rotating- able to open on both the right and left side of the camera body.
The display also features an additional 35º of forward movement past
normal position. The large range of movement makes the display adjustable
for easy viewing even in the most difficult shooting positions. The
flexibility and fluidity of movement also makes the display less susceptible
to accidental damage, compared to a more rigid design, if bumped during
recording.
High Resolution, 1.55-megapixel EVF
The XF300 Professional Camcorder features a 0.52-inch, 1.55 Megapixel Color EVF
and approximately 100% field of view coverage for comfortable viewing and
accurate judgment of composition, focus and color. The angle of the viewfinder is
adjustable for additional user comfort and when using the LCD display for
monitoring. The EVF can be used as a cheek pad to ensure three points of contact
when hand holding and maximizing stability. This makes the camcorder much easier
to manage during extended recording periods and long days of shooting.
Focus Assist Functions
Edge Monitor Focus Assist System
With Canon’s new Edge Monitor Focus Assist system, a red and green monitor is shown at the bottom
of the LCD Display and three red focus check areas are shown across the display. The green
waveform shows overall focus of the image, while the red waveform shows the focus status of the
focus check boxes. Through this dynamic focus feedback, the user can intuitively tune focus in a
scene and quickly change the zone of focus.
Peaking/Magnify
Two peaking modes and a magnify focus assist function are available in standby and record mode
(LCD monitor and EVF), making it extremely easy for the XF300 operator to check and confirm
critical focus.
Exceptional Customization
Users of the XF300 Professional Camcorder have full manual control of all camera functions to adapt
to both technical and artistic challenges when shooting. For maximum customization, users have
access to Custom Picture Settings, Custom Functions and Custom Display Options to tailor the
camera to match their creative and production needs. Any combination of these items can be saved to
an SD memory card for easy setup and matching of multiple XF305 and XF300 camcorders.
Custom Picture Settings
You can manually set an extensive variety of image quality adjustments and
store them as 9 different presets. The adjustments include: Gamma, Black
Level, Black Gamma, Low Key Saturation, Knee, Sharpness, Noise
Reduction, Skin Detail, Selective Noise Reduction, Color Matrix, White
