The new
ultra compact XA10 Professional Camcorder is designed for situations
where mobility is critical while shooting. This feature-rich,
professional model records Full HD 1080p using an AVCHD codec. The
ultimate professional camcorder for run-and-gun shooting, the compact
XA10 includes a detachable handle for low-angle shooting and
portability. With the handle attached the XA10's functionality is
further enhanced with the addition of XLR inputs and an external
microphone holder.
A Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens delivers a wide, flexible zoom
range (35mm equivalent range 30.4mm-304mm) and smooth, pleasing
backgrounds thanks to an 8-blade iris. And an infrared mode allows users
to capture video in conditions with little or no ambient light, a
situation which would make other camcorders useless.
The new XA10 provides the option of recording to a 64GB internal
flash drive or two SDXC-compatible card slots and the ability to
simultaneously record to two cards at once for instant backup. Portable
and packed with professional features, this camcorder will be the model
of choice for on-the-go videographers.

Features
Flash Memory
The XA10 Professional Camcorder allows users to record up to
24 hours of clear high definition video to a 64GB internal flash drive
or to two SDXC-compatible memory slots. With Relay Recording, the
camcorder automatically switches video recording from the internal drive
to the SD memory cards when the memory becomes full.

(*) Size of built-in memory in XA10.
When recording has continued for 12 hours, it will stop and then restart, automatically.
The maximum memory capacity and recording time can
be substantially increased by the combination of the internal memory
and the size of the SD memory card chosen. For example, the XA10’s 64GB
of internal memory, combined with two removable 64GB memory cards, would
give 192GB in total memory capacity, and 73 hours 30 minutes of
recording time at LP setting.
MXP and FXP modes record in 1920 x 1080 and require a Class 4 or higher SDHC or SDXC Card.
|
Double Slot Recording allows recording to two SD cards
simultaneously, providing an automatic backup while shooting.
AVCHD Codec
The XA10 features the AVCHD codec. AVCHD (Advanced Video
Coding High Definition) was announced in 2006 and is quickly becoming
the standard for professional camcorders. AVCHD utilizes MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 compression technology similar to the technology used in
Canon’s HD DSLRs.
In addition to professional grade camcorders, AVCHD is very
popular in the consumer market and as a result most non-linear editing
software, both professional and consumer, have full support for the
codec; this makes for easy compatibility with the XA10 no matter what
system the user chooses.
AVCHD is used for encoding Blu-ray discs, meaning the XA10
is ideal for capturing content for delivery in this format, as well as
making conversion to web-based content in H.264 format easy.
Additionally, the XA10 records up to 24Mbps, the maximum bit
rate of AVCHD, at 1920 x 1080 and 4:2:0 color space for sharp, vivid,
and fully professional quality image capture.
Genuine Canon 10x HD Zoom Lens
The XA10 features a Genuine Canon 10x HD Zoom Lens which offers a
35mm equivalent of 30.4mm - 304mm. It delivers unsurpassed image
quality, the versatility of a wide angle of view and smooth and
professional looking background images thanks to a sophisticated 8-blade
iris. A dedicated manual focus ring allows accurate and precise
control.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
The XA10 also incorporates a SuperRange Optical Image
Stabilization system (lens shift) with four modes: Standard, Powered,
Dynamic and Off.
Standard:
Lens shift is controlled so that the maximum compensation angle is constant from wide angle through telephoto.
Powered:
Vibration is suppressed at the telephoto end of the range, where shake is most apparent due to high magnification.
Enhanced Auto Focus
When shooting high definition video, sharp focus becomes
more critical than ever. Canon's proprietary Instant AF system combines
an external AF sensor with Canon's legendary auto focus system for fast
and accurate focus. Together, the two sensors reduce focusing time -
even in low-light, low contrast, or high brightness situations - and
improve focusing performance on difficult subjects.
The XA10 gives you a choice of five AF modes for different shooting applications:
Instant AF changes focus as rapidly as possible,
for those applications in which quick focus is more important than other
considerations - for example, in news gathering or documentary work.
Medium AF changes focus at a speed which is softer and smoother than Instant AF, but faster than would likely be possible manually.
Normal AF changes focus at a speed that appears natural and doesn't distract the viewer.
Face AF tracks focus on faces when present. The
user selects the face to be tracked. Face AF has the ability to track
even if the subject‘s face is in profile. If the chosen tracked face is
not present in a shot, the subject in the center of the screen will
automatically be brought into focus.
Face Only AF automatically tracks the chosen tracked face in focus but, should that face leave the scene, will reset focus to manual mode.
Minimum Object Distance
When shooting with the XA10, the minimum focus distance is
20mm (0.78 incles) at the wide macro end and maintains 60cm (1.97 feet)
throughout the entire zoom range. This allows excellent versatility in a
wide range of shooting situations.
8-Blade Iris
In contrast to a typical 6-blade iris, the XA10’s 8-blade
iris captures extraordinarily smooth out-of-focus ‘bokeh' for a more
attractive image effect. The additional blades also reduce diffraction
of light passing through the iris, allowing for the use of smaller
apertures while maintaining image quality.
Canon Native 1920 x 1080 CMOS Image Sensor
Designed and manufactured exclusively by Canon, the XA10
Professional Camcorder incorporates a native 1/3-inch, 1920 x 1080 CMOS
Image Sensor, delivering superb Full HD video recording with minimal
noise. The high sensitivity and wide dynamic range of this sensor are
what demanding users expect from Canon.
3.5" Touch Panel LCD Screen
A 3.5-inch, 922,000 dot LCD monitor provides an ample,
accurate area for critical focus confirmation and approximately 100%
field of view. The display opens on the left side of the camera body.
Touch & Track
Touch and Track delivers precise tracking of the focus and
exposure on any subject - people, animals, vehicles and more. Simply
select the point of interest on the Touch Panel LCD and you will have
the subject in sharp focus, regardless of where in the frame it moves
during the shot. The exposure will be perfectly adjusted for subject and
conditions. Touch & Track is the default setting. Focus or exposure
may be adjusted independently by turning off Touch & Track, and
turning on Touch Focus or Touch Exposure.
Touch Focus
Touch Focus allows the user to pinpoint a specific area to
focus on. This function is similar to the Push AF feature found on other
professional camcorders, but can target a subject anywhere in the
frame.
Touch Exposure
Touch Exposure enables exposure to be locked or compensated for the area touched by the user.
EVF
The XA10 Professional Camcorder features a 0.24-inch,
260,000 Dot Color EVF and approximately 100% field of view coverage for
comfortable viewing and accurate judgment of composition. Brightness,
contrast, color and backlight are adjustable.
Focus Assist Functions
Edge Monitor Focus Assist System
With Canon's Edge Monitor Focus Assist system, a green
monitor is shown at the bottom of the LCD Display. The green waveform
shows overall focus of the image, and the height raises to indicate the
area in focus. Through this dynamic focus feedback, you can intuitively
tune focus in a scene and quickly change the zone of focus.
Peaking/Magnify
Two peaking modes and a 2X magnify focus assist function are
available in standby and record mode (LCD monitor and EVF), making it
extremely easy for the XA10 operator to check and confirm critical
focus.
