Image capture starts with optics, and the XA10

camcorder is equipped with a Genuine Canon 10x HD VideoLens z00m lens engineered to assure the highest-quality HD video acquisition. Canon HD video lenses use aspherical elements to achieve low chromatic aberration with high resolu- tion. The XA10 zoom lens provides à versatile range of 30.4 - 304mm (35mm equivalent) and its close-focusing capa- Genuine Canon 1oxHb — bility is maintained at all focal lengths. Video Lens An f/1.8 maximum aperture (at full wide) aids low-light capture, while an 8-blade iris ensures more aesthetically pleasing backgrounds (“bokeh”) when Shooting with shallow depth-of-field. The additional blades also reduce diffraction of light passing through the iris, enabling the use of smaller apertures while maintaining image quality. The lens provides a manual focus ring that can be used at any time, even during AF operation.

Canon Native 1920 x 1080 HD CMOS Image Sensor Engineered and manufactured entirely by Canon for exclusive use in Canon professional camcorders, the newly developed CMOS image sensor employed in the XA10 features native 1920 x 1080 resolution to ensure superb Full HD video cap- ture quality. The sensor has larger individual pixel sites, which significantly improves its light sensitivity and enables the XA10 to capture clear, low-noïse video even in low light. Dynamic range is also improved, providing more detail in highlight and shadow areas with finer rendition of tonal gra- dations. The 1/3-inch sensor size enables a compact lens and body design for greater mobility and shooting versatility.

DIGIC DV Ill Image Processor At the heart of Canon imaging excellence, DIGIC DV Image Processors have progressively elevated cam- corder performance, advancing image quality, camera respon- siveness and power efficiency. The XA10 incorporates the lat- est Canon HD image processor, DIGIC DV III, which takes high definition video to an unprecedented level of quality. Innovative new algorithms and enhanced computational power deliver exceptionally accurate color reproduction with improved noise reduction for outstanding low-light perfor- mance. DIGIC DV Ill is also the high-speed engine that powers a variety of sophisticated features , including Genuine Canon Face Detection.

High Bit Rate AVCHD Recording

The XA10 records using the AVCHD codec, which is popular among video professionals and supported in professional workflows, including most modern NLE (non-linear editing) systems. Capturing Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution with a maximum bit-rate of 24Mbps and 4:2:0 color depth, the XA10 ensures sharp, vivid, professional-quality image capture. Since AVCHD uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video coding, the XA10 is ideal for capturing content to be delivered via Blu-Ray disks or the Web. The XA10 also takes full advantage of the AVCHD

standard’s AC-3 audio coding, capturing high-quality stereo and, with the optional SM-V1 microphone, even 5.1-channel (Dolby Digital) surround sound.

Flash Memory Recording

A 64GB internal flash drive and dual SDXC-compatible memo- ry card slots provide versatile, high-capacity recording options. Extended length continuous capture is possible with the Relay Recording function, which automatically begins writ- ing to the next available memory card (internal to slot A to slot B) when the current medium is filled. No frames are lost at changeovers. The two slots can also be used for simultaneous recording, which provides on-the-fly backups.

SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer System

The Canon XA10 features a sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) system featuring Dynamic and Powered modes for optimal performance in the greatest variety of situ- ations. Powered mode suppresses the types of vibrations most prevalent when shooting telephoto, while Dynamic mode is designed to provide extra compensation at wide angle focal lengths to eliminate vibration common when walk- ing and shooting. Powered IS can be activated on demand via a dedicated button.

The XA10 includes an infrared shooting mode, which makes it possible to capture images in little to no visible light. When this mode is selected, the IR cutoff filter is removed from the optical path, allowing infrared light to pass through to the sensor. À built-in infrared emitter enables image capture even in complete darkness.

Professional Shooting Features

Numerous shooting assist functions enable professionals to acquire the best possible video footage. An enhanced zebra pattern provides precise exposure control. Focus assist func- tions, including 2x image enlargement during manual focus- ing, color peaking and edge monitor, help insure critical image sharpness. SMPTE-compliant color bars, with or with- out test tone, can be generated and recorded. For more natu- ral-looking dark scenes, the user can set an automatic gain control (AGC) limit. The XA10 even includes a waveform moni- tor function that can be used to analyze video signals on the camera’s LCD. Full manual control capability gives profession al videographers total command over camera functions in any shooting situation.

