FCC NOTICE

HD Camcorder, XF200 / XF205 Systems.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the manual.

If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the

equipment.

Model ID0038 (including WLAN Module Model RF400, FCC ID: AZD400)

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low

power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely

safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range

while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-

level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of

low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some

biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This model

has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio

frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c) Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the

passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several

special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on

the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only

while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically

discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

Frequency Tolerance: 25 ppm

Highlights of the XF200 / XF205

The Canon HD Camcorder XF200 / XF205 is a compact-sized and highly portable camcorder that offers

superior video quality. The camcorder features a 1/2.84-in. CMOS sensor and allows you to record in two

formats (MXF on CF cards or MP4 on SD cards). The following are some of the many features that will help you

turn your creative vision into reality.

HD Recording

1/2.84-in. CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 4 image

processor

The HD CMOS PRO sensor can capture video at an

effective pixel count of 2,910,000 pixels. Combined

with the advanced DIGIC DV 4 image processor and

the 20x wide-angle lens, it can deliver a center

resolution of 900 TV lines. Furthermore, thanks to

Canon’s high-sensitivity and noise reduction

technologies, you can get excellent video quality

with minimal noise even when recording in low-light

situations.

MXF and MP4 formats

You can choose the movie format according to your

workflow needs. You can record in MXF format

using the MPEG-2 Long GOP codec, in MP4 format

using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, or in both

formats simultaneously. MXF clips are recorded as

Material eXchange Format (MXF files), compatible

with all major non-linear (NLE) editing software.

Flexible video and audio configuration

For MXF clips, the camcorder offers 3 resolution

sizes (1920x1080, 1440x1080 or 1280x720), 4

frame rate options and 3 bit rate options for a total

of 16 video configurations (A 55). Audio is

recorded as linear PCM audio using 2 or 4 channels

(A 98).

For MP4 clips, the camcorder offers 3 resolution

sizes (1920x1080, 1280x720 or 640x360), 3 frame

rate options and 5 bit rate options for a total of 8

possible video configurations (A 55).

Operability and Adaptability

Freely customizable compact design

The camcorder offers maximum operability for a

single camera operator. It features 3 separate rings

for independent focus, zoom and iris operation. The

camcorder’s side grip can be easily adjusted up to

120 degrees to let you use whatever camera angle

you need (A 35). Additionally, gain, shutter and iris

controls can be adjusted manually or automatically

giving you the freedom to decide to what extent you

want to control every aspect of the image.

Improved displays

The camcorder features a 3.5-in. OLED display

(equivalent to 1,230,000 dots) that excels in color

reproduction, contrast and responsiveness and is

easy to use even in bright outdoors. The viewfinder,

on the other hand, offers a high-resolution LCD

screen (also equivalent to 1,230,000 dots) with a

wide angle of view of approx. 28.2°. The viewfinder

can be tilted 68° vertically to ensure a comfortable fit

in various shooting conditions.

Recording media

The camcorder records MXF clips to CF cards and

MP4 clips to SD cards. It features two CF card slots

that you can use to record continuously, one after

the other, using relay recording (A 42), or

simultaneously using double slot recording (A 42).

You can even record MP4 clips to the SD card while

recording an MXF clip on one or both CF cards

(A 123).

Work with major NLE software

The Canon XF Utility software and various XF

plugins are available as free downloads from your

local Canon Web site. Canon XF Utility allows you

to easily save, manage and play back your MXF

clips, while the XF plugins let you smoothly link them

to major NLE software* to continue your editing

workflow. For details, refer to

Saving MXF Clips

(A 168).

The supplied software Data Import Utility allows

you to save MP4 clips to a computer and even join

split MP4 files into a single file for editing. For details,

refer to

Saving MP4 Clips

(A 170).

*Refer to

Saving Clips to a Computer

(A 168) for details

on compatible software.

Pro-level remote operation

The camcorder can be used with the optional

RC-V100 Remote Controller for remote operation of

many advanced functions, including iris, gain and

even custom picture settings.

Versatile Artistic Expression

Special recording modes

The special recording modes (A 118) give you

more creative control over your recordings. You can

create a slow motion or fast motion effect in your

recordings, record a certain number of frames at a

set interval (ideal for nature shots and other subjects

with little movement) or record a certain number of

frames every time you press a button (ideal for stop

motion animation).

Custom picture settings

With custom picture settings (A 132), you can

enjoy unparalleled image control to deliver the “look”

you want by adjusting parameters, such as gamma

and sharpness.

Advanced Professional Features and

Flexibility

Wired and Wi-Fi network functions (A 173)

You can connect the camcorder to other devices via

wired (Ethernet) connection or Wi-Fi to enjoy a

variety of functions. For example, you can transfer

recordings to an FTP server or use the Web browser

on a connected device to remotely operate the

camcorder (Browser Remote) or to play back the

recordings on the camcorder (Playback via

Browser). Also, using the IP streaming function

(A 194), you can broadcast the camcorder’s live

video over IP to a compatible decoder connected to

the same network.

Pro-level connectivity

The camcorder offers two terminals for professional

level connectivity. Use the 3G/HD-SDI terminal to

output the uncompressed HD video signal along

with embedded audio and SMPTE time code (LTC)

in a format that can be used for external recording.

Meanwhile, the MON. terminal offers the best video

output for an external monitor, including the option

to overlay the camcorder’s onscreen displays.

Genlock synchronization (A 94), the TIME CODE

terminal (A 95, 96) and GENLOCK/SYNC OUT

terminal allow the camcorder to be part of any multi-

camera shooting setup.

Infrared recording

Record in darkness using infrared recording

(A 126). With the built-in infrared light, you can

record nocturnal animals in their natural environment

or other such scenes.

Customization

The camcorder features several customization

options. You can assign often-used functions to

assignable buttons (A 129) so that you can call up

those functions with the press of a single button.

You can also register frequently-used menu settings

in an easy-to-access personal menu (My Menu,

A 30). Custom functions (A 141) and custom

onscreen displays (A 142) 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 XF200 / XF205 camcorders in

order to use them in the same way.

Other Functions

Change main camera functions while checking

the image on the screen using only the joystick.

•Assistance functions

Peaking and magnification (A 84) can be helpful

when you use manual focus, onscreen markers

(A 88) can be very useful to help you frame your

video, and zebra patterns (A 89) can give you a

reference point to avoid overexposures.

• Video scopes (A 108)

Check the brightness of the image using the

waveform monitor, the color of the image using

the vectorscope, or the focus using the edge

monitor.

• Intelligent System

When using battery packs compatible with

Intelligent System, the camcorder will display an

estimate, in minutes, of the remaining recording/

playback time using the battery pack (A 25). You

can also check the battery life indicator and other

information on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status

screen (A 217).

• Multiple audio recording options (A 98)

The camcorder offers 2- or 4-channel linear PCM

audio recording for MXF clips and 2-channel AAC

audio recording for MP4 clips. You can use the

camcorder’s built-in microphone, external

microphones with a ∅ 3.5 mm mini-stereo plug

(MIC terminal), or external audio input sources

with an XLR plug (INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminals with

+48 V phantom power supply). The camcorder

even has a convenient microphone holder with

cable clamp for external microphones.

• Metadata and GPS information (A 111, 114)

You have the option to add various metadata

fields to your MXF clips. Some of the information

requires using Canon XF Utility or the Browser

Remote application. Additionally, you can connect

the optional GP-E2 GPS Receiver to the

camcorder to automatically add GPS information

to your recordings. Using Canon XF Utility you

can then organize or search MXF clips by GPS

information.
