  • The XF100-series has a new Infrared (IR) shooting mode that’s activated via a switch on the front of the camcorder, beneath the lens. With a built-in IR lamp, both green and white light shooting options.
  • A single manual lens ring provides control over focus, zoom and iris, with a side-mounted switch allowing the user to switch instantly between modes.
  • A new Face-Only AF mode limits autofocusing to detected faces only.
  • Two CF slots for continuous (relay) recording. SD card slot for stills.
