Description
Canon XL1 S - 270 Kpix - optical zoom: 16 x Technical Details Professional-quality MiniDV camcorder and still camera with 3 CCD lens 16x optical zoom lens and image stabilizer Interchangeable lens system--can use Canon EOS lenses with optional adapter Three shooting modes: Normal Movie, Digital Photo Mode, and the cinema-like Frame Movie Mode and shoot in 16:9 Record for up to 90 minutes on one battery charge Product DescriptionSmall enough to carry around and costing not much more than a top-of-the-line consumer camcorder, the XL1S produces such high-quality results that it is sure to be the top choice for many independent filmmakers who demand full features and controls. Like its predecessor, the XL1, this camera uses three separate 270,000 pixel CCDs (one for each primary color) for the best picture quality. The XL1S records digital audio, with two channels of 16 bit/48 KHz sound or four channels of 12 bit/32 KHz sound. The body is based on a magnesium-alloy frame for maximum durability. It ships with a 16x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization, but is also compatible with other XL camcorder lenses. With an optional adapter, you can use Canon EF (EOS) still-camera lenses--some of which also feature optical image stabilization. The electronics of the XL1S have many advanced features, including a number of programmed AE modes, as well as both shutter and aperture priority modes. There are two different auto modes, one of which allows you to adjust any setting manually, if you want, and the other, which adjusts every setting automatically and lets you adjust nothing. A spotlight mode automatically compensates for difficulties when shooting a subject bathed in a spotlight. The computer-shooting mode gets rid of monitor flicker that happens when shooting a computer screen. There are also three different shooting modes: normal movie, digital photo, and frame movie. Normal movie mode is for any time you want to shoot video footage. Digital-photo mode records a still image for six seconds on the MiniDV tape and also captures any accompanying audio for a commentary track. The frame movie mode records 30 noninterlaced still images per second, instead of capturing 60 fps interlaced images. This mode isn't intended to be used for shooting video (playback may not look completely smooth). Rather, frame movie mode should be used as a burst, or continuous, shooting mode, like you'd find on a still camera. The XL1S offers many new and updated features over the XL1. There is a 16:9 shooting mode where electronic lines draw are displayed through the viewfinder so you can compose your shots flexibly for later conversion to HDTV, where 16:9 is the standard. SMPTE color bars help establish a proper color reference for shooting and editing. Interval recording lets you shoot time-elapsed motion video with intervals from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Zebra patterns help you determine overexposed areas in your shot so you can adjust the aperture and shutter accordingly. Digital Video Format and IEEE 1394The XL1S is a consummate professional creation tool that supports the established industry standards, MiniDV and IEEE 1394. Support of these standards make the XL1S a flexible video creation tool that interoperates with standard DV equipment and computer editing systems as accorded by engineering, scientific and broadcast communities. DV Format Technology and Its Advantages The MiniDV format supported by the XL1S delivers more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution -- a 25% improvement over analog systems. The DV format allows for near lossless transfer within digital editing environments for faster creation, increased productivity and improved production quality of final prints. IEEE 1394 (DV Terminal)The XL1S comes standard with a DV terminal that conforms to IEEE 1394 for digital transfer of video and sound, in addition to regular video and audio outputs. The IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire®) standard allows editing, copying and recording of digital video over a single cable. This transfer format affords improved image and sound quality and is virtually free from generation loss. The 3 CCD System The XL1S maximizes the capability of the DV format by using a 3 CCD (charge-coupled device) system with a separate CCD for each primary color (red, green, blue). A beam-splitting prism separates light passing through the lens into