The camcorder includes an HDMI 2.0 terminal with 4K UHD output support, an adjustable 3.5-inch touch panel LCD monitor, a built-in 0.24-inch electronic viewfinder and accessory shoe support, enhancing usability and allowing the VIXIA GX10 to operate in a variety of shooting situations. Whether you are a video enthusiast or aspiring professional, the VIXIA GX10 is equipped to meet your needs.

1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS Image Sensor 

The VIXIA GX10 camcorder features a Canon 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS image sensor capable of 4K UHD video capture at 60p and slow motion recording up to 120fps in Full HD, making the VIXIA GX10 camcorder a strong contender for professional productions, creative fields and more.
The VIXIA GX10 camcorder’s 1.0-inch sensor allows for larger photosites compared to smaller-sized sensors, resulting in improved images with less noise in low-light situations. The larger sensor also exhibits a shallower depth of field at large apertures, providing greater depth of field control and creative options. The camcorder’s new DIGIC DV 6 imaging engine further enhances the high sensitivity and low noise performance of the camcorder.

15x Optical 4K UHD Zoom Lens with 5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization

 

The VIXIA GX10 camcorder incorporates a Canon 4K video lens that leverages proprietary Canon optical technologies derived from years of experience in developing Cinema, Broadcast and EF series lenses. Inspired by the same high level of optical precision used in Canon broadcast and photographic lenses, the VIXIA GX10 camcorder incorporates a Genuine Canon 15x optical zoom lens that maintains 4K UHD quality throughout the entire zoom range, and offers a focal length range of 25.5 to 382.5mm (35mm film equivalent). Users can get up to 30x Advanced Zoom when shooting in Full HD, which utilizes the VIXIA GX10 camcorder’s full 4K UHD sensor to extend the zoom range while maintaining image quality.

 

The optional Wide Attachment WA-U58 and the Tele Converter TL-U58 accessories expand the creative capabilities of the VIXIA GX10 camcorder.

The Wide Attachment WA-U58 offers a 0.8x wider angle of view that enables users to capture more of a scene, especially when indoors or in tight spaces, to lend better perspective to your video narrative. The Tele Converter TL-U58 provides extended 1.5x longer telephoto range for the VIXIA GX10 camcorder’s fixed lens, allowing distant subjects to be captured with brilliant clarity.

The VIXIA GX10 camcorder incorporates Canon’s dual DIGIC DV 6 Image Processors, which are integral in providing high image quality, advanced performance and convenient operability. This advanced core technology component provides the image-processing power and speed that enables features such as 4K UHD video acquisition, image stabilization, slow and fast motion recording and precise Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

The VIXIA GX10 camcorder features Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Canon’s exclusively developed high-speed, high-precision autofocus technology. Dual Pixel CMOS AF assists not only with standard shooting, but also with 4K UHD 60p, Full HD 120p and other high-frame rate applications that require crisp frame-by-frame accuracy.

Each pixel in the camcorder’s CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at each photosite. By implementing phase-difference AF, smooth focusing is accomplished with much higher speed and accuracy than was possible with previous technologies.

The Face Detection AF feature has two modes – Face Priority AF and Face Only AF – that offer users precise flexibility in how they choose their autofocus for a subject or scene.

Utilizing information from Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Dual Pixel Focus Guide helps achieve precise focus by displaying focus assist information on the screen. It employs a truly innovative user interface that enables the user to see if they are focused in front of or behind the subject through visual observation, and allows quick and accurate manual focus to be achieved. This helps simplify the focusing process when shooting in 4K UHD, which requires strict focus accuracy. 

Simultaneous or relay recording in MP4 format to the VIXIA GX10 camcorder’s dual SD card slots is possible.

Simultaneous recording allows you to record on both SD cards at the same time, so that you can use one as a backup.

Relay recording allows uninterrupted recording from one card to the other when the first memory card becomes full.

The VIXIA GX10 camcorder features a 3.5-inch Touch Panel LCD and a newly designed 0.24-inch Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). The Touch Panel LCD and EVF both display approximately 1.56 million dots and provide visual recognition of desired features along with a full array of menu options for controlling camcorder settings. The Touch Panel LCD works with Canon’s exclusive AF technologies for easy monitoring and one-finger tap-focusing during shooting and the EVF offers 60° of tilt for more comfortable operation in a variety of positions.

The VIXIA GX10 camcorder features an HDMI 2.0 terminal that supports 4K UHD 60p output. The HDMI 2.0 terminal allows the camcorder to be connected to a standard external SSD/HDD recorder, enabling conversion to ProRes and DNx formats for efficient editing and storage.

The VIXIA GX10 packs all of the ergonomic comfort and capabilities required for a valuable, handheld camcorder into a compact and lightweight body. This makes it useful for a wide variety of applications from professional productions to personal projects.

** Includes lens hood, Battery Pack BP-828 and 1 memory card.

The VIXIA GX10 camcorder offers wireless connectivity to enable recorded files to be shared and transmitted back to the station or home base via FTP for editing or live streaming.

The camcorder can also be accessed remotely from a normal web browser running on a laptop or a compatible smart device to control functions such as record start/stop, AF/MF switching, focus/zoom settings and white balance mode***. Background transfer of MP4 format video files via FTP links is also possible, enabling the latest recordings to be distributed quickly over the Internet.

*** Compatible with iOS® versions 9/10, Android™ smartphone and tablet versions 4.4/5.0/5.1/6.0.
