SUPERRANGE OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZER
Using Canon’s unique Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) technology,
the SuperRange system not only uses a gyro sensor to
minimise vibration but subsequently analyses the image once
it’s received by the CCD. This allows for better compensation
of low frequency band vibrations. The XL2 uses vector data
from the gyro sensor to control the angle of the VAP in order
to continuously correct the path of the incoming light.
It then examines the image on the CCD to refine the prism’s
movements. The new XL2
20x Zoom lens incorporates
this technology, which works in standard 4:3 as well as
Pro
-Quality 16:9 mode.

SERIES FLUORITE
LENS ELEMENTS
The new XL2 20x Zoom lens includes
a professional L-Series Fluorite lens
element. These incredible crystalline
based elements are grown especially for
professional 35mm and broadcast lenses
because of their ability to minimise colour
aberration during high magnification.
The XL2’s lens also includes two aspherical
lens elements that allow it to achieve a
more compact profile whilst maintaining
the highest standard of optical performance.
ZOOM / FOCUS PRESETS
The new XL2 20x Zoom lens supports
both focus and zoom position presets,
a
feature normally only found on higher
end video cameras. This is especially
useful for feature or short film production
requiring multiple takes from the same
mark or any dramatic, automatic zoom or
focus shifts. Zoom and focus speeds are
also manually adjustable.
16-LEVEL ADJUSTABLE
ZOOM SPEED SETTING
The 16-level adjustable zoom speed
setting is used during grip zoom operation
and adds
another level of flexibility to
your shooting possibilities, especially for
handheld camera moves. It
’s also possible
to adjust the zoom
speed of the handle
section zoom lever in three steps, from
Low to Medium to Hig
h.
1. Any camera shake sensed
via the XL2’s Vibration Sensor is
compensated for using the Optical
Image Stabilizer’s Vari-Angle Prism.
2. The XL2’s professional lens
employs Fluorite lens elements
to reduce image aberrations.
