Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced three new additions to the company’s video camcorder lineup: the XF405 4K UHD Video Camcorder, the XF400 4K UHD Video Camcorder and the VIXIA HF GX10 4K UHD Video Camcorder, three lightweight and compact video camcorders that feature 4K/60p video recording.

    Canon XF405, XF400 and VIXIA HF GX10 4K UHD Video Camcorders
    The Canon XF405 and XF400 4K UHD Video Camcorders are both ideal for applications like broadcast interviews, documentaries and weddings. Designed with advanced amateurs and hobbyists in mind, the VIXIA HF GX10 4K UHD Video Camcorder provides the same high- image quality as the Canon XF405 and XF400.

    All three models feature a newly developed 15x optical zoom lens (35 mm film equivalent: 25.5mm–382.5mm), to support 4K recording, alongside a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC DV 6 image-processing platform, to produce stunning 4K/60p recording across the entire zoom range. In addition, the compact and lightweight body designs measure approximately 5.3in (l) x 3.8in(h) x 8.4in(d) and weigh approximately 40.5oz, 40.3oz and 40.2oz for the XF405, XF400 and VIXIA HF GX10, respectively. The compact and lightweight nature of all three 4K UHD models provide great mobility when shooting such scenes as news reports and events.

    All three camcorders provide users with fast, highly accurate focusing through intuitive touch-panel operations and feature Dual Pixel CMOS AF—a technology that offers smooth Auto Focus(AF) operation with high-tracking capabilities, making it ideal for shooting video.

    The Canon XF405 4K UHD video camcorder, the XF400 4K UHD video camcorder and the VIXIA HF GX10 4K UHD video camcorder are scheduled to be available in November 2017 for estimated retail prices of $3499.001, $2999.001 and $2499.00.1 respectively.

    The poster for the documentary film 'Safe Sets' features a stuntperson on fire jumping from a high platform.

    Feature documentary Safe Sets: Dying to Work in the Film Industry is now available on Amazon Prime for rent or purchase. In the film, Doctor Paul Heinzelmann investigates hazardous working conditions in Hollywood and discovers untold stories of enormous personal sacrifice and life-threatening risks for those working in an industry that brings us the movies and TV shows we cherish.

    In addition to Heinzelmann’s own journey and research, Safe Sets: Dying to Work in the Film Industry provides historical context and features candid interviews with actors Jon Hamm and John Malkovich, alongside crew members and public health experts. A must-watch for anyone who loves film and filmmaking, the feature doc presents a case for change and the fundamental shifts that will create healthier conditions for film workers everywhere.

    "With Safe Sets now available on Prime Video, our film can become a rallying cry for real change,” notes Heinzelmann. “The stories we've uncovered show not only lives lost, but the damage to overall well-being that prevents people in this industry from living and thriving with a higher quality of life. The future of the industry depends on making that change.”

    "A film driven to improve the lives of all of us working in this industry.” – Actor Jon Hamm
