Highlights of the Camcorder

The Canon XA65 / XA60 4K Camcorder is a high-performance camcorder whose compact size

makes it ideal in a variety of situations. The following are just some of the many functions featured in

the camcorder.

4K Recording

CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 6 image

processor

The camcorder is equipped with a

1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor that captures video

at an effective pixel count of approximately

8.29 megapixels (3840x2160). The video is

then processed by the DIGIC DV 6 image

processor. In addition to recording 4K video,

the camcorder employs oversampling to

record Full HD video.

XF-AVC and MP4 formats

You can choose the video format according to

your workflow needs. You can record in XF-

AVC format or MP4 format. Both formats use

the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, but XF-AVC

clips are recorded as Material eXchange

Format (MXF files), compatible with all major

non-linear (NLE) editing software.

Wide zoom lens and 8-bladed aperture

The zoom lens is equipped with 20x optical

zoom and has a focal length at full wide angle

of 29.3 mm* (35 mm equivalent), making the

camcorder versatile in a variety of shooting

situations. The 8-bladed aperture delivers a

pleasing out-of-focus blur (“bokeh”) to your

recordings.

* When the resolution is 3840x2160 and the

image stabilization is a setting other than

Dynamic IS. The focal length is 30.6 mm

when using Dynamic IS.

4K recording at 29.97P and HD

recording at 59.94P

The camcorder can record clips in MP4 or XF-

AVC format at 3840x2160 with a frame rate of

29.97P or 1920x1080 with a frame rate of

59.94P, giving you the freedom to choose the

video configuration that is most suitable for

your project. Furthermore, audio is recorded as

either 4-channel linear PCM or 2-channel AAC.

Convenience and Functionality

Recording for extended periods

With its two SD card slots, the camcorder

allows you to use dual recording (A 32) to

record the same clip on two SD cards, or relay

recording to automatically switch to the other

SD card when the one being used becomes

full. Dual recording is a convenient way to

create a backup of your recordings while relay

recording effectively extends the available

recording time.

Emphasis on versatility

This camcorder has features to make it usable

as a main camera but is also small enough to

be very portable. The advanced image

stabilization (A66), which stabilizes the

image along 5 axes, will let you shoot in a

variety of situations in the field. The handle unit

is removable so you can attach it to enjoy

additional audio options and infrared

functionality, or remove it when you need

improved portability. The LCD touch panel and

viewfinder can be angled in a variety of

positions, allowing for shooting in tight places,

for example.

Manual controls at your fingertips

The focus/zoom ring helps you achieve the

focus you are looking for. You can easily

change the ring's functionality so that you can

operate the zoom. You can also assign certain

frequently used functions to a customizable

button and adjust those functions with the

accompanying dial (A87). Additionally, the

camcorder also features 5 assignable buttons

on the camcorder and one onscreen

assignable touch button to which you can

assign a variety of functions to access them

with ease (A88).

4Face detection & tracking (A 64)

After detecting a subject's face, the camcorder

can focus on it and even track it. Furthermore,

the camcorder can be in manual focus but

switch to autofocus when a face is detected,

ensuring that important subjects are in focus.

Infrared recording

Record in darkness using infrared recording

(A82). With the built-in infrared light on the

handle unit, you can record nocturnal animals

in their natural environment or other such

scenes.

Creativity and Artistic Expression

Special recording modes (A40, 80)

When you make recordings, you can change

the recording frame rate to achieve a fast or

slow motion effect. Alternatively, you can use

pre-recording to record 3 seconds before you

decide to start recording, helping you capture

those hard-to-catch opportunities.

Looks (A54)

You can adjust various aspects of the picture,

such as the color depth, sharpness and

brightness, to create a desired “look”.

Custom picture settings (A90)

Select one of the preset color settings or set

the combination of gamma curve, color space

and color matrix that you wish to use. Then,

you can adjust a number of other image-

related parameters in detail.

Enhanced audio features (A 71)

The attachable handle unit offers expanded

audio options. It features two INPUT terminals

for external microphones (balanced input),

manual control over the audio recording level,

and control for supplying phantom power to an

external microphone

Other Features

• Menu settings file that can be saved in the

camcorder or on an SD card to restore all the

menu settings or replicate them on another

XA65 / XA60 camcorder (A98).

• Battery packs compatible with Intelligent

System give you an estimate (in minutes) of

the remaining recording time.

• Compatibility with the optional GP-E2 GPS

Receiver to geotag your recordings (A85).

• Compatibility with the optional RC-V100

Remote Controller (A83) when you need a

professional level of remote control.

Preparations

Charging the Battery Pack

The camcorder can be powered with a battery pack or directly using the PD-E1 USB Power Adapter.

