XL1 conforms
to the new digital video
'_"'I_,"
standard
to give you outstanding
picture quality.
It is fitted with a DV terminal
for digital-to-digital
dubbing
(IEEE 1394 standard).
A super-flexible system with an unbeatable range.
XL1 maximizes your options with a focal range of
between 24 and 2160 mm (35mm camera
equivalents), made possible through the use of XL
and EF lenses.
A valuable
accessory
is the EF Adapter
that fits
onto the XL1 to allow you to use Canon EF lenses
(that have manual focusing).
The difference
in size
between
the XLI's
CCD and 35 mm film means
that the effective
focal length of the EF lens is
multiplied
by 7.2×. A 300 mm lens, for example,
can be transformed
into an incredible
2,160 mm
super telephoto.
From wide-angle
to 16× telephoto
-- with
unparalleled
optical
quality. The digital zoom
doubles this magnification
for even more dramatic
results.
Offers you stunning digital sound -- 16-bit for
highest quality sound, and two 12-bit modes for
the playback
of audio-dubbed
cassettes,
or
simultaneous
recording
(and independent
output)
of 4 audio channels.
Slide the professional
style (180,000
pixel) color
viewfinder
across to the position
that suits your
individual
line of sight -- whether you use your
left or right eye. What's more, you can set the
viewpoint
from close-range
to open-range
at the
flick of a switch.

Superb picture quality results from using a larger
light capturing
area for each pixel (and fewer
pixels) to give higher sensitivity,
higher SN ratio
and a greater dynamic
range, and then horizontally
shifting the green CCD to ensure high image
resolution.
In addition, you can now get stunningly
clear still pictures
from video action.
Canon's
latest advances
in stabilization
technology
give you steadier images
than ever before, even at
the furthest reaches of the zoom range. Essential
to
this is a new feedback
system, which boosts
suppression
performance
for low fiequency
vibration.
Choose to operate the XL1 using the Manual
recording
program
to access the complete
set of
manual
functions,
for exceptional
creative
freedom.
The slim line styling of the XL1 allows you to
support the camera against
the front of your
shoulder
when recording.
Alternatively,
operate the
camera using the top recording
controls
located on
the handle -- which functions
as a second
gripping
position
for low-angle
shooting.
The XL1 is cast from magnesium
alloy to provide
heavy-duty
protection
from a lightweight
body.
XL lenses resolve over 600 TV lines to give an
extraordinarily
sharp image. By exceeding
the DV
standard
of 530 TV lines, The Canon lens delivers
greater visual "sharpness"
through
its higher
sensitivity
in the all important
100 to 250 TV line
resolution
area.
