Highlights of the XA25 / XA20
The Canon XA25 / XA20 HD 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.
HD Recording
HD CMOS PRO sensor and DIGIC DV 4
processor
The camcorder is equipped with a
1/2.84-inch CMOS sensor that captures video
at an effective pixel count of approximately
2.91 megapixels (2136x1362). The video is
then processed by the state-of-the-art DIGIC
DV 4 image processor. This allows the
camcorder to excel in low-light situations and
achieve improved image stabilization.
Wide zoom lens
With a focal length at full wide angle of
26.8 mm* (35 mm equivalent), the camcorder
has superb wide-angle shooting capability. The
newly developed lens is also capable of 20x
optical zoom.
* 28.8 mm when using Dynamic IS.
Shoot cinematic video
Using CINEMA mode and the cinema-look
filters (A 52), you can make recordings that
truly look and feel cinematic.
Operability
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 (A 64) will let you shoot in a
variety of situations in the field. The handle unit
is removable so you can detach it when you
need improved portability and then reattach it
when you need extra functionality.
Manual controls at your fingertips
The focus/zoom ring helps you achieve the
focus you are looking for. You can also easily
change the ring's functionality so that you can
operate the zoom. Furthermore, you can
assign certain frequently used functions to a
customizable button and adjust those
functions with the accompanying dial (A 96).
If those were not enough, the camcorder also
features 5 assignable buttons to which you
can assign a variety of functions so that you
can access them with ease (A 97).
Face detection
When a subject's face is detected, the
camcorder can track and focus on it (A 57).
Furthermore, you can have the camcorder in
manual focus but switch to autofocus only
when a face is detected, ensuring that
important subjects are in focus.
Infrared recording
Record in darkness using infrared recording
(A 94). With the built-in infrared light on the
handle unit, you can record nocturnal animals
in their natural environment or other such
scenes.
AVCHD/MP4 recording and dual
recording
When you record, you can choose between
AVCHD and MP4 formats (A 39). You can
also use dual recording (A 49) to record the
same scene to both memory cards and even
record on both memory cards using different
formats. Dual recording is convenient, for
example, to create a backup of your recording.
