GENUINE CANON 20X HD L-SERIES
VIDEO ZOOM LENS
The XL H1S and XL H1A feature the interchange-
able Canon 20x HD Video Zoom XL 5.4–108mm L IS Lens III
(35mm equivalent 38.9–778mm), and the XH G1S and XH A1S
feature a Genuine Canon 20x HD video 4.5–90mm L-series
zoom lens (35mm equivalent 32.5–650mm) that incorporate
Fluorite and Ultra-Low-Dispersion elements. Bearing
Canon’s signature red L-series ring, these lenses embody
the same unmatched level of optical excellence that
professionals have trusted for decades.
THREE 1/3" NATIVE 16:9 CCDs
(1440 X 1080)
A sophisticated 3CCD design
employs separate native 16:9
sensors for each primary color.
Each sensor has 1.67 million
pixels (1440 x 1080), giving the
camcorders a high pixel count
equal to 800 TV lines of horizontal resolution. Canon’s
superior design delivers outstanding picture quality at
1080 HD resolution. It further ensures highly accurate color
with wide dynamic range and virtually no color noise.
DIGIC DV II IMAGE PROCESSOR
Designed for HD
camcorders, the DIGIC
DV II Image Processor delivers
the superior image quality and
operates at 1440 x 1080 pixels
with 4:2:2 color sampling. It
features a hybrid noise reduction
system and employs dual
processes
to create brilliantly clear HD images.

STABILIZER
Canon’s SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
Technology uses a gyro sensor to compensate for shake and
jitter. Greater compensation is achieved by analyzing the
image on the CCD, resulting in highly reliable shake correction,
without degradation, even at long focal lengths.
HD-SDI, GENLOCK AND
TIME CODE CONNECTION TERMINALS
The Canon XL H1S and XH G1S offer
standard HD-SDI, Genlock and Time
Code connections (BNC). SDI outputs
conform to industry standard HD-SDI
(SMPTE 299M) or SD-SDI (SMPTE 272M) included embedded
audio and time code and 24F 2:3 pulldown flags (XH G1S).
The HD-SDI output provides an uncompressed 1.485Gbps 60i
signal at 1920 x 1080 resolution with 4:2:2 color sampling.
Genlock input enables synchronization of a multi-camera, live-
switched production environment in the studio or on location.
SMPTE Time Code input and output terminals (switchable
terminal on XH G1S) accommodates time code requirements
in multi-camera shoots, or when synching with other devices.
COMPLETE CUSTOMIZATION
The unmatched customization built into Canon professional
HD camcorders allows users to fine-tune the cameras’ per-
formance and operation to match specific environments or
applications. Nearly any look is achievable, thanks to 23
independent adjustments. The menu display is fully
customizable, with 22 different options. A total of 21 custom
function settings allow the camcorder’s operation to match
individual shooting preferences and styles.

broadcast and photography have given Canon superiority in
its optical products, and a legendary reputa-
tion among professional videographers
and photographers. Every Canon
camcorder is equipped with a
Genuine Canon Video Lens.
High definition video lenses
use an aspherical lens to
achieve low chromatic aberra-

Canon’s sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake
instantly, so even handheld video taken at long focal lengths is sharp and steady.
Dynamic SuperRange OIS takes shake correction to a whole new level. It provides continuous adjustment
throughout the entire zoom range to correct an even broader range of motion. Extra compensation is
applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration common with walking.

Sharp focus is crucial when shooting high-resolution high definition video. Canon’s proprietary
Instant Autofocus system delivers fast, accurate focus, even when you’re shooting in bright light,
at night, or with the camera in motion. The revolutionary hybrid system combines an external sensor
with Canon’s proven high-performance AF system to dramatically decrease focusing time and ensure
consistently sharp video.
