THE BROADCAST QUALITY  
DIGITAL CAMCORDER  
3 CCD Pixel Shift Technology for Super-High Resolution  
Three Different Shooting Modes  
for All Your Recording Needs  
Normal Movie Mode  
By merging Canons superior lens quality with  
3 CCDs, the XL1s delivers stunning resolution and  
color reproduction - some of the best images outside  
of a TV studio. This mode records video in the  
standard interlaced fashion similar to conventional  
camcorders. Normal Movie Mode is ideal for  
recording video, which appears smooth and natural  
during playback on a TV or video editing computer.  
3 CCD  
The XL1s maximises the capability of the DV format  
by using a 3 CCD system assigning a separate CCD to  
each primary color (red, green, blue). A beam-  
splitting prism precisely separates the light passing  
through the lens into individual color components,  
and each is sent to its own CCD. This process  
achieves outstanding detail with highly accurate  
color reproduction suitable for the demands of the  
high-end production field – wide dynamic range, low  
color noise, natural color resolution and low aliasing.  
Digital Photo Mode with Self Timer  
Take almost 700 brilliantly clear still pictures on  
a single tape (in SP mode). The photo mode further  
distinguishes the XL1s by capturing extremely high  
resolution still images. The camera records the still  
pictures for approximately 6 seconds, as well as  
recording the sound for your verbal notes or  
narration. You can search through the recorded tape  
for your photos using the supplied remote control.  
Pixel Shift  
Canon solves common shooting dilemmas by using  
a signal processing technique called Pixel Shift,  
which has been used in professional grade video  
cameras for many years. It achieves wider dynamic  
range, brighter video in low light, reduced vertical  
smearing and sharper digital photos.  
Frame Movie Mode  
This mode captures video in a unique non-interlaced  
method allowing the XL1s to record 25 frames of  
video per second. Similar to a motor drive on  
a 35 mm camera, Frame Movie Mode performs like  
a Digital Motor Drive. You’ll capture every gesture  
and expression of your subject with spectacular  
clarity. Its perfect for users who choose to grab high  
quality still images from video for making prints,  
video for website content, or even sending  
emotionally charged images over the internet. The  
non-interlaced method popularised by Canons XL1s  
has even been acknowledged by users for its  
cinematic-like appearance.  
High Resolution Even In Low Light  
The XL1s incorporates three CCD image sensors  
specifically designed for freedom when shooting under  
extremely low light conditions. The size of each pixel is  
72 square microns. Thats 150% larger than the pixel-  
size on comparable models. The result is approximately  
an overall 14 dB improvement in sensitivity.  
Interchangeable Lens for Increased Flexibility and Creativity in Shooting  
FS-72U Filter Set  
Includes neutral density (ND 8), polarizing and  
ultraviolet filters.  
1.6x Extender  
Attach this extender between the XL1s camera and  
the Optical Image Stabilizer 16x Zoom Lens or the  
Manual 16x Zoom Lens to increase the focal length  
magnification by 1.6x.  
EOS Adapter for Image Magnification  
The EF adapter allows you to attach Canon EOS  
35 mm camera lenses to the XL1s. This is especially  
helpful for subjects such as sports, wildlife,  
surveillance and astronomy because the image  
magnification of any 35 mm lens is increased 7.2x  
when mounted onto the XL1s.  
The Choice Is Yours…  
The XL1s maximises your options via the XL mount  
system for a focal length range from 24 to 2,160 mm.  
This super-flexible system with unbeatable range is  
made possible though the use of Canons XL and EF  
35 mm camera lenses.  
Optical Image Stabilizer 16x Zoom Lens  
This lens resolves over 600 TV lines to deliver an  
extraordinarily sharp image. By exceeding the DV  
standard of 500 TV lines, it provides greater visual  
“sharpness” through the critical 100 to 250 TV line  
resolution area. This lens also includes Canon  
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer for stable and  
shake free recordings without image “float”. The lens  
also features a ND filter, manual focus and zoom  
rings and  
a
Push AF button.  
button.  
