of Image Quality

For Peaking, frequency (edge thickness)

and gain (edge density) levels are

adjustable. Two settings can be stored and

recalled quickly with a touch of a button.

Furthermore, by using the included external

component video monitor cable, the opera-

tor can also use peaking and magnifying

controls to check manual focus on a larger

screen, instead of viewing the image

through the viewfinder.

Canon Interchangeable

XL Lens Mount

The XL H1S and XL H1A feature the XL mount

system that boosts shooting range and

flexibility through the use of optional inter-

changeable lenses. The wide-angle Canon

6x HD Video Zoom XL 3.4–20.4mm L lens

(equivalent to 24.5–147mm in 35mm still

photography), for example, is ideal for

applications requiring a wider field-of-view.

This L-series lens incorporates legendary

Canon optical superiority and captures

Canon 6x HD Video Zoom XL 3.4–20.4mm L lens

images with exceptional colour and resolu-

tion, providing full HD clarity and detail.

The XL lens mount also enables the use of

the Extender XL 1.6x, which increases the

focal length by 1.6x. Moreover, the EF

Adapter XL enables users to attach a wide

array of superb Canon EF lenses (L-series

lenses recommended), designed for the

renowned EOS SLR photography system,

for specialised image capture.

SuperRange Optical

Image Stabilizer

Proven Canon Optical Image

Stabilizer technology ensures steadier

images. The system uses a gyro sensor to

detect camera movement and activate a

Vari-Angle Prism to continuously compen-

sate for shake and jitter. The Canon 20x

HD Video Zoom Lens, moreover, effectively

corrects over a wide vibration range

through the use of the latest Canon

SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer

technology. It further improves low-frequency

vibration detection by analysing the image

at the CCD sensor. The result is extraordinary

camera shake correction, even at long

focal lengths.

DIGIC DV II

Image Processor

Engineered and

manufactured

exclusively by

Canon, specifi-

cally for HD, the

latest-generation

DIGIC DV II Image Processor uses propri-

etary algorithms and architectures to

deliver optimal image quality. The

DIGIC DV II Image Processor is optimised

for HD video, operating at 1440 x 1080

pixels with 4:2:2 colour sampling. Colour

reproduction is remarkably natural, espe-

cially in skin tone areas and with dark and

light scenes. A hybrid noise reduction

system employs dual processes to ensure

brilliantly clear HD images.
