Stabilizer

Until now, optical image

stabilizers have used solely a gyro sensor to detect camcorder vibration (the data from which controls a vari-angle prism that continuously corrects the path of the incoming light). SuperRange goes one step further by examining the image after it is received by the CCD, and detecting any low-frequency vibrations missed by the gyro. This data is fed-back to accelerate and refine the movement of the vari-angle prism. This greatly improves performance for low frequency vibration, resulting in the most advanced optical image stabilization available today. This feature is found only on Canon's optical Image Stabilized 16X zoom lens.

Adapter

The EF adapter allows you to attach Canon EOS 35mm camera lenses to the XL1s. This is especially helpful for telescopic imaging such as sports, wildlife, surveillance and astronomy because the image magnification of any 35mm lens is increased 7.2X when mounted onto the XL1s.
