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.
