Mastering the Canon XF305 and XF300 Camcorders

Mastering the Canon XF305 & XF300 Camcorders is the easiest way to learn both the fundamentals and advanced features of these amazing camcorders and their state-of-the-art tapeless workflow. This is not a superficial review of the camcorder nor a quick look at the various functions. It took two months and more than 400 man-hours to research, write, plan, shoot, and edit this 3.5 hour, 3-DVD workshop. This training DVD video not only tells you "what" a feature does, it also tells you "why", "when", and "how" to use it. This is as close to a one-on-one training seminar as you can get without actually traveling to attend a class.

Mastering the Canon XF305 & XF300 Camcorders includes tutorials, step-by-step examples, and detailed instructions covering the most important aspects of camera setup, menus, shooting techniques, clip naming, file management, clip importing, Custom Picture files, time-code, assign buttons, focusing, zooming, face-detect, shutter speed, time-lapse, slow-motion, basic editing, working with CAMSET files, taking still photos, and more. No stone is left unturned.

This DVD is a completely independent production with no sponsorship, input, or approval from Canon. It delivers unbiased information and professional advice that can’t be found in the Canon XF305 and Canon XF300 owner’s manual. This DVD workshop is designed to help anyone, from a novice to an experienced ENG/EFP shooter, get the best results from their Canon XF305 / Canon XF300. The DVD provides real-world examples and suggested techniques that are simple to put into practice.

This DVD will pay for itself many times over by saving you hours of time learning the XF305 / XF300 on your own.
