Optical Image Stabilizer - Canon XL 1 Brochure

Genuine Canon Optics: 11x Optical Zoom
Lens (44-220x Digital Zoom)
What sets a Canon camcorder apart from all the others? It's the
only camcorder made by a company renowned for high-quality
professional optics. Our vast expertise in designing and
crafting precision lenses for 35mm and broadcast TV cameras
also goes into every camcorder lens we make. The
OPTURA 's optical zoom lens delivers superb definition and
contrast, taking full advantage of the DV format. The digital
zoom extends the camcorder's magnification revealing details
too small to see with the naked eye.

Optical Image Stabilizer

Canon utilizes the finest method of image stabilization
available: optical. Canon's lens design includes a dedicated
optical element that preserves image quality so your videos
always look smooth, steady, and natural..whether shooting
hand-held at full telephoto or from a moving vehicle. The optical
method perfectly compliments the camcorder's outstanding
image quality and offers superior
shake reduction when light levels
are low or while zooming. Image
stabilization is even effective
while shooting digital photos.

Program Auto Exposure
While the Easy Recording mode is fine for most
shooting situations, the camcorder also includes
additional pre-programmed auto exposure modes (Auto,
Shutter-Priority (Tv), Aperture-Priority (Av), Spotlight, Sand &
Snow, Night and Super Night mode), each carefully designed
to give you the best possible image results under special
shooting conditions. The Tv and Av modes permit easy
operation while retaining the creative image controls. In the Tv
mode, you can select a shutter speed from 1/8 to 1/2000* and
the camcorder stets a matching aperture. In the Av mode,
select an aperture from f/1.6 to f/8** and the camcorder
automatically sets a matching shutter speed.

Night Mode and Super Night Mode
Even when the light has faded, you can keep on shooting with
the OPTURA 's Night and Super Night mode. The camcorder
uses the Night mode to select the ideal shutter speed and
sensitivity combination to brighten up the scene, without
sacrificing color. In the Super Night mode, the assist lamp
lights up to illuminate the subject allowing you to capture the
action without turning the lights on.
