Software for aiding the production workflow The Canon XF Utility software and various XF plugins are available as free downloads from your local Canon Web site. Canon XF Utility allows you to easily save, manage and play back your XF-AVC clips, while the XF plugins let you smoothly link them to major NLE software* to continue your editing 4 workflow. For details, refer to Saving XF-AVC Clips (A 115). The Data Import Utility software allows you to save MP4 clips to a computer and even join split MP4 files into a single file for editing. For details, refer to Saving MP4 Clips (A 115). * Refer to Working with Clips on a Computer (A 115) for details on compatible software. Creativity and Artistic Expression Special recording modes (A 50, 91) When you make recordings, you can change the recording frame rate to achieve a fast or slow motion effect. Alternatively, you can use pre-recording to record 3 seconds before you decide to start recording, helping you capture those hard-to-catch opportunities. Looks (A 77) You can adjust various aspects of the picture, such as the color depth, sharpness and brightness, to create a desired "look". If you prefer, you can use one of the preset looks offered. The [Wide DR] look, for example, applies a gamma curve with a very wide dynamic range and an appropriate color matrix. Other Features • Battery packs compatible with Intelligent System give you an estimate (in minutes) of the remaining recording time. • Compatibility with the optional GP-E2 GPS Receiver to geotag your recordings (A 94). • Multiple image stabilization options (A 64) to match your recording conditions. • Compatibility with the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller (A 93) when you need a professional level of remote control far surpassing that of the supplied wireless controller. • Clear, adjustable LCD panel (A 24) and adjustable viewfinder (A 24) for ease of use regardless of the recording angle.
