Canon 514XL - Manual (Page 7)

• Compact Zoom Lens with Large Aperture
Despite the fast f/1.4 and the high 5X zoom
ratio, the size of this lens is the same as that of
a 3X zoom lens. The diameter of the filter is
43mm. The sharpness of the picture image is
outstanding and you will surely be satisfied
with the resulting movies.
• Light, Slim and Handy Body
Even with all the newly developed mechanisms,
the Canon 514XL has a light and small body
which is very handy for such occasions as travel.
This slim body is the result of all possible
considerations in designing the optical system,
power source, and drive system, etc.

Light Metering of Wide Range
An XL camera requires an exposure meter
which is capable of measuring a wide range.
This camera has an exposure meter which
enables accurate light metering at either dimly
lit or bright places. The light measuring range is
enlarged for both the bright side and dark side.
