Professional Functions and Flexibility Network functions Connect the camcorder to a Wi-Fi or wired (Ethernet) network to enjoy various network functions2. You can, for example, use a Wi-Fi capable mobile device to control the camcorder remotely with the Browser Remote application 4 (A 164), stream live transmissions or breaking images via IP (A 175) and transfer recordings from an SD card to a remote server using the FTP protocol (A 178). 2 Available functions depend on the network connection used. Software for aiding production workflow Canon XF Utility (A 153) lets you copy XF-HEVC or XF-AVC clips you recorded from an SD card to a computer, play back the clips and organize them. You can also use the Canon XF plugins to work with the clips directly from non-linear editing (NLE) software made by Avid. Additionally, MP4 Join Tool (A 153) is a small application that lets you join MP4 clips that were split into multiple files. Pro-level connectivity The camcorder is equipped with an SDI terminal compliant with the 12G-SDI standard that provides a greater bandwith and supports 4K video output at 59.94P or 50.00P frame rate. Meanwhile, the TIME CODE terminal and G-LOCK/SYNC terminal offer many synchronization options (A 94), allowing the camcorder to be part of any multi-camera shooting setup. Infrared recording Record in darkness using infrared recording (A 117). With the built-in infrared light, you can record nocturnal animals in their natural environment or other such scenes. Enhanced Focusing Options Dual Pixel CMOS AF The camcorder features Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology for improved autofocus functions (A 76). In addition to continuous AF, AF-boosted MF lets you focus manually most of the way and let the camcorder finish focusing automatically. With AF-boosted MF the camcorder does not perform unreliable focus adjustments, resulting in a more stable focusing operation than with continuous AF. The camcorder can also focus automatically on people's faces and track moving subjects while keeping them in focus (A 81). Dual Pixel Focus Guide (A 77) The focus guide serves as a visual, intuitive guide that you can use to check if the image is in focus and the required adjustment, if it is not. This can be very helpful to ensure you always get amazingly sharp 4K video. Other improved features • Direct setting mode (A 54) Change main camcorder functions while checking the image on the screen using only the joystick. • Assistance functions You can use assistance functions such as peaking and magnification (A 78), onscreen markers (A 87), zebra patterns (A 88), B&W image (A 30) and a waveform monitor (A 107) on the screen and viewfinder. You can also display them on an external monitor connected to the SDI terminal or HDMI OUT terminal3. Additionally, when using a logarithmic gamma curve, you can also apply a LUT (A 149) for easier monitoring. 3 Available assistance functions depend on the screen/video output used. • Customizable onscreen displays (A 44). • Menu settings file that can be saved in the camcorder or on an SD card to restore all the menu settings or replicate them on another XF705 camcorder (A 131). • Battery packs compatible with Intelligent System for better remaining usage time information. • INPUT terminals (XLR) compatible with analog or digital (AES/EBU) audio and +48 V phantom power supply (A 100). • Improved clip name format with more information for easier identification and organization of clips (A 48). • Metadata (A 110) and geotagging (A 112). • Color bars and test tone output and recording (A 106). • Advanced remote operation using the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller (A 39).