Manual 16x Zoom Lens  
Perfect for the video application that requires precise  
manual lens control, this lens provides focus, zoom  
and aperture scales. Even more, it includes a powered  
zoom, automatic iris and two built-in ND filters.  
3x Extra Wide-Angle Zoom  
The 3x zoom lens provides the worlds widest field-  
of-view on any DV camcorder. The focal length is  
3.4 mm to 10.2 mm (35 mm equivalent 24 mm to  
72 mm) and the resolution exceeds 600 TV lines.  
Keep It Steady  
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer -  
The Most Advanced System Available  
Until now, Optical Image Stabilizers have used solely  
a gyro sensor to detect camcorder vibration (the data  
from which controls  
a
vari-angle prism that  
continuously corrects the path of the incoming light).  
SuperRange goes one step further by examining the  
image after it is received by the CCD, and detecting  
any low-frequency vibrations missed by the gyro. This  
data is fed-back to accelerate and refine the movement  
of the vari-angle prism. This greatly improves  
performance for low frequency vibration, resulting in  
the most advanced Optical Image Stabilizer available  
today. This feature is found only on Canons Optical  
Image Stabilizer 16x zoom lens.

16:9 Aspect Ratio  
The XL1s is equipped with two 16:9 aspect  
ratio methods.  
16:9 Guides  
The 16:9 guides are thin white lines, which appear in  
the viewfinder only. They let you view a 16:9 wide  
screen composition while in the standard 4:3 aspect  
ratio, which is especially helpful if you’re planning to  
transfer your DV footage to film.  
16:9 Recording Mode  
The XL1s includes a 16:9 recording mode, which  
applies an electronic anamorphic stretch allowing  
you to fill the frame of a 16:9 wide screen TV.  
Please note that the XL1s digitally simulates 16:9 aspect ratio when in 16:9 Recording Mode.  
Maximum picture quality is only attained in 4:3 format. Therefore, video captured in 16:9 Recording  
Mode may not be suitable for some broadcast wide-screen applications.  
Programmed AE for Advanced Recording Techniques  
Spotlight  
Designed to be used when subjects are illuminated by  
intense light sources, such as under spotlights on  
a dark stage. This mode is designed to prevent the  
subject from being grossly over-exposed, against  
a dark background.  
Shutter-priority/Aperture-priority  
(Tv/Av)  
The Tv and Av modes permit easy operation while  
retaining the creative image controls commonly  
found on Canons 35mm SLR cameras. In the Tv  
mode, you select the shutter speed from 1/6 to  
1/16000 of a second and the XL1s will automatically  
set a matching aperture. In the Av mode, you select  
the aperture from f/1.6 to f/16 and the XL1s  
automatically sets a matching shutter speed.  
Ensures great results in various shooting conditions.  
There are six programs in all, giving you the balanced  
control that you have come to expect from Canon.  
Full Auto  
Also called the “Green Zone” and identified by the  
green rectangle on the Command Dial, this is the  
ideal selection for general shooting.  
Auto mode  
Similar to Full Auto, Auto mode handles all camera  
settings automatically, but also allows the user to  
select manual functions  
Tv Mode  
Manual Mode  
If you want to make all the decisions, this is the mode  
to use. You can choose any combination of shutter  
speeds and lens apertures.  
Av Mode

oversaturated. This adjustment allows you to shoot in  
black and white.  
AE Shift with Three Slow Shutter  
Settings  
By adjusting the AE Shift Control you can lighten or  
darken the image to precisely control the exposure  
level of the Program AE modes.  
Hue  
Adjust the Color Phase toward red or green for  
exact control.  
Digital Effects  
The XL1s is equipped with a 2x Digital Zoom to  
electronically increase the magnification of the image  
plus a Fade Trigger feature, which applies a black  
fade to the beginning or end of a scene.  
Camera Sharpness  
Adjust the range of picture sharpness to your  
preference before recording. Softer may compliment  
the subject while sharper will make details clearer.  
