PRO-QUALITY 16:9
With this new recording mode, the camcorder can
maximize the captured information to deliver a
professional quality 16:9 aspect ratio. Even though
the XL2’s CCD sensors are standard 4:3 size, the
quality of its 16:9 mode is equal to that of a true
16:9 CCD sensor. When recording in this mode
you can view the results directly on the LCD/EVF
in letter box format.
CINE-LOOK/VIDEO RECORDING
The XL2 is capable of more than just crystal clear video
output. With its unique Cine-Look capability you can
also shoot footage with a genuinely warm, cinematic
quality. In 25p recording mode it captures video at
25 frames per second for a true cinematic feel. When
combined with the wide range of adjustable functions
(Gamma, Knee and Black Stretch adjustments as well
as Colour Matrix, V Detail and Skin Detail functions),
the effect is truly remarkable. For a cooler ‘video’ feel,
the 50i recording mode is pin-sharp and gives you just
as much freedom when configuring the parameters
of each shot.
HORIZONTAL PIXEL SHIFT
With this feature the images captured by
the three CCD’s (Red, Green and Blue) are
not placed exactly over each other. The green
pixels are shifted slightly horizontally in
order to provide a composite image with
a higher resolution.
Pro-Quality 16:9 mode gives you incredible resolution
in a wide format aspect ratio from a 4:3 sensor size.
