The XL1 features an exclusive XL lens-mount system which, when used with an optional EF mount adapter, allows the camcorder to utilize a range of Canon's extensive lineup of EF lenses for EOS 35mm cameras. It also accommodates an optional 1.6x XL extender which increases lens magnification by 60%.
The camcorder is supplied with a 16x optical zoom XL5.5-88mm IS lens which delivers exceptionally clear, sharp images and resolves over 600 TV lines. The high-performance lens also supports Canon's new SuperRange image stabilizer, which virtually eliminates the effects of low-frequency vibrations. The new system improves upon the conventional gyro-sensor method by also employing a motion vector to detect vibrations, offering even greater image-stabilizing performance.