Professional balanced audio inputs can be switched for MIC or LINE sen- sitivity. 48V phantom power is avail- able and can be activated as needed depending on the microphones. Recording levels can be adjusted manually and independently for the two channels. À 20dB attenuator is also available for signals input to the XLR connectors.

With a large-format Canon CMOS imaging sensor — larger than a single frame of cinema-format 35mm film — and using the range of superb Canon EF and EF-S lenses, the EOS 7D produces HD video with exquisite depth-of- field characteristics, remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions and deep, noise-less blacks.

Frame Rates and Recording Options The EOS 7D makes available a wide range of frame rates and video formats: For Full HD (1920 x 1080), the available frame rates are 30 (29.970) fps for NTSC, 25 fps for PAL, and 24 (23.976) fps for cinematog- raphy, for up to 4GB per clip. For Standard HD (1280 x 720), the available frame rates are 60 (59.940) fps for NTSC and 50 fps for PAL. For SD (VGA — 640 x 480), the available frame rates are 60 (59.940) fps for NTSC and 50 fps for PAL. Video is captured with progressive scan- ning and recorded in the MOV format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video, uncompressed linear PCM audio) using a variable bit rate. All video formants, including Full HD Video, can be viewed on an HDTV via the HDMI output. ff

Manual Exposure Control The more control the photographer or filmmaker has over the technical aspects of a shoot, the more refined the

final product. The EOS 7D offers completely flexible exposure control for its movie modes, allowing for complete creative control. Exposure can be determined and set even in complex lighting situations, maintaining the same look and feel through an entire scene, and minimizing the internal cam- era noise that can occur when the aperture changes due to exposure adjustment mid-clip.

OPTICAL The latest Canon SuperRange IMAGE STABILIZER Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system employs sophisticated image analysis techniques to ensure the most effective correction for camera shake and jitter. Its Standard mode controls the lens shift to pro- vide constant compensation throughout the z00m range. The new Powered mode improves vibration suppression at telephoto focal lengths, where camera shake is magnified. The new Dynamic mode is specifically designed to stabilize the image when walking and shooting handheld. It adds up to more free- dom for camera operators in more situations.

Compact Flash Card Recording

The XF Series camcorders record on currently available, nonproprietary, and inexpensive CF cards. Besides their rugged, solid-state con- struction and the speed and ease with which files can betransferred à

to computers, CF cards represent a significant Savings in cost. Al XF Series cameras F have two hot- swappable CF card slots, pro- viding options for relay record- ing, copying and backup.

UMA Advanced Features

The XF Series features a number of functions designed specifically to make complicated shoots easier. Often found as part of expensive external units, XF Series include a versatile waveform monitor. It provides an objective and detailed analysis of overall image brightness and RGB components, enabling the videogra- pher to determine correct exposure with great precision. The XF305 and XF300 additionally incorporate a vectorscope, which analyzes image hue and saturation in real time, making it possible to achieve accurate white balance and make color balance changes on the fly.

Recording Modes and Frame Rates No matter the prescribed workflow, the XF Series can capture video at just the right reso- lution, speed and bit rate. These cameras shoot MPEG-2 4:2:2 files at 50Mbps (Constant Bit Rate), 35Mbps (Variable Bit Rate), for even longer shooting times and 25Mbps (Constant Bit Rate) for compatibility with HDV content. In addition to shooting in Full HD mode, 720p mode is available at speeds up to 60 frames per second for capturing sports and action. For PAL compatible shooting, an optional upgrade for 50i and 25p recording is available through the Canon Factory Service Center.

For shoots when the action stops and starts, the XF Series have à Pre-Record feature.

Recording Modes Frame Rate

With Pre-Record activated, the camcorder con- stantly buffers approximately three seconds of video into its memory. When the record button is pressed, recording begins immediately and the content of the camera’s buffer memory is added, ensuring that no important or unexpect- ed action is missed.

