Ideal for Emerging and Existing Content
Creators, the Canon XC10 Camcorder is Compact, Lightweight and
Versatile with 4K/Full HD Video Shooting and 12-Megapixel Still
Photography Capabilities
Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is
proud to introduce the new XC10 4K Digital Camcorder. Compact,
lightweight and versatile, the XC10 is designed to deliver stunning
4K and Full HD video as well as compelling 12-Megapixel still
images. The camcorder also has a built-in function to extract eight
megapixel still images from recorded 4K video, making it one of
Canon’s most convenient multimedia tools to date. In addition to
the camcorder’s 4K and Full HD video capture capabilities, the XC10
camcorder includes a one-inch 12-megapixel CMOS sensor, with a 10x
Wide-Angle Zoom Lens with a 2x Digital Teleconverter and Optical
Image Stabilization allowing for rock-steady video and still image
shooting. This new digital camcorder is ideal for creative
individuals and professionals who are interested in cost effective
4K video production, as well as multimedia journalists and news
agencies looking to easily expand into 4K Electronic News Gathering
(ENG) coverage.
“With the introduction of the XC10 4K Digital Camcorder, we are
looking to deliver a robust new camcorder that will allow for an
ever expanding creative expression. Enabling the virtually seamless
capture of stunning 4K video with the added convenience of still
image capture and 4K frame extraction, XC10 users are empowered
with multiple ways to share their artistic visions,” said Yuichi
Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
Newly Developed 4K Imaging
System
The XC10 Digital Camcorder’s 12-Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor
delivers up to 12 stops of dynamic range for impressive detail in
both highlights and lowlights, whether the user is shooting video
or still photos. The camcorder’s 10x Wide-Angle Zoom Lens offers a
35mm-equivalent zoom ratio of 24.1-241mm for still photos and
27.3-273mm for movies while remaining compact as a result of the
use of two UD lens elements, two Hi-UD lens elements, and
three-surface, 2-piece aspherical lens.
The XC10 camcorder incorporates Canon’s advanced and proprietary
DIGIC DV5 signal processor to support in-camera 4K video
acquisition and 5-axis image stabilization (full HD only) as well
as slow and fast motion recording. To help ensure that both video
and photo image quality is at its highest standard throughout the
entire workflow, the XC10 uses two new codecs. When recording 4K,
the high image quality XF-AVC Intra codec is used, and for Full HD
recording XF-AVC Long GOP is used to maintain outstanding image
quality and efficient data rates. The XC10 camcorder can record in
Canon Log Gamma, Wide DR or EOS Standard picture modes for
increased versatility in color correction, and allows for greater
ease in matching looks with footage from other cameras within the
Cinema EOS camera system.
Advanced Operability and Shooting
Modes
Operability innovations are designed into the Canon XC10 4K
Digital Camcorder to further facilitate creative expression and the
ability to capture superb 4K and HD video as well as
high-resolution still images. A dedicated focusing ring and a
conveniently placed Push AF button allow for reliable manual
focusing operation, while a Continuous AF mode with Face Detection
lets users shoot confidently in challenging shooting environments,
knowing that the camcorder can hold critical focus while tracking
subject movement.
The XC10 camcorder has dedicated microphone and headphone jacks
along with a built-in microphone for professional sound monitoring.
A Vari-Angle LCD monitor featuring a capacitive touch-panel for
simple intuitive control is paired with a rotating hand grip to
maximize users’ ability to shoot both movies and still images from
virtually any angle. The XC10 camcorder also incorporates built-in
dual-band 5GHz and 2.4 GHz wireless networks to provide remote
camcorder operability through a web browser, a compatible
smartphone or a tablet. The wireless function also provides browser
previewing of recorded images without the need to remove media from
the camcorder. For added convenience, the XC10 can be used
hand-held or with camera-support accessories, such as
ultra-low-angle car mounts or even drones.
Offering slow- and fast-motion recording, multiple picture
settings with a variety of looks, and interval shooting for
time-lapse still photography, the Canon XC10 4K Digital Camcorder
records cinematic H.264 4:2:2/8-bit MXF 4K (UHD) 3840 x 2160 movies
to an internal CFast™ card or Full HD 1920 x 1080 video to an SD
card at multiple frame rates up to a maximum of 305Mbps/29.97P in
4K and 50Mbps/59.94P in Full HD. The XC10 also offers 12-stop
dynamic range Canon Log recording and 4K 30p movie playback via its
HDMI 1.4 output port to further support many different workflow
options.
The XC10 camcorder’s still-photography features include a
mechanical shutter to help eliminate rolling-shutter distortion, up
to 3.8 frames-per-second performance, support for multiple aspect
ratios, and compatibility with EOS system accessories such as the
popular Battery Pack LP-E6N, Speedlite flash units, Canon GPS
receivers, and remote controllers. The new camcorder features a
built-in ND filter, and ISO speeds can be set from 160 to 20,000
for exceptional flexibility in a wide range of lighting conditions.
Optional Canon accessories include a Direct Viewfinder for
eye-level shooting in bright conditions.
Outstanding Performance, Compact
Size
In addition to all of the performance features, the compact size
and weight of the XC10 digital camcorder is one of its most
valuable assets. Measuring less than five inches in every dimension
(approx. 4.9 x 4.0 x 4.8 inches, WxHxD) and weighing just 2.3
pounds fully loaded with an LP-E6 battery pack and two memory
cards, the XC10 is designed for maximum mobility and shooting
comfort.
Pricing and Availability
The Canon XC10 4K Digital Camcorder is scheduled to be available
in June 2015 for an estimated retail price of $2,499.00 with
SanDisk 64GB CFast™ 2.0 card and card reader. For more information
