Canon XH A1 Highlights
The image quality of high definition The XH A1 captures true 1080
high-definition resolution video at 60i, 30F or 24F frame 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.
Genuine Canon HD zoom lens 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.
3CCD performance The XH A1 is equipped with three 1/3-inch 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. Instant AF 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 image processor 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.
Super-range optical image stabilizer 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 from a moving car, the medium-speed
motion of hand-held , or the slower motion of body sway.
