• 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS image sensor
• High sensitivity and low noise
• Wide DR Gamma (800%) support
• 15x optical 4K UHD zoom lens
• 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization

• 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS image sensor
  The XA50 professional camcorder features a Canon 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS image sensor capable of 4K UHD video capture at 60p and slow motion recording up to 60fps in Full HD (30 fps in 4K UHD), making the XA50 camcorder a strong contender for professional productions, creative fields and more.
• High sensitivity and low noise
  The XA50 camcorder’s 1.0-inch sensor allows for larger photo sites compared to smaller-sized sensors, resulting in improved images with less noise in low-light situations. The larger sensor also exhibits a shallower depth of field at large apertures, providing greater depth of field control and creative options. The camcorder’s DiG!C DV 6 imaging engine further enhances the high sensitivity and low noise performance of the camcorder.
• Wide DR Gamma (800%) support
  For natural and realistic-looking image capture that faithfully represents the scene at hand, Wide DR Gamma achieves a wide dynamic range of 800% to produce almost seamless tone gradations, resulting in smooth detail, accurate color and virtually no blown-out highlights.
• 15x optical 4K UHD zoom lens
  Inspired by the same high level of optical precision used in Canon broadcast and photographic lenses, the Canon XA50 camcorder incorporates a genuine Canon 15x optical zoom lens that maintains 4K UHD quality throughout the entire zoom range, and offers a focal length range of 25.5 to 382.5mm (35mm film equivalent). Users can get up to 30x Advanced Zoom when shooting in Full HD, which utilizes the XA50 camcorder’s full 4K UHD sensor to extend the zoom range while maintaining image quality.
• 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization
  The XA50 camcorder also incorporates a 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization (IS) system. The camcorder features three modes of image stabilization: Standard, Dynamic and Powered. In Standard IS mode, the stabilizing angle is made constant independent of the zoom magnification. Dynamic IS mode extends the stabilizing range at the wide end of the focal length, allowing for image stabilization when shooting while walking. Powered IS mode helps facilitate stabilization in the low frequency range at the tele end, and should be used exclusively for fixed-point shooting which does not involve panning.
