DIGIC DV II
Canon's exclusive next-generation DiG!C DV II HD Digital Signal Processing chip processes the HD signal at 1440 x 1080 with 4:2:2 color sampling. XL H1 has the ability, through dual processors, to simultaneously record video and still images. Digital still images can be recorded in either digital color space or video color space.
Two Built-In Digital Still Cameras
In addition to the capture and recording of motion video, the XL H1 can also capture digital still images and store them on a Memory Card. Still images can be captured at full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution in either video color space or digital camera color space. Still images captured in video color space also include time code and camera set-up metadata. Still images captured in digital still color space include EXIF metadata. Also, as in conventional still cameras, the XL H1 includes: Auto exposure bracketing, selectable metering modes, continuous shooting and the use of select optional EOS flashes.
Frame Overlays
The XL H1’s 16:9 color LCD viewfinder includes aspect guides for industry-standard picture formats, including: 4:3, 13:9, 14:9, 1.66:1, 1.75:1, 1.85:1, and 2.35:1. Safe Area Indicators can also be superimposed to show 80 percent and 90 percent safe-title and picture-safe areas. Additional viewfinder framing overlays include a Center Mark crosshair and a Level Mark.
