Before Use
The Canon 514XL-S is a movie camera for both
sound and silent film making. It delivers exceptional
performance for macro-cinematography and low-
light XL shooting, plus beautifully natural sound
quality for sound filming. There are many special
features, such as automatic level control and sound
fading, which you need to understand. We suggest
you are fully acquainted with the camera's great
potential.
How to Operate
• Built-in Rubber Hood

the way, it clicks into position ready for use. Please
