Chroma, Area and Y level, plus a level adjust-

ment for softening skin tones, enable the

operator to achieve the most natural results.

Iris: The Iris Limit function can be set from

OFF to f/9.5. With the Canon 20x HD Video

Zoom Lens, the multi-level iris control

becomes available beyond the iris diffraction

f-number (f/9.5) all the way up to closed

(Iris Limit set to OFF). It can also be controlled

using LANC with the optional Canon ZR-2000.

Gain: Gain val-

ues can be fine

tuned in 0.5 dB

increments from

0 to +18 dB,

enabling the

operator to opti-

mise sensitivity

when shooting

in low light.

Additionally,

-3 dB and +36 dB

settings are available. The gain limit can

also be set during AGC, so that levels can

be judiciously adjusted, for example, when

shooting in the dark. While selecting a WB

or Gain setting, a new function ensures

shockless transitions.

Colour Correction: Colour Correction enables

the user to control R or B gain (-6 to +6)

in 16 areas as well as selected colours set

at the Hue, Chroma, Area, Y level while

shooting. Selective Noise Reduction lets

the user apply noise reduction to targeted

colour areas. The Menu selection bar uses

numbers to simplify EVF Setup, Skin

Detail and Colour Correction.

White Balance: The camera's high-precision,

through-the-lens, 128-segment white

balance features an increased adjustment

range of 2,000–15,000° Kelvin. White

subjects are captured white, even in difficult

lighting situations, such as candle light.

Several automatic modes also deliver accu-

rate colour in a variety of shooting situations.

Auto — The camera accurately and

automatically adjusts white balance.

Outdoor — White balance is adjusted for

bright sunlight (5,600° Kelvin).

Indoor — White balance is optimised for

incandescent lighting

(3,200° Kelvin).

Colour Temperature —

White balance can be

selected in 100° Kelvin

intervals in a range of

2,000–15,000° Kelvin.

Program AE

Modes

The camcorder's 7 pre-programmed Auto

Exposure modes cover a wide variety of

shooting situations. Ideal settings produce

top-quality results quickly and easily. To

simplify operation, Manual Mode is located

next to OFF on the Power Dial.

Full Auto: The camera takes over for point-

and-shoot simplicity, setting focus, shutter

speed, aperture, gain, white balance and

AE program shift to achieve ideal results.

Auto: This mode offers all the convenience

of Easy Recording, but allows the operator

the option of manually changing the settings.

Shutter Priority: The user selects the shutter

speed and the camera automatically selects

the proper aperture for correct exposure.

Aperture Priority: The user selects the

lens aperture, and the camera automati -

cally sets the proper shutter speed for

correct exposure.

Manual: This mode allows the user to

select aperture and shutter speed in any

combination. The viewfinder indicates the

relation of selected combinations to the

exposure as metered by the camera.

Spotlight: Perfect for an automatic solu -

tion to a typically tricky situation: when the

subject is illuminated by a concentrated light

source (such as a spotlight) and the back-

ground is relatively dark, this mode auto-

matically adjusts exposure to compensate.

Night: As ambient light levels begin to fall,

the camera uses slower shutter speeds to

achieve optimal image quality.

Viewfinder

The XL H1S and XL H1A are equipped with

a 2.4-inch widescreen combination EVF/

LCD monitor (approx. 215,000 dots) for a

clear, high-resolution image. The XH G1S

and XH A1S provide both an EVF (approx,

269,000 dots) and a separate flip-out 2.8-

inch LCD monitor (approx. 207,000 dots).

Numerous viewing functions are provided

to maximise convenience and boost the

quality of capture. Aspect guides provide

industry-standard picture formats, while

Histogram and EXIF displays offer real-time

brightness information for highly accurate

adjustments. The operator can choose to

display up to 8 characters of the Custom

Preset name and the SDI bit map display

may be turned on or off. All viewfinder

display information can be removed to

leave a clear, unobstructed viewing area.

A Magnifying function (operable with the

Photo button) enlarges the viewfinder

image, making it easier to perform fine

image adjustments. Remaining memory is

displayed when using Focus Enhancements

External Hard Disk Recorders.

Enhanced Operation

Versatility and convenience are hallmarks

of Canon professional camcorders. Still

images can be "grabbed" from footage

either while shooting or during playback.

These images can be saved on the memory

card for subsequent transfer. The camera's

power LED illuminates green when the

camera is powered up and ready. Playback

mode preserves the letterbox format,

allowing an accurately proportioned view

of captured footage. A default write and

protect function prevents accidental deletion.

Marker colours may be specified at the user's

discretion. The camcorders also support

9 languages: German, English, Spanish,

French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Chinese

(simplified) and Japanese.
