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.

Three Zoom Speeds

The XL1s features three zoom speed options: Variable
(pressure controlled) or Low, Medium and Fast.
These apply to the zoom rockers on the handgrip and
the top grip.

Wireless Remote Control

The XL1s kit includes a full function wireless remote
control to manage features during recording and
playback hands free.

LANC Terminal

The LANC terminal permits easy connection of
compatible controllers or the Canon ZR-1000
Remote Control.

Plug and Play!

IEEE 1394 DV Terminal

The XL1s is equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal
that conforms to IEEE 1394. It takes just a single
digital cable to transfer or copy your videos in pure
digital form to your DV compatible computer or
another Canon DV camcorder. Once you’ve
transferred video images to your computer, you can
edit your movies, stream them over the Internet or
post them on your Web site. Also, you can print them
out on a Canon color printer, transfer them back to
your Canon camcorder and archive them on a Mini
DV cassette, or create a dubbing master.
