OVERVIEW
Shoot, Record, Document, Stream
Shoot high quality 4K UHD video with the compact XA60. The camera delivers outstanding oversampled HD, advanced autofocus, a Canon 20x optical zoom lens, HD livestreaming with UVC1 via a USB-C connection to a PC or Mac and can capture footage for recording or sharing later in either XF-AVC or MP4 formats.
Compact professional 4K UHD camcorder
Capture stunning 4K UHD and Full HD images thanks to a 4K 1/2.3" type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 image processor. Oversampled HD delivers Full HD images from the 4K sensor.
On-Screen Display (OSD) “Time Stamp” Recording
New to XA-Series cameras, the OSD recording embeds date, time, timecode, and other data into your original camera files effectively “time stamping” the information into each frame of video, a requirement for legal and law enforcement videographers.
UVC Livestreaming
Stream HD video directly from the camera via UVC1 to a PC or Mac computer.
Professional audio controls
Two XLR terminals on a detachable handle plus 4-channel linear PCM bring a suite of pro audio options.
4K 20x optical zoom lens
The Canon lens covers a 29.3mm wide angle (35mm equivalent) with a powerful 612mm reach. Digital zoom boosts the 20x optical zoom to 800x magnification. To minimize camera shake, the camera provides Canon’s Dynamic IS 5-axis image stabilization.
Fast, precise focusing with face detection
Adjustable focusing speeds and advanced Hybrid AF system provide fast and precise focusing. Use the ultra-bright high-resolution 3.5-inch LCD display to set focus by touching the AF point on the screen. Face Detection AF and Face Tracking are available while Manual Focus is set via the focus/zoom ring.
XF-AVC and MP4 for flexible recording
Choose from XF-AVC or MP4 recording formats. Record XF-AVC 4K UHD 160Mbps at 30P and Full HD 45Mbps at 60P/60i/30P/24P. For smaller files, record MP4 in 4K 150Mbps at 30P/24P and Full HD 35Mbps or 17Mbps at 60P/30/24P.
Professional input and output
Output options include simultaneous backup and relay recording via dual SD cards and Infrared mode. Record Slow Motion in Full 5x HD or Fast Motion in 4K/Full HD up to 1200x. Color match with other Canon cameras using the custom picture menu.