1 Fader  
Setup Level  
Use the fader to start or end scenes with a fade to or  
from black.  
Adjust the black level of the video signal for the  
best shadow detail. (Focus, exposure, white balance,  
for example).  
2 Effects  
Give variety to your images during recording by adding  
Black and White, Slim, Stretch or Strobe motion.  
Clear Scan  
The XL1s can be adjusted to match the frequency of  
a CRT monitor, allowing you to record the monitor  
without rolling black bars.  
Gain Creative Control  
As well as automatic gain, the XL1s has settings for  
–3 dB, 0 dB, +6 dB, +12 dB, +18 dB, and +30 dB for  
creative control in any shooting condition.  
EBU Colour Bars  
The XL1s generates EBU colour bars for accurate  
matching to your monitor or edit suite.  
Zebra Pattern Avoids Overexposure  
Reveal areas of overexposure, using these diagonal  
stripes to guide you when setting the aperture and  
shutter speed. Select from five levels: 80, 85, 90, 95,  
and 100%.  
White Balance for Any  
Lighting Condition  
White Balance can be set for Automatic, preset  
Indoors, preset Outdoors and three Set memories, for  
any lighting condition.  
Interval Timer  
With the interval timer, you can record for a selected  
time with selected interval. This function is  
convenient for nature observation such as flowers,  
sunsets, etc. You can select the interval time from  
30 sec., 1 min., 5 min. and 10 min., and the recording  
time from 0.5 sec., 1 sec., 1.5 sec. and 2 sec.  
VCR Stop  
You can turn the recorder section off leaving the  
camera section turned on, so you can adjust the  
camera section without worrying about the  
Automatic shut-off (5-minute timer).  
Slow Shutter Settings  
Camera Sharpness  
Whether your aim is a “streaming” background when  
panning or brighter recording in low light, you can  
choose from three slow shutter settings –1/30,  
1/15 and 1/8 of a second.  
Custom Keys  
DV Control  
You can assign frequently used functions to the keys  
(camera mode and VCR mode independently) to  
customise the camera to your shooting preferences or  
environment. You can assign the following functions  
to the Custom Keys.  
You can control the record and pause of equipment that  
conforms to the AV/C protocol connected to the XL1s  
using the DV terminal. For example, record to a  
miniDV tape and FireWire Hard drive simultaneously.  
Time Code  
Camera Mode  
This precisely identifies each recording down to the  
individual frame, showing the hour, minute, second  
and frame in the display. The XL1s uses a “drop-  
frame” system that is frame accurate.

Data Code  
Data code, which is recorded separately from the  
video signal, lets you display or hide data such as  
date, time, exposure etc. as required. This data can  
also be permanently “burned in” over the video for  
verification or surveillance purposes.  
Composite/S-Video In & Out  
The XL1s can be connected to any monitor by  
a composite (RCA) cable or by an S-Video cable. The  
same video terminals also accept video signals for  
recording from external sources such as a TV, VCR or  
another camcorder. The MA-200 adaptor has a BNC  
connector for connection to professional equipment.  
Index Recording  
You can mark “the best take” when you are shooting,  
for easy access when playing back in the VCR mode.  
AV Insert and Audio Dubbing  
Ergonomics and Magnesium Body  
Add a new scene into your video from another source  
such as a camcorder or VCR. (Your video must be  
recorded in SP mode.) You can also add a new stereo  
audio track onto your video such as a voice over or  
background music. (Your audio must be recorded in  
the 12 bit mode.)  
The XL1s camcorder is designed to support extensive  
field use. Its chassis is mounted on a single, durable  
magnesium alloy frame to provide overall strength  
and protection from external shock – blending  
twenty times the durability of ordinary camcorder  
bodies, with countless times the style. The layout and  
design of the controls and functions makes the XL1s  
ergonomically and practically a joy to use.

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.  
CH-910 Dual Battery Charger/Holder  
Holds two battery packs. Charges them consecutively  
and connects directly to the MA-200 adapter for  
longer recording time and better balance.
