canon xl2 manual focusRemember that all XL-series lenses will mount to any Canon XL2, XL1S or XL1, regardless of whether the camera head is an NTSC or PAL model. Personally I have not had the opportunity to check them all out for myself, but I have included links to user reviews where they exist (lens attachments such as wide-angle adapters, filters, matte boxes, etc.It is also available for separate purchase. Outwardly it looks similar to (but is a bit larger than) the previous 16x IS II lens. It is backward-compatible with the older XL1 and XL1S. This lens also features Canon's Super Range optical image stabilization of the VAP (vari-angle prism) type. This switch also functions as a Push-AF button. The 20x L IS is an autofocus lens using free-spinning manual focus and zoom rings without stops on an un-marked barrel.Outwardly this lens appears similar to the previous 14x manual lens (which it replaces) in that it has a black barrel marked with focus, zoom and aperature numbers. This lens has a rectangular hood instead of the round one found on the older 14x. However, the primary difference between that lens and this new manual lens (other than the longer focal length of 16x) is a motor for zoom control from the grip, plus automatic iris control and two built-in neutral density filter settings (2.7 and 5). This lens may be operated in full manual mode, or switched to motorized zooming from both the grip handle and the LANC jack with a remote zoom controller (you'll need a separate remote focus control which connects directly to the lens). There is no automatic focus on this lens; it is manual focus only. It does not have image stabilization. There's no iris ring, either; exposure is controlled by the dial on the camera body. The 16x manual lens is of course backward-compatible with the older XL1 and XL1S.Outwardly it looks identical to the previous XL1 16x lens, but inside is a new design which reportedly is a significant improvement over the earlier 16x automatic lens.http://davidfauquemberg.com/home/fauquemb/david/bbdg_site/userfiles/cricket-txtm8-3g-manual.xml

Like the one it replaces, this newly re-engineered lens is servo-controlled even in manual mode, with free-spinning focus and zoom rings without stops on an un-marked barrel. You can tell this lens apart from the old one by the red lettering marked IS II around the front filter thread. Like the older 16x automatic lens before it, the IS II has the extremely slow low-speed crawling zoom which isn't available on the 16x manual lens. Some professionals were disappointed to find that it's not marked in the traditional sense with focus, zoom and aperture settings. That's because it's a vari-focus lens which is primarily automatic in nature with provisions for manual operation. However, even the manual settings are controlled by internal motors. In my opinion, this lens is excellent for what it is intended.IS II are the only OIS equipped lenses available in the XL format).Wide angle shots are extremely important for a number of applications, from filmmaking to journalism. Canon's 3x wide angle lens is an important tool for any serious videographer, allowing the XL cameras to shoot in tight spaces such as small rooms and vehicle interiors. The camera gets closer to the subject, improving the audio quality from the on-board microphone, and wide angle shots in general have a significant appeal which other lenses can't obtain. A neutral density filter is included, but not image stabilization; it's not really needed, anyway. Like the 16x lens, this is a vari-focus lens and operates automatically with manual overrides. A very short zoom range is the only disadvantage, perhaps requiring a frequent changing of lenses as shooting circumstances dictate.It does not include image stabilization, a neutral density filter or zoom and focus motors, but does provide complete and precise manual control of focus, focal length and aperture settings.http://apoiotelecom.com/imagens/img_fckeditor/cricket-samsung-messager-touch-manual.xml Such controls are analog (instead of digital) in nature and are operated mechanically (instead of electronically) via traditional lens rings which will be familiar to professional videographers. Unlike the Optex-converted Fuji 14x, this lens communicates electronically with the camera head, allowing for certain digital effects such as the slow shutter speeds. However, in my opinion, it has a major drawback in that remote zoom and focus controls are not available, to the best of my knowledge. The result was a professional quality lens which provides smooth, all-manual operation. The lens hand grip which houses the zoom motor had to be removed, to allow the lens barrel to clear the XL1's own hand grip. However, remote zoom and focus controls from third-party manufacturers can be mounted to the tripod pan handles, negating this drawback. One important disadvantage of this lens is that it cannot electronically communicate with the XL1 camera body; therefore, certain digital features such as the slow shutter speeds are unavailable. In my opinion, this is made up for by the quality of the Fujinon glass and the availability of remote lens controls. In my opinion, it could become a superb lens for the XL cameras if someone would be willing to convert it to an XL mount, as Optex did with the Fuji 14x. This lens has about half the focal length of the Canon 16x but four times the zoom range of the Canon 3x, making it suitable for both wide-angle and telephoto work. Not only would shot set-ups go faster, but