individual color components and each is sent to its own CCD. Compared to a single CCD, the 3 CCD system achieves outstanding detail with highly accurate color reproduction suitable for the demands of high-end video production - wide dynamic range, low color noise, high-contrast detail, natural color resolution and low-aliasing. The 3 CCD system also makes advanced Pixel Shift (for increased image quality) and Low Light Recording (for increased flexibility) possible. The three CCD image sensors in the XL1S, each with 270,000 pixels, were specifically designed to capture as much image detail as possible and for shooting under extremely low light conditions. The size of each pixel is 72 square microns - 150% larger than the pixel-size on comparable DV models. The result is an approximate 4 dB improvement in sensitivity. This improved sensitivity means that each CCD can capture more information at all light ranges. In super low light, the XL1S still captures crisp and clear digital data. Under extremely bright conditions, the Pixel Shift capabilities of the XL1S greatly reduces vertical white streaks and smears, making it a consummate field recording device for all conditions. Because human eyes see green more clearly and readily, the green component of a video signal contains 60% of the picture detail whereas the red and blue components together comprise the remaining 40%. With the advanced Pixel Shift on the XL1S, the green CCD is physically shifted the equivalent distance of 1/2 pixel horizontally from the red and blue CCD, and the green signal is electronically shifted 1/2 pixel vertically. This shifting of the green CCD increases the sampling points, resulting in a system that is comparable to 410,000 pixel CCD systems in terms of resolution. With a larger pixel size and the process of Pixel Shift, the Canon XL1S gives wider dynamic range, better low light recording, reduced vertical smears, and high quality still images without sacrificing the highest resolution DV available. Audio and Video Inputs and OutputsThe XL1S offers a plethora of means by which to get audio and video in and out of the camcorder. The XL1S is designed to handle two types of analog video input and output: using audio/video cables (composite) or S-video. There are four audio inputs and outputs. All connections are on the camera body. Canon FU-1000 Monochrome Viewfinder for XL-1 and XL-1s Camcorders The Canon FU-1000 is a professional quality black and white viewfinder for the XL-1 and XL-1s camcorders. It is a 1.5" CRT viewfinder preferred by many professional videographers. It displays 500 TV lines and makes critical focusing easier in all shooting situations. Canon 1.6x Extender - for XL-1 and XL-1S DV Camcorder The 1.6x extender fits between the XL-1 and the XL lens to shift the focal length of the master lens to telephoto side by 1.6 times. Canon 3x Wide Zoom Lens for Canon XL-1 and XL-1s Camcorders The lightweight 3x Super Wide-Angle Zoom gives the XL-1 the widest field-of-view of any DV camcorder 70° compared to the 47° of the standard 16x lens. This represents an increase in angle of view of nearly 50%. Focal length of 3.4mm to 10.2 mm (24mm to 72mm equivalent in 35mm) enables you to move from vast landscapes to close-ups with maximum flexibility. Canon 16:1 Manual Servo Zoom Lens - for XL-1 and XL-1S DV Camcorders The M16XXL1S manual lens gives you the flexibility of calibrated manual focus and calibrated power zoom, power iris and two built-in ND filters. Canon MA-200 Dual XLR Microphone Adapter and Shoulder Pad - for XL-1 DV Camcorder with BNC Connector The MA-200 Microphone Adapter/Shoulder Pad (4 XLR inputs, BNC video in/out), Allows you to use a microphone that has XLR connectors with the XL1S and to have the video signal in BNC connector, plus makes shoulder-mounted shooting possible. In addition, you can attach a wireless microphone receiver or hold the separately optional CH-910 Dual Battery Charger/Holder. With the MA-200 you can use up to 4 XLR microphones simultaneously. Auction incluiding: Professional-quality MiniDV camcorder and still camera with 3 CCD lens 16x optical zoom lens and image stabilizer The Canon FU-1000 is a professional quality black and white viewfinder for the XL-1 and XL-1s The 1.6x extender fits between the XL-1s The lightweight 3x Super Wide-Angle The M16XXL1S manual lens The MA-200 Microphone Adapter/Shoulder Pad (4 XLR inputs, BNC video in/out), Canon BP-945 4500mAh Lithium Ion Battery for XL1s
