Specification Sheet

Connectivity
Aside from providing the professional user with complete control over the image,
the Canon XF300 Professional Camcorder also provides complete creative freedom
when it comes to inputs and outputs including:
HDMI Output
Component Video Output
Composite Video Output (BNC and 3.5mm)
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Terminal
Remote Control Terminal (compatible with LANC protocol)
Additional Features
Waveform Monitor and Vectorscope
Videographers depend on these features to confirm accurate
exposure and color levels during the capture process. Typically only
found on expensive external units, the Canon XF300 Professional
Camcorder has a waveform monitor and vectorscope built right into
the camera. The waveform monitor shows a detailed view of overall
image brightness and RGB components. The onboard vectorscope
provides real-time image hue and saturation analysis, making it
easy to check color balance and see the result of white balance adjustments.
Intelligent Battery System
The XF300 Professional Camcorder is compatible with Canon’s new BP-955 and BP-975
Intelligent Lithium-ion batteries. These batteries communicate remaining running time (down to
the minute) and wear data back to the camcorder, so the user is well-informed at all times. On
the outside of the battery, four LED lamps allow battery life to be viewed quickly when in the
field.
Additionally, the camcorder is compatible with existing Canon BP-900
series batteries. Batteries can also be inserted and removed while the
supplied AC power cable is connected.
Photo Capture
For applications such as storyboarding, continuity and publicity shots, the
XF300 offers the ability to capture 1920 x 1080 still images. Photos may be captured to an SD
memory card during the time of recording, as well as “frame grabbed” during playback.
Color Bars with Reference Tone
Two types of color bars can be selected:
Type 1 (SMPTE compliant) or Type 2 (ARIB compliant)
1 kHz Reference Tone: -12dB, -18dB, 20dB or OFF
