Canon XL H1 manual Genuine Canon Optics, SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization, Lens Presets

GENUINE CANON OPTICS

The XL H1’s high-performance 20x HD zoom lens leverages Canon’s decades of optical expertise. Featuring Canon’s XL lens mount, the XL H1’s 20x HD lens provides a range from 38.9mm* to 778mm, and delivers the ultimate in clarity and image quality. Along with Canon’s Fluorite lens technology, this

lens produces images with outstanding resolution, contrast, color reproduction, and minimal chromatic aberration. The lens incorporates Canon’s SR

* (equivalent to 35mm photography, 16:9 aspect ratio)

SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization

The Canon 20x HD lens features a gyro sensor that detects motion and continuously adjusts a Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) to eliminate jitter and shake. Canon’s SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization technology then re-examines the image

after it has been received by the CCD, and sends additional information to the VAP that further refines its movements, thereby enhancing the performance of the stabilizer. As a result, camera shake is corrected, even when handheld at long focal lengths or when the camera is in motion.

Lens Presets

Program the Canon 20x HD lens to memorize any given focus or zoom point and return to that point with the touch of a button.

Interchangeable Lenses

Featuring Canon’s XL lens mount, the XL H1 can be fitted with a wide array of optional lenses. Canon’s

EF Adapter XL enables users to attach many of Canon’s EF photographic lenses to achieve specialized image capture for telephoto and other applications.

Zoom Control and Speed

The XL H1's zoom control can be operated from its lens grip, carrying handle (for low-angle shots), lens zoom ring, wireless controller, or optional wired controller. Zoom-speed operation can be variable (pressure-sensitive) or constant (16 separate speed levels).

multi-coating for minimizing ghosting and veiling of the image. Canon’s HD auto-focus algorithim delivers the accuracy users need. And two built-in Neutral Density (ND) filters provide added image control. The 1/6 ND setting reduces exposure by two stops; the 1/32 ND setting reduces exposure by five stops. These provide controls for bright, sunlit exteriors or depth of field for cinematic look. A focus distance readout in the viewfinder assists in setting manual focus.
