Brilliant Ergonomics
The XF300 Professional Camcorder has set a new standard for ergonomic design in compact pro
camcorders. It is designed from the ground up to maximize handheld shooting comfort and usability.
Users will find the camera well balanced with the handgrip positioned closer to
the optical access near the camera’s center of gravity. This allows the operator to
easily maintain a steady shot while minimizing arm fatigue. Controls are ideally
placed making the camera feel like a natural extension of the operator’s body.
Additionally, the XF300 features a redesigned layout to make using the
camcorder highly intuitive. New users and users switching from other products
will find the button layout, camera menu system and camera controls
immediately familiar and easy to use out of the box with operational and control
organization that conform to industry standards.
