features

Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet support Browser Remote, FTP file transfer, background transfer, and live IP streaming. SRT support provides secure, low-latency streaming for compatible workflows.

The Canon Multi-Camera Control app and Canon XC Protocol allow compatible devices and controllers to operate recording, focus, zoom, iris, white balance, ND filters, and other camera functions remotely.

USB Video Class support also allows the XF605 to function as a webcam with compatible computers.
