Canon XA50

4K camcorder capable of long recording time, excellent cost-performance.
A light, compact 4K ENG camera, the XA50 is equipped with a 2.54cm type CMOS sensor and the DIGIC DV 6 image processor. Capable of recording in 4K UHD 25p in both XF-AVC and MP4 formats, it features the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system which helps users easily achieve the highly accurate pinpoint focus demanded by 4K recording. The high-resolution Canon 4K video zoom lens supports the large image sensor, and in combination, they enable the production of high-definition 4K footage. The lower power consumption enables a shooting time twice longer than that on the XF405, which uses the same battery. This, combined with its lightweight mobility, makes the XA50 a professional-standard camcorder ideal for long hours of shooting.

Features

Beautiful, High-quality 4K Footage With The Large 2.54 cm Type Sensor

The large Dual Pixel CMOS AF-capable 2.54 cm type sensor not only lets the user achieve shallow focus effects unique to that sensor size, it also boasts improved noise performance, resulting in higher quality footage in low light situations. The camcorder supports both the XF-AVC and MP4 formats, as well as internal recording in 4K UHD YCC 4:2:0 8bit 25p. The dual SD card slots enable both simultaneous and relay recording.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF For Accurate, 4K-Ready Pinpoint Focusing

The ultra-high resolution in 4K means that it is more obvious than ever if the shot is the slightest bit out of focus, or has the tiniest hint of focus seeking. Dual Pixel CMOS AF is a technology developed by Canon that equips each image sensor pixel with two photodiodes, making it possible for all pixels to perform both phase detection and imaging. This enhances its ability to accurately establish the location of subjects and achieve precise, tack-sharp focus — perfect for enhancing the quality of your 4K footage. Features such as
​​​​​​​Touch AF, Face Detection AF and touch tracking further support the creation of high-quality 4K video.

1.0-type CMOS sensor

Large CMOS sensor for beautiful Bokeh with high sensitivity and low noise. The camera also benefits from enhanced Full HD image quality with Over Sampling HD processing, whilst Canon Log 3 and Wide DR picture modes allow even greater dynamic range to be captured.

High quality 4K 15x zoom lens

Optimise the quality of your images with an ultra-wide 25.5mm 4K 15x optical zoom with Super UD lens elements to minimise chromatic aberrations. There is an advanced 5-axis image stabilization to cope with filming on the move or when shooting handheld.

Fast and precise Dual Pixel CMOS AF

The XA55 / XA50 incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast and accurate autofocusing in approximately 80% (vertically and horizontally) of the sensor. Face detection AF and Touch tracking operation enable seamless focus control for intuitive operation. A Dual Pixel Focus Guide provides a graphical interface to aid manual focusing.

XF-AVC and MP4 recording to SD cards

The XA55 / XA50 supports multiple recording formats including XF-AVC and MP4. It records XF-AVC 4K UHD 160Mbps at 25P, plus Full HD 45Mbps at 50P/50i/25P.
