To anyone that might see this to access slow motion you go under recording settings in menu and click on fast and slow motion. If you want to access slow motion in 4k drop your frame rate from 29.97 p to 23.98 (which is the lowest) to record in 0.8 but if want to record even slower drop the resolution and frame even lower for the functions 0.5 or 0.4

I just picked one of these up for a song and a short one at that. Thank you for the demo!

[@JimKinkade]

Nice! 👍 I am a camcorder man myself.

XA50 is great. I shot a fiction feature with it (see trailer at my channel). Getting great reviews for it, and good comments about the visuals.

[@willyplays9031]

Thanks for your comment, i really like your movie :)

[@BigOvlogger]

I have the Canon XA50. I use MP4 150mbps 29.97p high dynamic range. I use the internal mic because it is good.

[@universemediallc]

That's some serious zoom...

Vielen Dank für diesez sehr informative Video, gut erklärt! Abo da gelassen.

[@willyplays9031]

Danke für das nette Feedback!

[@mediacreationsusa]

the biggest difference between the two is the LCD screen - I own both and some other Canon cameras and it is a big difference - if the XA70 shot in 4k60 I would just buy 5 of them and be done lol

I purchased the XA75 recently. I use a Rode NTG1 XLR microphone and find handling noise travels through camera body into microphone audio.

[@willyplays9031]

The ntg1 is a Supercardioid mic. It shouldnt pic Up Sound from the sides. But it can Pick Up Sound from directly behind it. Maybe thats the source? The damping between mic holder and cambody is quite good i think. Maybe a stiff xlr cable? Maybe use a more flexible one... When the sorrounding is very quiet i guess you Will always hear a little bit of it....

​@willyplays9031 I found a good little cheese plate to mount on shoe for accessories like a LED light and larger screen.
I posted a link on here but I think TH-cam removed it.
If you Google search HDR dslr cheese top mounting plate.
It has a sliding shoe mount and has been the best fit so far.

[@mediacreationsusa]

You should use a long shotgun mic if you are doing handheld work... I have a stereo shotgun by Sony that is a really nice mic I own 3 of them actually I like it that much - it can be dual mono or true stereo, but doesn't pick up anything behind the mic at all... and it's not too too long like some of my others...

[@BrucieNZ]

@@mediacreationsusa I've moved the Rode NTG1 further forward in the camera mount and loosened it also. It seems to have helped.

[@mediacreationsusa]

@@BrucieNZ Oh good deal - yeah sometimes that makes all the difference!

[@johnkelliher4292]

Thanks for sharing your video and all the info, what is the performance/Quality in low light

[@willyplays9031]

I dont use it that much in dark conditions, to be honest, but i never encountered bad visible noise in my footage. Maybee i will make another Video looking at the Video quality more in Detail

[@iamthewell]

What is the shotgun microphone that you have mounted on the camera? I am looking for one but the microphone needs to be 19 to 20mm in diameter.

[@willyplays9031]

Its an Audio-Technica AT875R

[@Puxi]

Kann der auch 60hz in 4k oder nur der Europa Standard 50hz?

[@willyplays9031]

Die XA50/70 können 4k nur in 25p aufnehmen. HD in 25 und 50p. Wieviel Hz die Monitore haben weiß ich nicht.

[@Clipscharly]

I think it's a nice video in itself, but man, you're acting nervous. Keep the camera steady, turn it around slowly and it will still be fun to watch, which is a pity.
