Custom picture settings
With custom picture settings (0 113), you can enjoy
unparalleled image control to deliver the “look” you
want by adjusting parameters, such as gamma and
sharpness. The custom picture settings can be
recorded onto an SD card, which allows multiple
XF305/XF300 camcorders to use the same settings,
or embedded in the recording itself.
Advanced Professional Features
Pro-level connectivity (b only)
An industry-standard HD/SD SDI terminal (0 146)
for uncompressed HD signal output, embedded
audio and SMPTE time code (LTC) give the
camcorder the functionality of professional broadcast
cameras. Genlock synchronization (0 87) and the
TIME CODE terminal (0 87) 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 (0 111) so that you can call up
those functions with the press of a single button.
Custom functions (0 124) and custom onscreen
displays (0 125) 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 XF305/XF300 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
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 (0 97), the color of the image
using the vectorscope (0 98), or the focus using the
edge monitor (0 98).
Added and improved functionality
Other functions include improved image stabilization
(0 60), the option to add metadata to recordings
(0 95), and the Intelligent System-compatible
battery pack (0 196). Also, optical axis shift
(0 108) and the focal length guide (0 109) have
been added to aid in 3D shooting.
