Description
The XH A1 captures
true 1080 High Definition resolution video at 60i, 30F
or 24Fframe rates (or, 50i/60i with optional upgrade).
It captures a true 16:9 widescreen HD image that is made
for your HD broadcast and theatrical projects.
The XH A1 comes with a Genuine Canon 20x HD zoom lens
that shows why the name Canon is synonymous with optical
excellence. This Professional L Series Fluorite lens
ensures outstanding resolution, contrast and color
reproduction, and delivers clarity and image quality you
won't see with conventional optical glass lenses.
The XH A1 is equipped with three 1/3" Native 16:9 CCDs
(1.67 Megapixels), delivering outstanding picture
quality, highly accurate color reproduction, and a wide
dynamic range with virtually no color noise.
Canon's innovative Super-Range OIS combines gyro- and
image-sensors to correct camcorder shake instantly -
whether it's the fast vibration you'd experience while
recording from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of
hand-held recording; or the slower motion of body sway.
With HD, focus is more critical than ever. Instant AF is
the next generation of auto focus, designed with HD
resolution in mind. It combines an external AF sensor
with Canon's legendary auto focus system for fast and
accurate focus. Together, the two sensors reduce
focusing time - even in low-light situations - and
improve focusing performance on difficult subjects.
DIGIC DV II HD is the next generation of Canon's
exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing technology.
Designed specifically for HD, DIGIC DV II ensures
optimal image quality for HD video, with improved color
reproduction - especially in skin tones, and dark and
light scenes. It also employs a hybrid noise reduction
system that integrates two types of noise reduction, for
high definition images that are crystal clear.
variety of image control functions give you as much or
as little exposure control as you want, and let you
fine-tune your exposures for outstanding video.
