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)
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.
GENUINE CANON OPTICS
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).
