PRO-QUALITY 16:9

With this new recording mode, the XL2 can maximize the captured information to deliver a professional quality 16:9 aspect ratio. Even though its CCD sensors are standard 4:3 size, the quality of its 16:9 mode is equal to that of a true 16:9 CCD sensor. When recording in this mode you can view the results directly on the LCD/EVF in letterbox format.

CINE-LOOK/VIDEO RECORDING

The XL2 is capable of more than just crystal clear video output. With its unique Cine-Look capability you can also shoot footage with a genuinely warm, cinematic quality. In 25p recording mode it captures video at 25 frames per second for

a true cinematic feel. When combined with the wide range of adjustable functions (Gamma, Knee and Black Stretch adjustments as well as Colour Matrix, V Detail, Skin Detail and Film Grain functions), the effect is truly remarkable. For a cooler ‘video’ feel, the 50i recording mode is pin-sharp and gives you just as much freedom when configuring the parameters of each shot.

HORIZONTAL PIXEL SHIFT

With this feature the images captured by the three CCD’s (Red, Green and Blue) are not placed exactly over each other. The green pixels are shifted slightly horizontally in order to provide a composite image with

a higher resolution.
