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

The OSD recording feature embeds date, time, timecode and other data into the original camera files, effectively "time stamping" the information into each frame of video, a requirement for legal and law enforcement videographers. For projects that require the date and time to be visible in the image, the camera will be able to include that information in the on-screen display while recording.

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 XA65's lens covers a 29.3 – 601mm (35mm equivalent) range. 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.
