 So here we have the Canon XF405 and here's the Canon XF400 and hello so who are you? I'm my name is Paul and I'm the product specialist for ProVideo and Cinemarios for Canon Europe. And this is the new, very exciting new camera here from Canon. We're looking at the XF400 and this is a 4K 60 or 4K 50 frames per second support. High bit rate with a dual pixel AF, lots of stuff in there right? Yeah I mean it's our first camcorder, traditional style camcorder to have the CMOS dual pixel AF system. It provides a very fast and very capable autofocus system. Ideal for the single shooter. The only thing on this as well is that when it's set up you can just select your focus point by touching the screen. And it's very fast autofocus? Yeah what you can do though is you can regulate it so you can change the speed, you can change the sensitivity as well. Can we try to focus on the camera there? Yeah sure. Can you show the bokeh because it's got a one inch sensor, it's able to do some nice bokeh effect? Yeah it is. It's a little fine. Yeah it's fine. Cinemarenzo. Cinemarenzo. Right there. So it's got a nice big sensor with lots of functionalities around it also. Lots of, what do you call it, iris frames or what do you call it? So we've got face detection and face priority so you can have a face. And that's a far away zoom. Yeah. It's finding somebody very far away over there. 15 times zoom on this. Can we go in the menu to check out the codecs that you have and the frame rates? So this is a new UI style for Canon. A little bit new. We have 4K, 150 megabit per second. So it's an H264. And then you can choose the frame rate. You have 25 and 50, right? This is a palm alone right here. And it's also touch screen so you can go around in a menu like this. 25 and 50. And the format, oh sorry. And the format for the audio. And there will be a firmware update with XF ABC, right? What does that mean? It's the similar codec to we see on other XF cameras and the Cinemarios. That will be the XF ABC codec that we use with an XF wrapper. So it's a different codec or is it still H264? It's still H264. It's just a different flavour of, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's still going to be the same, do you talk about bit rates on that one? It's going to be 4208 bit. 4208 bit? 4208 bit. And but it's still going to be 150 megabit per second. As far as I'm aware, yeah, we're still working on the details of that. But it will be available sort of early 2018. All right. That's the main functionality of the firmware update, right? It's the only one that you've noticed. There's only one that you know of. And then you have around here, you have dual SD card slots. Yeah, sure. So we can do relay recording. We've got main card days filled up, card v-starts automatically, or we can have dual recording. So you get an instant backup. And is this a fan? What's going on over here? Yeah, but obviously, being a 4K camera, there's an awful lot of heat potentially generated. So we've got a new design on the cooling system. But it's a fairly quiet one for what I could, what I've been able to pick up so far. This is the XF400, which has, right here, it has Ethernet, right here, which the GX10 doesn't have Ethernet, right? No, it doesn't have Ethernet. And here is HDMI. Can you output? For the HDMI output on this, it's possible to go to 4K, again 4208 bit. Or you can have, through the SDI on the 405, you can have 42010 bit. 42010 bit on the SDI? On the SDI, to an external device. And right here, you include this microphone holder, but it's easy to take it off. Yes, absolutely. Those two screws. And it's possible to put something else here. Do you have other kind of things? We don't, but I'm sure there will be third party devices that... Because I'd like to have my shotgun mic here, and to have my wireless receiver here, instead of having the shotgun go here. So possibly, maybe there could be... Otherwise, there's all kinds of ways people have morpheus. Because you have dual XLR inputs. So... And is it possible to mix both XLR to be stereo on both channels? I have to go in and play with it. These things literally arrived a few days before the show, so I'm not that time to sit down and play with it, if I'm completely honest. They're that new. You can have four channels, you can have seven channels, quite definitely, because one of the things that we say, if you're using this to interview, you use the onboard mic or 3.5mm mic to get the ambient, and then channel one would be the interviewer, channel two the interviewer. So you can use mini jack and dual XLR at the same time. Yeah, but the mini jack has to be a powered microphone, there's no power from it. Nice. So that could be one thing here, that's three mics, plus the built-in mic. No, you can't use the built-in mic and the 3.5mm, so that's where the capability stops. All right, that's really cool. And then there's all kinds of ways to mix it up, to do the endless possible to take this off. Yeah, it does, but then you also have to lock it. There's no three rings, there's just one, but you can select to do all kinds of things. So you can select interview, focus or zoom. You can change the ND filter or something right there. Melting glass filters, rotating the system, like the Cinemarillas cameras. And you also have some wide angle kind of like adapter in the front? Yeah, there's a wide angle adapter and there's a telephoto adapter going to be available as well. And that basically, it's already quite wide, right? 