Compactness and performance<\/b><\/p>\n

The Canon XA45<\/b>\u00a0is a very compact camcorder weighing about\u00a0730g<\/b>\u00a0(body only).\u00a0Even so, with a 1 \/ 2.3-inch CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 image processor, it delivers crisp and stunning\u00a04K UHD<\/b>\u00a0and Full HD oversampling\u00a0video to\u00a0meet the growing demand for quality content.<\/p>\n

Unlike the\u00a0XA15<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0XA11, the<\/b>\u00a0new camera supports the professional\u00a0XF-AVC<\/b>\u00a0recording format\u00a0, enriching the workflow with additional metadata that enhances post-production capabilities.\u00a0The camcorder supports\u00a04K UHD XF AVC<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0Full HD<\/b>\u00a0recording at a maximum bit rate of 160 Mbps at 25p and 45 Mbps when recording in\u00a0Full HD<\/b>\u00a0.\u00a0Camcorders such as the\u00a0Canon XA45<\/b>\u00a0are helping to create the\u00a04K<\/b>\u00a0content of the future while\u00a0accommodating the<\/b>\u00a0continuing demand for\u00a0Full HD<\/b>\u00a0.\u00a0Canon XA45<\/b>\u00a0mode\u00a0Full HD<\/b>offers frame rates of 25p, 50p and 50i.\u00a0If the deadline for content delivery is limited, and it is unacceptable to sacrifice quality, you can record\u00a04K \/ UHD<\/b>\u00a0video\u00a0to an SD card using the\u00a0MP4<\/b>\u00a0codec\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The perfect broadcast tool<\/b><\/p>\n

2020 is marked by the proliferation of live broadcasts in a wide variety of industries.\u00a0With the shift to remote mode, the educational and corporate sectors are increasingly demanding reliable equipment for high-quality filming and broadcasting.\u00a0The Canon XA45 camcorder is capable of meeting this challenge thanks to its\u00a03G-SDI<\/b>\u00a0port\u00a0.\u00a0However, with the ability to choose between SDI and HDMI outputs, the\u00a0Canon XA45<\/b>\u00a0can be easily integrated into a variety of live\u00a0production<\/b>\u00a0systems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perfect optics<\/b><\/p>\n

The Canon XA45<\/b>\u00a0features a high-quality 20x optical zoom and an impressive zoom ratio for such a compact camcorder: focal lengths range from 29.3mm at widest angle to 601mm telephoto (35mm equivalent).\u00a0The zoom can be increased even further with the built-in 2x tele-converter.\u00a0Digital zoom up to 400x allows you to shoot from a distance that would otherwise be impossible to shoot.\u00a0The\u00a0Canon XA45<\/b>\u00a0has three image stabilization modes: standard, dynamic and boosted.\u00a0With their help, you can prevent blur in the frame under any shooting conditions.<\/p>\n

In December 2020, Canon released a firmware update for its line of camcorders, including the\u00a0XF405 \/ XF400, XA40 \/ XA45, XA55 \/ XA50<\/i>\u00a0, and the\u00a0LEGRIA HF G60<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0HF G50<\/i>\u00a0.\u00a0With this update, the\u00a0Canon XA45 camcorder<\/b>\u00a0supports Custom Picture Adjustment, a feature that adjusts parameters such as sharpness, saturation, skin tone and noise reduction.\u00a0All of these features give the operator even more creative freedom.\u00a0In addition, for increased convenience, you can assign additional functions to the soft buttons, such as a zebra pattern, focus area and mark illumination.<\/p>\n

Various audio recording modes<\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Canon XA45 camcorder<\/b>\u00a0delivers professional quality audio.\u00a0The detachable handle has two standard 3-pin\u00a0XLR connectors<\/b>\u00a0, allowing you to connect external microphones and record 2- or 4-channel audio.\u00a0In addition, the camera provides in-line, microphone and 48 V phantom power connectors, as well as a built-in stereo microphone and a standard 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack for external microphone.<\/p>\n
