Remote Control
The XL1s kit includes a full function
wireless remote control to manage
features during recording and playback
hands free.
CH-910 Dual BatteryCharger/Holder
Holds two battery packs. Charges them
consecutively and connects directly to the
MA-200 adapter for longer recording time
and better balance.
Photo Search/Date Search/Index Search
The wireless controller included with the
XL1s allows you to quickly locate still
photos on a recorded cassette. Video can
be searched based on the date recorded
or by the index mark.
Zoom Speeds
The XL1s is outfitted with 4 zoom speed
options: Variable (pressure controlled) or
Low, Medium and Fast. These apply to
the zoom rockers on the handgrip and the
top grip (3 zoom speeds).
SLR-StyleFlash Photography
Attach a Canon Speedlite E-TTL flash
(420EX or 550EX) using the optional FA-
200 Flash Adapter to use the XL1s for
flash photography, just like you would with
an SLR camera. The camera sets the flash
duration, sending out a pre-exposure flash
to ensure correct exposure before the
main flash is sent out.
