KEY FEATURES / TECHNOLOGY
The XA25 features built-in dual-band (5 GHz/2.4 GHz) Wi-Fi
®
technology,
enabling FTP file transfer to Cloud-based servers for convenient back ups,
or for situations where a relay station, such as a news truck, is unavail-
able. The dual bands help ensure that data can be sent even in areas with
increased signal interference. It is also possible to connect to compatible
networks, wireless hotspots and iOS
®
mobile devices using the free Canon Movie
Uploader app*, or play back video on the camcorders’ memory cards to
Wi-Fi
®
-enabled TVs and computers.
Wi-Fi
®
technology also allows remote control of key camcorder controls,
such as recording start/stop and zoom (in three different speeds), exposure
functions (white balance, color temperature, iris, shutter speed, gain, expo-
sure and more) and focus settings via a tablet or smartphone. The ability to
control the camera remotely, such as when using a camera crane, improves
mobility in various shooting environments.
