Lens without limits

The XC15 4K incorporates a Canon 4K video lens that leverages proprietary Canon optical technologies derived from years of experience in developing lenses. This 10x wide-angle optical zoom lens offers a focal range of 24.1–241mm for photos and 27.3–273mm for movies.  The use of UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) and Hi-UD lens elements help compensate for chromatic aberrations and provide a compact size - ideal for on-the-go recording. The lens also features separate focus and zoom rings for manual lens control.

Comfortable and functional design

The user interface borrows many of the concepts from the Canon EOS system making the camera intuitive to operate for users familiar with other Canon products. A 3.0-inch 1.03-million-dot tilting LCD monitor provides the Canon XC15 4K UHD Camcorder with a bright, vivid-colour display for shooting and playing back footage. This LCD also integrates a highly advanced capacitive touch-panel for easy fingertip control of all camera functions and settings. The LCD's innovative two-axis parallel hinge mechanism allows the display to be placed in optimal positions for shooting at a variety of angles. The handgrip on the XC15 can be rotated to various positions to allow for comfortable shooting at a variety of camera angles. It also contributes to the camcorder's intuitive user interface with multiple easy-to-see and easy-to-adjust controls based on the familiar UI design of Canon EOS SLR cameras.
