WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.400

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:12.240
the canon xa10 hd camcorder so we are

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.080

camcorder that we use for shooting ncix tech tips this is an

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.520
sd sdhc sd xc

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:28.320
um camcorder so what it means is we're recording completely onto solid state

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:33.200

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.280
um all right what do we got here so this is

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:42.960

oh a transfer utility so yeah we're

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:51.280
finally replacing the ncix tech tips camera i'm so stoked

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:56.079
this is a much higher quality much higher caliber of camera than what we've

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:00.079
used in the past okay we got a transfer utility here

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:06.000
we got um camcorder music data image mix data disk

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:10.080

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.040
benefits from canon okay uh canon professional services transfer

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:21.040
utility installation guide woohoo instruction manual so this is like thick

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:24.240
this is a big old instruction manual one third of it is english so it shows you

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:30.159
how to change the timeline you know what let me see if i can find something with the general uh specs of the unit so that

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:33.600
i have something to refer to because i haven't really looked at any information

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:39.360
about it since i pre-ordered it which was like two months ago uh it's taken a

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:44.400
really long time to come in stock okay so here's the highlights of the xa10 so

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:49.680
i'm gonna put that aside for myself to refer back to and let's start finding

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.040
some accessories and whatnots here okay

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.360
oh my goodness i don't even know where to begin with this okay this looks like

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.640
a battery pack we're just gonna like open stuff up

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:02.640
because we're gonna be using this camera today hopefully yeah intelligent

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:05.119
lithium-ion battery you see that okay okay

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:10.959
all right what do we got next next we have a

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.520
remote wireless controller okay

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:18.319
next we have some screws

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.440
okay those are mounting screws for something in all likelihood another

00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:24.879
little battery

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:29.040
okay some kind of little clip i better not

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:32.720
lose any of this stuff looks like there's some assembly

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:37.599
required here folks here's the lens cover thing put that on

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:41.920
the end of the camera excellent okay what do we got here uh power brick

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:47.599
and uh this garbage is gonna start blowing away if i don't find something

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:50.480
to do with it so here you can look at the power brick while i figure out what

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:53.360
to do with my garbage i'm just gonna put it in my pocket for now i think okay

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.440
okay we're good so power brick

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:01.280
uh power cord nothing really exciting there okay now we're getting into some

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.920
cables so our first cable is a component out

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:10.000
cable so that uses a little interface on the

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:14.159
camera outputs component for monitoring what you're doing

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:20.400
all right next we got so this is where our

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:22.560
looks like our mics plug into

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:26.640
so we have two channels there little buttons to eject them we've been

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.560
using like a consumer level camera up until now oh look at all this

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.480
so we can like change it and stuff cameraman probably

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.360
knows a lot better than me what all of this does because i'm kind of a camera

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.040
idiot but that's a zoom right that's zoom yeah he's giving me the indication

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:48.640
that that is indeed zoom some kind of lock start stop oh okay now it's not

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:51.360
locked sweet so here's a shoe for um i

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:55.920
don't know flash whatever it is it looks good love it

00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:00.799
okay next we have

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.959
this some other kind of more different

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.959
bracket

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.439
it's got like soft rubber on it here and here

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.920
hold something okay

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:21.359
look cameras are not my strong point guys you wanted to see a professional camera

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:26.479
unboxing go somewhere else this is just me unboxing my new toy okay

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:32.960
usb 2 for transferring files and finally composite output from the

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:36.000
camera itself so that's just your um

00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:39.040
single video and then stereo audio so

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:42.160
now i have the xa10 camera

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.080
which is safely packaged inside bubble

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:48.800
wrap it's actually really small i was expecting it to be a little bit bigger

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:52.240
so uh here why don't i just read off the packaging what some of the key features

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:57.440
are ham highlights of the xa10 hd recording with

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:05.199
a uh digit dv3 processor cool okay one third

00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:09.759
inch cmos sensor that captures video it infects a pixel count of approximately

00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:12.960
2.07 megapixels which is 1080p okay wide zoom lens with a focal length

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:16.160
at full at wide angle of 30.4 you know i'm just

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:21.600
going to hold this out here and cameraman can look at it because he knows what's interesting and i don't

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.199
uh emphasis on versatility manual controls at your fingertips face

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.479
detection infrared recording ooh in the dark so we can do like uh night tech

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:35.600
tips uh relay recording and double slot recording so when your sd card is full

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.560
you can just um oh simultaneously to two memory cards which is a convenient way

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:42.000
to back up your recordings interesting or you can record to one

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.680
then the other and just swap memory cards as you go so that you can record

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:49.280
without interruption other features audio you can use the

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:54.479
built-in microphone mic audio input terminal or the two xlr audio input

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.320
terminals when recording lcd screen and viewfinder why don't we have a look at

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:02.400
that 100 frame coverage which ensure that you can accurately check that your

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:06.560
shots are framed how you want them so let's just go ahead and open that up

00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:10.560
nice big wide screen you know what let's see if the uh battery pack has any

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.440
charge on it sometimes they do you never know

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.080
okay let's uh figure out where the button is to do the

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.800
thing oh okay hold on maybe i can mount this too

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:25.199
so ah so this goes on here

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.479
so that's pretty straightforward oh no no it slides in here first so you slide

00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:34.160
in like lift this up

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.680
lift these up

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.199
slide in like that once you have them lifted up

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:43.840
sufficiently there we go put that back in there

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:48.039
make sure it's making good contact screw these bad boys in

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.639
new tech tips camera okay gotta get them lined up before

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:58.240
they'll screw in that makes sense that's very intuitive

00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:02.479
okay got that there

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.520
so yeah i don't even know what that thing is up there but

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:12.240
so we assembled it a little bit now uh we did not put the microphone holder on

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:16.000
since i do use a lapel mic that mounts right here so uh yeah we won't be using

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:20.240
that at all we'll just be using our little wireless unit and then let's uh

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.160
it's not charged at all so i can't really show you guys any of that we got

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:27.039
powered image stabilization got our touch screen here that little piece that

00:07:25.919 --> 00:07:30.800
i couldn't figure out what it was that's a stylus so we won't be using that in

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.800
all likelihood okay here we can switch between uh playback and recording mode

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:39.440
here's where the sd cards go pretty sweet

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.199
yeah yeah infrared on and off it's very

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:45.919
ergonomic i'll tell you guys that much like the the feel of it is very nice so

00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:50.479
i can very easily reach the zoom controls up here slides very smoothly so

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:54.080
that'll be good for nice smooth zoom shots from cameraman here's the

00:07:52.479 --> 00:08:00.560
viewfinder if we're not using an external display which we in all likelihood will be using this is

00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:02.560
something no idea okay start stop uh

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:07.680
here we can change between a few different modes manual auto and cinema

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:12.479
oh i think this is focus right is that focus yeah cameraman says that's focus

00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:13.840
so we have manual focus now high

00:08:12.479 --> 00:08:19.680
technology for ncix tech tips

00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:21.440
and uh i think that's pretty much it so

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:26.479
oh okay okay okay we have to do one more shot here we have to do one more shot okay here give me give me this give me

00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:29.840
this okay cameraman has to hold the camera and then i'm gonna show you guys

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:34.479
a glimpse of the cameraman this is what it looks like when he's

00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:39.120
holding a camera thanks for checking out this unboxing online as tech tips don't
