HD AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

the xh-a1 camcorder has three 1/3" 16:9 interlaced CCDs that capture images at 1080i resolution.
The camcorder features selectable frame rates of 60i, 30 frame and 24 frame
to allow the user to adjust to the assignment at hand and can switch back to SD resolution if needed.
at the 30 frame rate, broadcasters can capture fast motion like sports
with confidence that each frame is captured individually and completely.
filmmakers can utilize the 24 frame rate when creating the look and feel of movie film.
the 60i frame rate, meanwhile, delivers exceptional resolution for shooting environments
like ENG or reality TV


high quality images

the xh-a1 hd camcorder includes canon's proprietary DIGIC DV II image processor
DIGIC DV II is an image processor that can process both HD and SD video signals as well as still photos
the highly effective chip ensures clean, noise-free footage with unmatched color fidelity


flip-out lcd

the camera features a flip-out LCD capable of being viewed from both sides of the camera,
A feature often overlooked on competitive cameras.
the LCD provides ample resolution for more capable focus assistance.
The display tucks cleanly under the handle when not in use, resulting in unfettered side controls


instant AF

instant AF is an auto-focus assistant that dramatically increases both speed
and accuracy when paired with HD technology
high definition requires far more precision to get perfect focus
than its standard definition counterpart
the increase in fidelity means the camera itself must work harder to find complete focus
if the auto-focus still doesn't satisfy, Canon has included independent rings
for not only focus and zoom, but iris as well;
a feature usually only afforded to high-end ENG systems


customizable

the xh-a1 can be customized in a variety of different ways
The image itself can be tweaked to get an endless array of different styles
additionally, all of these functions can be saved via a secure digital (SD) card, for future retrieval
this feature can also be used to transfer camera settings from one camera to another
which can save time during projects with multiple cameras


optical stabilization feature

Canon calls its image stabilizer Super Range Optical Image Stabilization
and it helps defeat camera shake from handheld shooting and even shake produced from a moving vehicle
because it is an optical function, it can compensate for a greater degree of camera shake
and avoids any loss in image quality unlike electronic or digital stabilizing methods


The XH G1 and XH A1 are successors to the XL H1,
Canon’s first video camcorder to support HDV recording,
which, featuring an interchangeable lens system,
has garnered high acclaim in the broadcast and video production industries
since its release

while maintaining the outstanding performance features of the XL H1
The XH G1 and XH A1 offer superior mobility,
resulting from advancements in body design
and the incorporation of an integrated lens system,
to meet the needs of a wide range of users,
from advanced amateur videographers to professional video engineers.

Canon’s DIGIC DV II image engine,
combined with a 1/3-inch 1.67-megapixel 3-CCD imaging sensor system,
make possible the recording and playback of high-quality
HDV 1080i images boasting outstanding detail and faithful color reproduction.

the Canon XH G1 and XH A1 are equipped with a newly developed 20x optical zoom L-series lens
that employs a fluorite lens element and UD (ultra-low dispersion) lenses
to effectively correct for a variety of aberrations throughout the zoom range and realize high-definition,
high-contrast images.
additionally, the new HDV camcorders incorporate several advanced technologies
supporting high-quality film production,
including Canon’s Super Range Shift OIS (optical image stabilization) system
that enables the detection and correction of low-frequency vibrations
often missed by conventional optical systems,
instant AF that employs an angle detection system to track fast zoom operation,
and a manual focus ring for adjusting the iris in addition to focus and zoom.
