Introducing the latest professional 4K UHD compact camcorders in the XA series — XA60/65 and XA70/75.

Canon’s XA series professional-use camcorders deliver the high image quality and high mobility required for on-location videography in fields such as broadcasting, reporting, documentary, and event shooting.

The newly announced XA75 and XA70 models inherit the same high performance of their predecessor models (XA50 and XA55), while adding new support for UVC (USB Video Class) communication protocol that enables video transfer via USB connection. With this new feature, the cameras are better suited for use in the increasingly popular field of livestreaming, for video shooting and content creation.

4 Key Features That Makes XA60/65 and XA70/75 Best for Live Streaming

1. Accurate Autofocus

XA70 and XA75 are equipped with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a phase detection technology that is used throughout the EOS range from compact, mirorrless, DSLR and Cinema EOS cameras.

With Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, the XA70 and XA75 are capable of achieveing smooth autofocus and subject tracking during live broadcast shooting. Even during 4K shooting, when precision is crucial, the intuitive touch panel operations enable quick and accurate focusing.

AF area can be moved intuitively with touch

When a face is detected within the frame,it prioritises keeping focus on the face

When the face is no longer detected, it returns to the original focus position

2. Amazing Zoom Capability

XA60/65 and XA70/75 come with high-quality zoom lenses with 5-axis Image Stabilization for sharp stable images. 

XA60/65 has 20x optical zoom and 800x digital zoom, while XA70/XA75 has 15x optical zoom and 600x optical zoom.

Did you know that you can also pair the amazing zoom capability with the new on-screen display recording (OSD) function and use these camcorders as a surveilance camera? With OSD, information such as date, time, time code and other text on the screen can be recorded and be used for verification.

 

3. Recording Modes For a Variety of Situations

Slow and Fast (S&F) Motion Recording

Creative possibilities are further enhanced with slow & fast motion recording.

Relay and Double Recording
