High-quality 4K capture

With Canon’s line-up of compact camcorders, content creators can easily capture stunning 4K footage in various scenarios. Powered with the DIGIC DV6 image processor and leveraging the 1/2.3” type CMOS sensor and 1.0-inch Type CMOS sensor respectively, the XA60 is capable of shooting 4K UHD and Full HD images using over sampling for superior HD quality, for a wide range of shooting scenarios. When coupled with Canon’s intelligent optical design, these camcorders offer impressive zoom functionality in a lightweight body. Achieving a 35mm equivalent focal length, the XA60 offers 20x, and supports 40x digital zoom, which extends to 800x in the XA60. With a range of video capabilities, these models are also designed to improve operability with a 3.5inch Touch Panel LCD Monitor and high-resolution Ocular EVF.

Precision focus, steady footage

With Canon’s precision AF systems, the XA60 enables content creators to lock onto their subjects and easily follow the action. The camera employs an advanced Hybrid AF system for precise focusing even in low light situations. All offer adjustable focusing speeds for either fast or smooth AF, which can also be controlled via the 3.5inch LCD display, enabling operators to easily set the focus by touching a single AF point. For even greater accuracy and convenience, especially with busy environments where operators need to keep a subject in shot, Face Detection AF and Face Tracking is available.

Versatile recording formats

Featuring a range of flexible recording options, the XA60 fits easily into professional workflows, whether capturing XF-AVC 4K UHD 160Mbps at 25P for broadcast, or a smaller more manageable codec of MP4 4K UHD 150Mbps at 25P. With a host of specialist recording options including Slow and Fast Motion, on screen display recording which embeds the date and time into the video image, and an infrared mode to capture footage in the dark, these camcorders can be used for a wide range of use cases. They can also be easily integrated into a multi-camera set up thanks to the custom picture menu, allowing users to colour match footage with selected Canon cameras. For professional sound capture, the XA60 has two XLR audio inputs and 4-channel linear PCM to set the recording level and input sensitivity.

Enhanced connectivity options

Canon’s new professional camcorders offer a range of connectivity options to enable simple and fast transmission of high-resolution video. The XA60 can stream HD video in UVC via USB-C through a compatible PC – great for education or houses of worship which increasingly offer both in-person and virtual services. All models feature HDMI output and simultaneous backup and relay recording via dual SD cards.
