Advanced Professional Features
Pro-level connectivity (bonly)
An industry-standard HD/SD SDI terminal (0127) for uncompressed HD signal output, embedded audio and SMPTE time code (LTC) give the camcorder the functionality of professional broadcast cameras. Genlock synchronization (074) and time
6code synchronization (074) allow the camcorder to be part of any multi-camera shooting setup.
Customization
The camcorder features several customization options. You can assign often-used functions to assignable buttons (097) so that you can call up those functions with the press of a single button. Custom functions (0107) and custom onscreen displays (0108) give you even more freedom to control many aspects of the camcorder’s operation. Save custom picture and menu settings to an SD card so that you can transfer your setting preferences to other XF105/XF100 camcorders in order to use them in the same way.
Other Functions
Audio
Sound is recorded as 2-channel linear PCM audio (16-bit/48 kHz). You can use the built-in microphone, MIC audio input terminal or the two XLR audio input terminals (with phantom power supply) when recording.
Video scopes
Check the brightness of the image using the waveform monitor (084) or the focus using the edge monitor (085).
Added and improved functionality
Other functions include improved image stabilization (053), the option to add metadata to recordings (082), and the Intelligent System-compatible battery pack (0173). Also, optical axis shift (095) and the focal length guide (096) have been added to aid in 3D shooting.