25mm. 25.5mm I think, 35mm. And if you use an adapter it just becomes even a little bit wider, but then you have to remember to go into the menu and tell you using the wide adapter as well. How's the autofocus performance if you use the wider? It seems to be just as good, because it's designed to fit in with that system. It's optically, it's matched with the rest of the lens. So dual pixel AF is kind of like famous as the best autofocus system in the world, right? Yeah, it's really, really fast and accurate autofocus system. And for people who are working on their own, it's invaluable. It really is. The nice thing is as well, if you've seen the Cinemarillas cameras they have the focus assist feature. And that's using the dual pixel AF technology on the sensor. But it's allowing you to have a confirmation of focus. So you get that little UI that's a box with some arrows and the arrows tell you whether you need to move the lens left or right. And then when everything goes green and the arrows match up you've achieved perfect focus. And that is vital in 4K recording. So that's assisting people who want to do manual. Yep. So they know where it is in focus and they can go there as soon as they want, kind of. Yeah, I mean, it's fine. It is a lot easier to use on the bigger lenses with a focus demand because you can pre-select markers if you are doing a manual focus. But it is perfectly viable to do that on here and you can move that point of selection around within 80% of the sensor as well. How does doing pixel work? Is it something to do with the sensor design? Yeah, I mean, basically during the focus stage each photo site looks at the image separately. So the photo site, the pixels split itself into two, in effect. They look at the image together. They decide what it needs to do. Some Canon magic takes place inside the camera and the lens gets moved to the appropriate point. And there's all these really great cameras that have dual-pixel AF like the Mark III. It's a 5D Mark III. Yeah, that's a slightly different... It's the same background, if you like, of technology but obviously those are stills cameras. These are a version for the video camera world. And all those cameras are great, they have issues when people want to do 4K. It was an Mjpeg codec, something a little bit hard to use. But this is now a big deal for Canon to get into this space, right? Yeah, I mean, we've had MP4... Great 4K, 60 codec built in. Yeah, we've had MP4 capability in other cameras. Obviously now it's just the 4K file size. One thing that I'm wondering is... You have this wide... You even have, I think, a little about it. It's called Wide Dynamic Range. Yeah, what do you call this? So that first came in the C100 as a firmer update, I believe. And it's really where that camera was aimed at. So the people who wanted to use it to film weddings and social independence, anything that they wanted the Super 35mm sensor to look to. What they would do is... Sorry, I've lost my train of thought there. Wide Dynamic Range, that was it. So the Wide Dynamic Range was brought in because those cameras featured the Canon Log Curve. The thing with Canon Log is, yes, it gives you 12 stops or 15 stops of dynamic range depending on the camera, but you have to grade that to get the best from it. And the guys that we use in the C100 really may not have had the time or the budget to subject their footage to grading. Wide Dynamic Range is a setting that changes the curve slightly, but you can use it straight out of the camera with approximately a BT709 values attached to that footage. Does it have anything to do with HDR or HOD? Nothing at all. Nothing at all. There's a lot of people get confused on that. So you can realistically and truthfully, you can make an HDR workflow out of any footage. It can be standard definition. It won't look very nice, but you can do it. The point is that when you're coming into a high dynamic range workflow, it's the output. It's not even the output from the camera's high dynamic range. It's just output. The high dynamic range comes from what you do to that footage when it gets into the post-production stream. So to get the best value or the best impact of HDR, you need the most information. And that's when you start looking more into the Cinemareos cameras because you've got a massive colour space, a massive colour gamut, massive colour matrix options and a big white dynamic range from the Canon Log 10. If I choose the wide dynamic range mode to film my videos with this, is that something that I cannot consider it to be kind of like an HDR? No, because it doesn't do HDR. HDR is not an output from a camera. It's a workflow value. The wide dynamic range will give you a wide dynamic range image, which if you wanted to enter into HDR workflow afterwards, would give you more information to play with. But it still wouldn't be as good as shooting Canon Log, Cinema Gamut and neutral colour matrix. This can't do Canon Log. It doesn't do the large dynamic range. But if I shoot the wide dynamic range, is it going to look better on screens? That would be very subjective. That's the one thing with this business, it's very subjective. It will give you an image that is designed to look good on a commercial TV straight from the camera. So this is arriving very soon? We are looking at this going on sale towards the end of the year. So towards the end of the year and what's the price? Price is... Is it around... It depends on the region, right? Yeah, we do try to have a standard European pricing where we can, but obviously we do get fluctuations. How did you change... How do you just close it right there? It's nice to be able to close the lens cover. It's called XF. There was XF 300 before. So it's kind of like the new... No, XF 300 is still going. It's not a replacement for that. There's just another camera in the range to give you that 4K capability. Yep, cool. So the XF 4005, we're expecting that to retail around about 3699. 3699... Yeah, plus tax. Euros? Euros and the 400 about 3199. All right, cool. Right there. There it is. Right here.
