Introducing the XL1S
Higher sensitivity, higher SN ratio, higher image
resolution and a greater dynamic range results from
horizontally shifting the green CCD (320,000

button on the handle.

A valuable accessory is the EF Adapter that fits
onto the XL1S to allow you to use Canon EF
lenses (that have the manual focusing only). The
difference in size between the XL1S’ CCD and 35
mm film means that the effective focal length of
the EF lens is multiplied by 7.2x.