the need for a wide-angle adapter would be eliminated as well. Like the Canon 14x and Fuji 14x, this lens would function as manual-only (the lens zoom motor would need to be removed for the lens barrel to clear the XL camcorder hand grip). However, a remote focus control is readily available, and presumably the Optex motorized remote zoom control for the Fuji 14x could be adapted to operate this lens. I would like very much to hear from anyone who manages to procure, adapt and use this particular lens with their XL-series camera. Since these lenses are designed for 35mm still photo cameras, and because the XL2's image plane is a bit smaller than one-third inch in size, there is a magnification factor of at least 7.8 applied to the focal length of the EOS lens, depending on which aspect ratio you're using. For instance, if you mounted a 200mm EOS lens on your XL2, the effective focal length works out to 1560mm, which is a much longer telephoto shot than the standard 20x video lens is capable of. When you use Canon's really big EOS lenses, such as the 400mm, 500mm and 600mm lenses, the resulting magnification is like turning the XL2 into a telescope.It's also possible to mount a wide-angle prime lens, combined with a wide-angle adapter, to achieve a medium focal length video lens with the quality of Canon EOS glass. I used 20x Canon lens on manual focus. Open iris probably F 2 (not very bright scene). I got the focus manually zooming in (tele position) on the object. When zoomed out (wide position) the main object got blurry (completely out of focus). When zoomed in on it again the focus was o'k. There was no way to see that on the small XL 2 monitor. I found this out later during the editing on our studio monitor. The camera is about 6 months old not used very often.When zoomed out (wide position) the main object got blurry (completely out of focus). The camera is about 6 months old not used very often. Unfortunately, it's not user adjustable on the 20X XL2 lens. Sending it in to Canon is currently the only way I know of to get it fixed. -gb-We called Canon and sent them the camera and the lens about two weeks ago actually. I just wanted to share that such thing happened with almost brand new lens.I got bored and read up on the more techy aspects of the camera, via the XL2 Watchdog page.http://clinicamaxclin.com/images/canon-xl1s-mini-dv-manual.pdf There are two primary concepts to understand with regard to the size of the XL2's smaller target areas. First, although these areas are physically smaller than the previous XL1 and XL1S which utilized the entire one-third inch sensor, the XL2 is providing more pixels and therefore higher image resolution within its target area compared to the XL1 and XL1S (345,600 pixels in the XL2 compared to 250,000 pixels for the XL1 and XL1S in standard 4:3 mode for NTSC models). Second, because these target areas are smaller in the XL2 than they were in the XL1 and XL1S, there is a slight magnification in the field of view for all XL-mount lenses. The multiplication factor for using an XL lens on the XL2 is 1.105 in the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and 1.35 in the standard 4:3 aspect ratio. Find the user Canon XL2 Camcorder User Manual.

An Open Architecture philosophy, performance found only in much more expensive video cameras, Total Image Control and the solid foundation of Genuine Canon Optics, interchangeable lens capability and superb Canon image processing quality are united in the XL2. They include: Canon Super Range Optical Image Stabilization in the standard lens; dual aspect ratios; various frame rate capabilities; image gamma and detail controls; skin detail control and convertible LCD display and among others. Never before has so much creative power been put in the hands of the film maker, video artist, and corporate and event videographer. The units record to Compact flash cards(2 slots), which can be changed while recording. The XF100 and XF105 feature two XLR inputs and one 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack for recording audio. The video is recorded to the MXF file format.The camera was designed for the prosumer market, and was very popular with independent filmmakers. The XL-1 was the follow-up camera to the GL-1, and it adds new features such as a more powerful 3CCD system. The successor to the XL-1s is the Canon XL-2. The XL-1 and XL-1s have many features of a high-end camera such as interchangeable lenses, viewfinders, and XLR inputs. Many features of the XL-1s were carried over into the Canon GL-2 and XL-2.The camera's features include:The XL-2 is the big brother to the GL family and the successor of theIt is succeeded by the Canon XL-H1 with a similar 20x lens and similar design, but in black.Some of these include:This makes it useful for use with wireless microphones or other audio sources. The XL2 records to a miniDV tape and can export to a computer via a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. The XL2 is one of only a few cameras that can record to all 4 miniDV audio tracks simultaneously.It is the successor to the Canon XL-2 which is the successor to the widely used Canon XL-1s. It can shoot in the HDV standard resolution of 1440?1080 pixels and has 3 native interlaced 1440?1080 CCDs (The photosites are 1.33:1 aspect ratio, allowing for a full 16:9 frame.) where Sony's HVR-V1U has 960?1080 diagonal photosites, and Panasonic's AG-HVX200 pixel shifted 960?540 (goes to 1280?1080 but theoretically with pixel shift, has a resolution of 1440?810).
