Detailed Features
Take a look at a more detailed look into the Canon XA35
20x zoom wide angle Canon HD video lens
Capture superb quality footage thanks to the XA35's stunning and
versatile 26.8mm¹ wide angle lens. A 20x zoom gets you up close to
the action, while Dynamic Optical Image Stabilisation compensates
for shake in 5 directions to provide ultra-steady images. f/1.8
maximum aperture, an 8-blade iris and EDM technology enable
beautiful 'bokeh' effects.
Improved 1/2.84" HD CMOS Pro sensor
The newly developed Canon HD CMOS Pro sensor achieves an effective
pixel count of approximately 2.91 megapixels to deliver stunning
Full HD picture quality. With increased sensitivity and an improved
signal-to-noise ratio, low light images in particular appear
cleaner with reduced noise.
Flexible new image settings
Two new picture settings help you achieve even more impressive
results. Wide DR mode gives you a 600% dynamic range, resulting in
bright images with high contrast that retain detail in both
highlight and shadow areas, without the need for post-production.
Highlight Priority mode reproduces footage with more natural tones,
richer colours and detail, particularly in areas of high
brightness² - perfect for scenes with bright skies and reflective
surfaces.
8.77cm (3.5") OLED touchscreen and tiltable EVF
Despite its compact size, the XA35 provides high-quality
monitoring. An easy-to-use OLED touch screen with a 1.23 million
dot resolution offers faster response times and superior
definition, contrast and colour reproduction compared to LCD
equivalents. A 0.61cm (0.24") 1.56 million dot EVF can tilt up to
45° - easily accommodating a range of shooting positions.
Versatile dual-format recording
AVCHD video can be recorded at up to 28Mbps in 1080/50P; while for
maximum quality, select the 35Mbps 1080/50P MP4 recording mode. The
two SDXC/SDHC memory card slots allow for simultaneous recording³
of high-quality HD and lower resolution MP4 files for easier file
transfer - ideal when a quick turn-around of footage is needed.
Fast and slow motion recording options with interval recording (x2
to x1200) are available in MP4 modes.
Professional audio and HD/SD-SDI connectivity
The easily accessible HD/SD-SDI port allows connection to
industry-standard broadcast equipment such as satellite
transmission systems. Two XLR terminals provide professional audio
inputs, supporting high quality linear PCM recording.⁴
Infrared shooting
The XA35 can easily be used at night or in low ambient light
conditions thanks to the improved sensor sensitivity and bright
infrared light source built into the handle - making it ideal for
the wildlife videographer.
Built-in Wi-Fi, expandable for GPS
Transfer footage wirelessly using an iOS phone or tablet, or via
FTP at up to 150 Mbps⁵. Remotely control camera functions through a
Wi-Fi enabled device with no need for separate apps. Location data
can be recorded using an optional GPS accessory.
Compact, lightweight body
With its detachable handle, this discreet and highly portable
camera is ideal for shooting in sensitive or confined environments.
Its lightweight body reduces fatigue during extended periods of
hand-held filming.