The Slow and Fast Motion mode allows the XF Series to record a different frame rate than the playback frame rate resulting in either à fast or slow motion effect during playback. Since the camera is recording real frames and modifying the playback rate, there is no quality loss due to interpolation and maximum image quality is maintained. In 1080p mode, fast motion is supported up to 2.5x the normal rate and as slow as 1/2.5x. In 720p mode, fast motion is supported up to 5x the normal rate and as slow as 1/1.25x.

For time-lapse applications, the XF Series has an Interval Recording mode that can be programmed to shoot a specified number of frames at pre-defined intervals without opera- torintervention. For stop-frame animation, the XF Series feature a frame record function, which captures a specified number of frames each time the camera is triggered.

With extensive custom settings, the XF Series camcorders enable the professional user to control and customize every facet of shooting. A vast range of image quality, control and dis-

play options ensure camera operation that is

intuitive, speedy and comfortable, no matter

the style of the shooter.

Enhanced Autofocus System

The XF Series camcorders incorporate advanced Canon AF technology. The XF105 and XF100 have five AF modes. High Speed AF

uses both the TIL-Video Signal Detection System and the External Sensor. Normal AF uses only the TIL-Video Signal Detection System. Medium AF provides smoother focus- ing operations in situations where the fastest AF response may, in fact, be undesirable. Face AF detects faces in a scene and uses them to track focus. The operator can select which face to track. Tracking can also be set to Face Only AF, which locks focus at a subject's last known position before moving off-frame. Face- detection tracking has been improved to maintain focus even when the face is in pro- file. The XF305 and XF300 provide three AF modes: High, Medium and Normal.

4.0-inch LCD Monitor, High Resolution EVF and Advanced Focusing Features (XF305 and XF300 only)

The XF305 and XF300 feature a bright and sharp 1,230,000-dot 4.0-inch LCD monitor with approximately 100% field of view cover- age. The LCD flips both ways for viewing from the left or right side of the camera and has an extra 35 degrees of movement for increased operability, even in tight situations. The XF305 and XF300 also provide a 0.52-inch, 1,555,000-dot color electronic viewfinder VF), a breakthrough in critical focusing. Two peaking modes and a magnification mode are available in standby and record mode, making it extremely easy for the camera operator to check and confirm critical focus. In addition, Canon’s exclusive Edge Monitor Focus Assist system displays a red and green waveform monitor at the bottom of the LCD monitor and three red focus check areas across the moni- tor. The green waveform shows overall focus while the red waveform shows the status of

each focus check box. With this dynamic focus feedback, the user can quickly tune focus in à specific area, and move between focus points in a scene with a vastly greater level of accura- cy and speed.

8-Blade Iris (XF105 and XF100 only) Compared to typical 6-blade designs, the 8-blade iris allows for smoother, more pleasing out-of-focus areas (“bokeh”), such as back- grounds in scenes with shallow depth-of-field. This is a decided advantage when shooting for artistic effect. The additional blades also reduce diffraction of light passing through the iris, enabling the use of smaller apertures while maintaining image quality.

Infrared Shooting Capability

(XF105 and XF100 only)

The XF105 and XF100 feature an infrared shooting mode that enables image recording in little to no ambient (visible) light. In IR mode, the cutoff filter is removed from the optical path, allowing infrared light to pass through to the sensor. A built-in infrared emit- ter with diffuser enables the capture of dra- matic imagery even in complete darkness.

3D Shooting Assist (XF105 and XF100 only) XF105 and XF100 camcorders can be paired to enable true stereoscopic 3D image recording. Built-in features that aid optical alignment of the cameras, display relative zoom position, and enable zoom distance calibration make the XF105 and XF100 camcorders excellent choices for 3D production. The XF105 also fea- tures 3D-capable genlock for camcorder syn- chronization. The compact size of the XF105 and XF100 cameras can be a huge advantage, providing a more man- ageable alternative to large 3D rigs.