1 Connect the USB power adapter to the camcorder

and plug the power cord into a power outlet.

2 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder.

• Press the battery pack softly into the battery attachment

unit and slide it forward until it clicks in place.

3 Charging will start when the camcorder is turned off.

• If the camcorder was on, the green POWER/CHG indicator

will go out when you turn off the camcorder. After a

moment, the POWER/CHG indicator will turn on in red

(battery pack charging). The red POWER/CHG indicator will

go out when the battery pack is fully charged.

• If the indicator flashes, refer to

Troubleshooting

(A132).

With the camcorder turned off, press the BATT. INFO button to display for about 5 seconds a screen

showing the approximate battery charge level. Note that if the battery charge is too low, the battery

information screen may not appear.

Using a Power Outlet

You can power the camcorder directly from a power outlet

using the USB power adapter.

1 Plug the USB power adapter into a power outlet.

2 Attach the cable clamp to the grip belt and use it to

secure the cable.

• The ferrite core should be placed between the USB plug

and the cable clamp.

3 Connect the USB plug to the DC IN terminal.

• [DC IN] will be displayed when you turn on the

camcorder.

IMPORTANT

• Do not connect to the USB power adapter any electrical equipment that is not expressly

recommended for use with this camcorder.

• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the USB power adapter. After you turn

off the camcorder, important data is updated on the SD card. Be sure to wait until the green

POWER/CHG indicator goes out.

• When using the USB power adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a

malfunction.

• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the USB power adapter

to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and

ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.

NOTES

• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and

86 °F). If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of

approx. 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.

• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.

• If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG

indicator has gone out before restoring the power supply.

• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the USB power adapter so

the battery pack will not be consumed.

• While recording, it is recommended to attach a battery pack to the camcorder even when the USB

power adapter is connected. This will prevent the camcorder from turning off in case of a power

outage or an accidental disconnection of the cable.

• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or

the day before, to ensure a full charge.

• The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery

pack is completely depleted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed

accurately.

• The camcorder's power consumption may vary depending on the usage conditions. When

recording, it is recommended to prepare a battery charge level that allows for a longer recording

time than planned (2 to 3 times).

• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to

Safety Instructions and Handling

Precautions

(A137).

• For charging times and approximate usage times, refer to

Reference Tables

(A149).

Preparing the Camcorder

19

Preparing the Camcorder

This section covers the basic preparations for the camcorder such as attaching the supplied handle

unit and lens hood, and adjusting the viewfinder and LCD screen.

IMPORTANT

• Be careful not to drop the camcorder when attaching, removing or adjusting the various

accessories. Using a table or other stable surface is recommended.

Attaching the Microphone Holder Unit

Use the supplied screws to attach the microphone holder unit to

the handle unit.

Attaching the Handle Unit

1 Turn off the camcorder and make sure the POWER/CHG indicator has gone out (A23).

2 Slide the front of the handle unit into the accessory

shoe, as shown in the illustration. Then, slide the handle

unit forward all the way.

• Make sure the front and rear screws are raised when you

slide the handle unit.

3 Turn the front screw and two rear screws to secure the

handle unit.

NOTES

• The camcorder is functional even if you remove the handle

unit. However, some audio options (A71), the infrared light

(A82) and tally lamp will not be available.

Preparing the Camcorder

20

Using the Lens Hood

While recording, the supplied lens hood with lens barrier is

effective for reducing stray light that can be the cause of lens

flare and ghost images. Additionally, closing the lens barrier

can help prevent fingerprints and dirt accumulation on the

lens.

1 Remove the lens cap.

2 Align the mark on the lens hood with the lens hood

mount index mark on the bottom of the camcorder

(햲), and then turn the lens hood clockwise until it

stops with a click (햳).

• Be careful not to deform the lens hood.

• Make sure that the lens hood is aligned with the thread.

• To remove the lens hood, turn it counterclockwise.

NOTES

About the lens cap:

• Use the supplied lens cap when carrying the camcorder or storing it after use.

• Note that the lens cap and the lens hood with lens barrier cannot be used simultaneously.

Adjusting the LCD Screen

Open the LCD panel 90 degrees.

• You can rotate the panel downward or toward the lens.

NOTES

• You can adjust the brightness and the backlight level of the LCD screen with the > [£

Display Setup] > [LCD Brightness] or [LCD Backlight] setting respectively. Also, you can hold the

DISP button pressed down for more than 2 seconds to open the [LCD Backlight] setup menu.

• Adjusting the brightness does not affect the brightness of recordings.

• Using a brighter LCD backlight setting will shorten the effective usage time of the battery pack.
