Canon XA60 Professional UHD 4K Camcorder

The black and white setting on the Canon XA60 Professional UHD 4K Camcorder is a desaturated color image.

The Canon XA60 Professional UHD 4K Camcorder's default zoom speed is variable, depending on the amount of finger pressure. You can change this in the menu to a constant speed.

Yes, the Canon XA60 Professional UHD 4K Camcorder would be a great option for recording lectures as it has face detection for autofocus. When connected to AC power, the camera only has a recording limit of the size of your chosen SD card. When recording in a 3840 x 2160 resolution in an XF-AVC codec on a 128GB SD card, one could expect up to 105 minutes of recording time until that SD card is full. You can also record with Relay Recording, in which if an SD card in one slot is filled, the camera will continue recording onto the second slot, extending your recording time.

The 3.5mm input on the Canon XA60 is an input, not an output. You can run audio from the Rodecaster Pro II into the Camera but not the other way around. You cannot plug the Canon XA60 directly to my Rodecaster Pro 2 combo input jack via the XLR audio input.

The Canon XA60 is better with low light than XA20. The XA20 handle is not compatible with the XA60. For the best low light operation, using the XA70 or XA75 with the 1" sensor will render the best results.

The Canon XA65 produces nor receives power with the USB C port. For long shoots where there is no electricity, additional batteries can be purchased or you can use a V-mount brick style battery with something like the Kondor Blue SPARK 150 D-Tap to AC Power Inverter Wall Plu, combined with the AC adapter.

The Canon WD-H58W Wide Converter Lens for Select Canon HD Camcorders is the best wide angle lens adapter, for the Canon XA65.

The HDMI out on the Canon XA60 Professional UHD 4K Camecorder can output a UHD 4K signal, in playback mode only. While in recording mode, the camera will only be able to output 1080p quality through its HDMI.
