Along with the XF300, the XF305 Professional Camcorder represents Canon's entry into professional solid state video acquisition. Following on the heels of its widely respected XH line of tape-based camcorders, the XF305 takes advantage of the latest HD technology--along with Canon's newly developed MPEG-2 4:2:2 codec--to record Full HD video to widely available Compact Flash cards.

question
Can I import the video into Corel Video studio pro x10?
In the manual, on page 5, Canon XF Utility software says You can transfer your recordings to your computer, whree you can view and manage them. Using the associated plugins, you then use the recordings with major NLE software. We use Adobe Premier Pro CC for editing. I hope this helps.

question
Can the Canon XF305 or XF300 be switched to an SD, 4:3 mode like the previous models that record to tape can?
YES; find and go to the camera video setup menu. 1. OPEN the { SD Output} submenu. toggle to SD Output. 2. Select SD out. NOTE: I take the SD rarely but I use a B&C connector, bottom B&C lug, rear right panel, to output SD. Please refer to XF300-305 Instruction Manual (available on line I think) pages 152-154.
