Canon XL2 Camcorder User Manual


 
NEW 20X L-SERIES ZOOM LENS
Developed exclusively for the XL2, the XL 5.4-108mm
L IS lens is composed of 12 lens elements in 10
groups, delivering a focal length range of 41.4 to
828mm in Pro-Quality 16:9 mode. It incorporates
Canon’s SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer, an
L-series Fluorite lens and two aspherical lens
elements to deliver consistently sharp images and
true colours. Two built-in ND filters allow you to
adjust the light intensity without affecting the colours.
Lenses to expand
your vision.
The XL2 is designed primarily for the high performance XL interchangeable
lens system, but is also easily fitted with an optional EF adapter to make
full use of Canon’s pro-quality L-series EF lenses. Manual focus is possible
with all capable lenses and in all shooting modes. When combined with the
variety of professional presets and filters available, as well as the remarkable
Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Optical Image Stabilizer, this video camera system is
capable of virtually anything.
The lens’ six iris aperture leaves have
nearly circular shaped blades that create
a beautifully natural blurring effect
when shooting a short depth of field.
This brilliant new lens fully supports
manual focus functionality and comes
as standard with the XL2 kit.
XL-SERIES
INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
Using the specially designed XL mount
that supports the 1/3" 3CCD system,
this series of three lenses provides a
35mm equivalent focal length range
from 26.6 to 1018mm. The new 20x
Zoom is a perfect multi-purpose lens.
The 3x Zoom Video lens and 16x
Zoom Manual lens offer even more
creative flexibility. All are designed
and engineered exclusively by Canon
– making full use of more than
70 years of experience in the field.
CANON PROFESSIONAL
EOS LENSES
The optional EF adapter gives you
access to the full spectrum of Canon's
Professional 35mm L-Series EF lenses.
This collection of lenses has proven
to be essential for any serious
photographer and invaluable to
many filmmakers and videographers.
They are particularly useful for sports,
wildlife and astronomy applications
as their magnification increases by
approximately 7.2x when mounted
on the XL2.
