Canon XA65 4K UHD Compact Camera

Shoot high quality 4K UHD video with the compact XA65. The camera delivers outstanding oversampled HD, advanced autofocus, a Canon 20x optical zoom lens, HD livestreaming with UVC1 via a USB-C connection to a PC or Mac and can capture footage for recording or sharing later in either XF-AVC or MP4 formats.

Compact professional 4K UHD camcorder

Capture stunning 4K UHD and Full HD images thanks to a 4K 1/2.3" type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 image processor. Oversampled HD delivers Full HD images from the 4K sensor.

On-Screen Display (OSD) “Time Stamp” Recording

New to XA-Series cameras, the OSD recording embeds date, time, timecode, and other data into your original camera files effectively “time stamping” the information into each frame of video, a requirement for legal and law enforcement videographers.

UVC Livestreaming

Stream HD video directly from the camera via UVC 1 to a PC or Mac computer.

Professional audio controls

Two XLR terminals on a detachable handle plus 4-channel linear PCM bring a suite of pro audio options.

4K 20x optical zoom lens

The Canon lens covers a 29.3mm wide angle (35mm equivalent) with a powerful 612mm reach. Digital zoom boosts the 20x optical zoom to 800x magnification. To minimize camera shake, the camera provides Canon’s Dynamic IS 5-axis image stabilization.

Fast, precise focusing with face detection

Adjustable focusing speeds and advanced Hybrid AF system provide fast and precise focusing. Use the ultra-bright high-resolution 3.5-inch LCD display to set focus by touching the AF point on the screen. Face Detection AF and Face Tracking are available while Manual Focus is set via the focus/zoom ring.

XF-AVC and MP4 for flexible recording

Choose from XF-AVC or MP4 recording formats. Record XF-AVC 4K UHD 160Mbps at 30P and Full HD 45Mbps at 60P/60i/30P/24P. For smaller files, record MP4 in 4K 150Mbps at 30P/24P and Full HD 35Mbps or 17Mbps at 60P/30/24P.