Shooting HD Video wi

h Canon EOS Digital SLRs

Unique Video FULL HD With the introduction of Canon ET EOS digital SLRs capable of Full HD video capture, professional photogra- phers, videographers and cinematographers have at hand an important imaging tool. By shooting video with a large sensor camera, the professional user can take advantage of the image quality and characteristics intrinsic to SLR photography. The extensive range of ISO sensitivities and flexible exposure control makes it possible to precisely achieve the desired visual effect, profoundly affecting the mood of a scene. Exposure can be determined and set even in complex lighting situations, maintaining the same look and feel through- out an entire scene, not just the initial shot. Shooting HD video with EOS digital SLRs allows the photographer to choose from the entire range of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including wide angle, macro, tilt-shift and fish-eye, providing a wealth of creative shoot- ing options once reserved only for still photog- raphy. The resulting HD video is unique in its incomparable depth-of-field characteristics, remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions and deep clean blacks with undetectable noise.

Proprietary Canon CMOS sensors not only deliver spectacular still images but also make it possible to shoot Full HD video of extraordi- nary quality, achieving a look that many film-

Ful-Frame CMOS Sensor (EOS 5D Mark 1)

makers and directors have likened to shooting with professional big-screen cinematographic cameras. The large CMOS sensors in Canon EOS DSLRs, combined with the incredible range of Canon EF lenses available to the photogra- pher/videographer, provide a look and per- spective impossible to achieve with traditional video cameras. Large sensors also capture more light and can record at high ISO sensitiv- ities with less digital gain and reduced noise. This enables the capture of high-quality foot- age in low-light situations that would previ- ously have been considered impossible with- out artificial light.

When shooting a video on an EOS DSLR, it is possible to attain much shallower depths of field than previously possible with expensive traditional large-film motion-picture cameras. The physical size of EOS DSLR CMOS sensors, combined with the large maximum apertures provided by Canon lenses, allows the cinema- tographer to reach unprecedented creative

depth-of-field control. If a large aperture is chosen, thus creating shallow depth-of-field, evocative, dramatic moving images with blurred backgrounds can be attained with ease, something simply not possible with smaller sensors or compact cameras. If every- thing must be in focus, shooting with a small aperture helps ensure all-encompassing depth-of-field, ideal for illustrative land- scapes, architecture and any other scenic sit- uation where all details must be recorded. The drama, beauty and mood achievable by con- trolling à moving image’s perspective and depth-of-field cannot be overstated — and an EOS DSLR provides a degree and ease of such control unprecedented among conventional video cameras.

Comprehensive Choice of Frame Rates Whether for still or motion capture, Canon sets high standards for both image quality and professional versatility. EOS HD video supports a wide range of frame rates, enabling photog- raphers to tailor their imagery to specific needs and markets. Video is progressively captured and then recorded using the H.264

video codec with uncompressed linear PCM audio. The use of the H.264 codec ensures high image quality while keeping file sizes to a minimum.

Advanced Exposure Control

When shooting HD video, EOS digital SLRs employ center-weighted average metering (using the imaging sensor) to ensure stable motion picture exposure. IFthe AF mode is set to Face Detection Live View, the camera will use Evaluative metering linked to the AF point corresponding to the face to calculate expo- sure. As with still shooting, AE lock and expo- sure compensation are available for video. Full manual exposure control can also be used when shooting video. ISO speed can be set automatically or manually, and shutter speeds can set manually over a wide range. Available aperture settings are specific to the lens used.

Outstanding Image Control

Many ofthe refined image control and enhancement features available for still shoot- ing with EOS digital SLRs can also be used dur- ing video capture. For example, white balance settings and saved Picture Styles can be used in video mode, giving the photographer a tre- mendous range of control over camera

options. Picture Styles are particularly useful because they can be created or modified using Canon Picture Style Editor software. In addi- tion, both the Highlight Tone Priority and Auto Lighting Optimizer features can be used while shooting video to ensure superb image quality even in difficult lighting conditions.

Sound Recording Options

When shooting video with an EOS digital SLR, monaural sound can be recorded via built-in microphone. Stereo recording is possible with an external stereo microphone connected to the camera’s mic input connector (a standard 3.5mm stereo jack). Audio levels are automati- cally adjusted whether record- ing with the built- in or an external microphone. With select EOS mod- els, audio levels can also be set
