Canon XA30 features a new 1/2.84-inch HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor that captures approximately 2136x1362 pixels. Offers multiple recording modes, resolutions, and frames rates, giving you the ability to adapt to a variety of workflows and applications. Dual-band Wi-Fi (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz) support is built into the camera.
Wide DR Gamma, an option found on Canon's professional CINEMA EOS cameras, compresses high brightness areas to achieve a wider dynamic range of 600%.
The 3.5-inch, 1,230,000-dot equivalent OLED display provides vivid color and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio.
The XA30 offers optical image stabilization (IS) useful for reducing image blur in a wide variety of shooting situations.
The XA30 features an integrated mic, and the detachable handle houses two XLR Line/Mic level inputs with +48V phantom power for connecting external mics. The detachable handle also houses the manual audio level controls. Should you choose, the built-in mic and an XLR input can be used simultaneously. For audio monitoring, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack with 16 volume settings provides for accurate audio monitoring.
The detachable top handle contains the audio controls and external XLR audio inputs, as well as a zoom control rocker, record start/stop button, accessory cold shoe, tally light, and an infrared emitter. You can remove the top handle from the camera to create an even smaller shooting package.
The XA30 features an Infrared Mode that allows the capture of video in conditions with little to no ambient light by removing the infrared cutoff filter from the optical path. The camcorder's specially designed lens coating allows the infrared light to pass through to the image sensor. Thanks to the improved sensor sensitivity, it can shoot at brightness levels that are approximately 1.4 times more sensitive than the previous model. For more flattering IR imagery, the detachable handle features a diffuser along with the infrared emitter. The camcorder gives the option of recording in white or green modes.
