I just started a new job, and it looks like they will be having me shoot video with their camera (Canon XA10). I'm going through some online tutorials to familiarize myself with this equipment, but I have two questions that I'd like to ask the commun...
For the past 5 months, I've been using a Canon Vixia HF R800 as a webcam using an Elgato Cam Link. It's been working great, but randomly today when I turned it on, the colors are all purple, and there are lines going down the frame. I don't know what...
Hey Canon brain trust. I've been using Canon's for years. I have an HF G20 we use for streaming with our church service. For some reason I can save my settings to an SD card. However, it never stores the setting for exposure so every time we power...
Hi folks, Sorry to ask a couple of questions all at once. I picked up a HDMI to USB video intake capture card for the Canon Vixia HF R800. I was somewhat amazed to see that it actually worked out of the box! I use Ubuntu Linux and it nevertheless cap...
So I'm guessing that if there are HDMI -> USB converters that can work with the Vixia HF 800 to allow it to be used as a webcam that there are probably wireless HDMI pairs and HDMI -> USB systems that would get the job done too. Has anybody used one ...
If an audio input offers two channels (say, a dual wireless system) then ... is it possible to capture these separately into the Vixia HF R800. Or is everything ultimately mixed down into one track?
Hi, on my G40 I was always wondering why the camera wasn't connecting to my wifi network. Ever thought it was a bugged firmware or so. Today I got my GX10 and the problem is exactly the same. conencting directly to the camera works... but if I want t...
I've been streaming live video through my Vixia HF G10 for the last year. Recently it has started to fail to send a signal through the miniHDMI out (or the capture card has failed to recognize it). I have noticed that when I connect my Vixia HF G10 t...
I came across this thread about piping in two external mics to the Canon Vixia HF R800 on these forums here. The question was: how can you record two (or more) external mics into the HF R800 when it only has one external mic input? The advice from o...
Help!My Vixia HF20 will not recognize that it is plugged in with the wall charger. I've tried changing batteries (didn't change) and I tested the wall charger to confirm it is putting out the stated DC voltage. The camera has been in its case and u...
I have both of these cameras and use them for live streaming and more traditional filming jobs. I chose them mostly for their ease of use, good sound capability and picture quality. With good lighting the 1" sensor on these cameras gives excellent re...
Hi all,Does anyone have a quick fix for the battery connection or is it strictly a repair item? When power is on, the slighted lift or bump on the battery shuts down the camera down.
So perhaps I was just unlucky, but I had enormous difficulty finding a gimbal that would work with the Canon Vixia HF R800. I wasn't looking for somethign that would work as in be compatible with the record feature on the gimbal. Just something that ...
I have had it for years, always reliable. Latey If i record lets say 25 minutes. when I pull out the 32 gig card, instead of one file of the continuos video, it has it in 2 files. What am I doing wrong. Thanks
Does anybody know of an underwater case that's compatible with the Vixia HF R800?
