    This is a camera that really caught my attention, even during the pandemic it has a relatively low price, high quality, stylish and powerful. But it's still expensive for me...

    Is there anywhere we can download some sample footage? I'm thinking of upgrading from an XA10, and what to know how much better the 1080p footage really is. :)

    I bought the Canon XA40. When recording short clips I can down load it without a problem to my pc, When recording longer clips like 30 minutes or more, I get the message "can't play. Choose something else to play. This item is in a format we don't support. Oxc1010103" The recording plays on the camera itself when I watch it on playback. Why doesn't it download to pc? Please help! PS. I connected camera to pc via USB cable.

    What's the HDMI output specs. Internal is 8bit Prosumer? In what context are you claiming Pro Model, as Broadcast companies only accept 10bit these days? And I take it this is yet another new model without C-Log?

    • @CanonEurope
      @CanonEurope  4 роки тому

      The usual reason a signal can't be received or seen is that the output signal from the camera is not compatible with the receiving device. Perhaps double-check that the external device is actually compatible? Once this is confirmed, please ensure that the HDMII output in the menu is selected for HDMI Max resolution. The output signal from HDMI is YCbCr 4:2:2/8-bit, make the external device accept this.
      To eliminate any problem with the camera, we suggest a standard HDMI-HDMI connection is made. If the signal is present and an image is seen, this will confirm the issue is either with the connector or the external device.
      Hope this helps.

    I just bought an XA40. Love it. Im a professional videographer. I do have a question though.... How many times should i need to turn the focus ring to go from 1.3m to infinity in manual focus mode? When zoomed in tight, it takes me up to 28 turns of the focus ring to go from 1.3m to infinity. Is that normal for this camera?

      @@juscapella6649 You buy an SD to USB adapter for your computer and plug the SD card from the Camera into the adapter its like the Nintendo Game cards, Some cameras also just plug right into your PC with a mini HD to USB cable like your phone. I know I am making it sound complicated but its literally as simple as plugging in a SD card reader into your PC USB port and sticking the SD card from the camera into it then you just find it by typing in "this PC" on Windows or find the devices and drivers tab and it will show up next to your local PC hard drive

    Is there a way to use a laptop as a monitor for the XA40? I can plug the camera into monitors, but I have a situation in which I need to use a laptop to convert from pre-recorded videos to live footage. Even when I connect mini HDMI to HDMI on the laptop, I still can't get the live feed on the laptop.

      I went with the XA40 and it’s an awesome camcorder. Video quality is excellent and since it shoots in 4K I’m sure it’s a little better than the XA11, but it probably isn’t that noticeable. I couldn’t tell the difference in the videos I found online and the XA11 had great reviews as well if you are looking to save a little money. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. Hope this helps.
