Its ergonomic design, versatile shooting modes, and high-precision fluorite lens deliver broadcast-quality video with vivid colors and steady shots. Whether filming fast action or creative projects, the XM1 offers intuitive controls and professional-grade features that elevate your storytelling. ## Description Manufacturer's Description At last there’s a high-performance camcorder for serious digital enthusiasts. The Canon XM1 is the sister model to the XL1, a camcorder highly praised by the professionals for its state of the art technology with broadcast quality pictures. Based on the same exceptional design, the XM1 combines the strengths of the Canon L lens system, CCD technology and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to achieve outstanding picture quality. Equipped with a series of pre-programmed settings and filming effects, this serious tool will help you attain new levels of creativity. Renowned for its expertise in imaging technology, Canon is the first video manufacturer to bring out a camcorder equipped with a Fluorite lens. Fluorite is a natural ore with the powerful ability to collect light at a single point, thus by-passing the optical limitations posed by normal glass. The incorporation of fluorite technology provides unrivalled sharpness and resolution while eliminating most colour aberrations. The improved image quality is especially apparent when filming at high magnifications. What’s more, to beat brightness blur caused by sand or snow, an ND filter reduces the amount of light to the CCD. The XM1 also boasts a 20x optical zoom which is equivalent to a huge 806mm zoom lens on a 35mm SLR camera and which simply outperforms existing 3 CCD camcorders. It operates in combination with the Optical Image Stabiliser, which is built into the lens and virtually eliminates camera shake, previously a problem experienced when shooting with long zoom ratios. Canon camcorder Image Stabilization operates in a purely optical manner outperforming models with electronic stabilization. Canon’s XM1 incorporates a 3 CCD system with Pixel Shift to bring you high quality colour recordings. Each CCD sensor has 320,000 pixels and is dedicated to a primary colour, red, green or blue, to enhance natural colour reproduction with low colour noise. The Pixel Shift feature automatically compensates for the human eye’s sensitivity to green and provides detailed resolution rivalling that of 480,000 pixel systems. As each pixel captures more light, you get a better signal-to-noise ratio and greater dynamic range. Vertical smear is thus minimised, further contributing to the impressive picture quality. Thanks to its pedigree, Canon’s XM1 is designed with ease of use in mind. This ergonomic model features a centralised switch layout to put the most frequently used controls at your fingertips. The XM1 can also be carried in two ways. With dual trigger and dual zoom controls together with a manual focus ring, you have unparalleled ease of use whether shooting from the shoulder, hip or tripod. The grip fits your hand securely, ensuring a firm hold on the camera and giving rock-steady hand held images even at high zoom ratios. The 180,000 pixel colour viewfinder is complimented by the LCD screen. The screen is a handy 2.5 inches in size and fully rotational for greatly enhanced freedom in shooting. With three shooting modes, the XM1 allows you to be endlessly versatile. Normal movie mode shoots flawless action movie sequences. Frame Movie mode shoots 25 frames per second, for razor-sharp freeze framing, while Digital Photo mode converts the XM1 into a powerful digital camera, compatible with Canon Speedlites to provide optimum exposure. What’s more, the Command Dial allows you to easily switch between six Auto Exposure modes and a manual mode: Full Auto, Auto, Shutter Priority, Iris Priority, Manual, Sand & Snow and Spotlight. Iris Priority, for instance, rather like Aperture Priority in an SLR camera, adjusts the depth of field to accentuate a subject against a blurred background, to give it greater emphasis, while the XM1 automatically calculates shutter speed and lighting factors. Similarly, shutter priority allows fast and sharp action shots of sports events, for instance. And should part of the image you are about to shoot be overexposed, a zebra stripe pattern warns you automatically. As you’d expect, the XM1 also provides a variety of digital effects while recording. Using these you can beef up your recordings, making them look more professional with fade-outs, fading to black and white as well as slimming, stretching and strobe motion. The XM1 incorporates a DV-in and a DV-out terminal; the industry-standard IEEE 1394. This is the digital interface used to connect with other digital devices. One single two-way cable takes stereo sound, plus image as well as control data (like start, stop or fast forward) to or from the camcorder to a PC or VCR. As the signal remains in digital form, there is no loss of quality. You can then, with appropriate software, manipulate, edit or copy images. With the XM1 the possibilities are infinite. The XM1 features a newly developed microphone. Constructed out of two pairs of microphone elements per direction; left and right. This microphone perfects directional recording ability, producing considerably richer stereo sound. Two comfortable handling grips on the top and side combined with a centralised switch panel for ease-of-use whether shooting from the shoulder, hip or tripod. Featuring dual trigger and dual zoom controls. A 180,000 pixel colour viewfinder for framing shots with "zebra" feature – a pattern of diagonal stripes that appears in the viewfinder to highlight areas of overexposure. A practical mode dial with the choice of seven pre-programmed shooting modes including Shutter Priority, Iris Priority, Sand & Snow and Spotlight. A fully rotational LCD screen with high-resolution images to monitor exactly what you’re shooting. The LCD screen can also be used to playback your recordings when a TV monitor is not available. ## Features - Mini DV - Optical zoom: 20x - Sensor resolution: 0.32 Megapixel - Digital zoom: 100x - Weight: 1200g - Image stabiliser - Digital Screen size: 2.5 inch - Colour Viewfinder - 3 CCD Optical Sensor - Lens Aperture: F/1.6-2.9 - Special Effects - Shooting Modes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Package Weight | 0.01 Pounds | | Product Dimensions L x W x H | 27.2 x 11.7 x 13.5 centimetres | | Item Weight | 2.76 Pounds | | Brand | Canon | | Colour | silver | | Has image stabilisation | Yes | | Included components | batteries, charger, AV cables, FireWire cable, Mini DV tape, user manual | | Part number | DM-XM1 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Type | Optical, Digital | | Focus type | Manual Focus | | Style | Minimalist | | Effective still resolution | 0.32 MP | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canon - **Photo sensor technology:** CCD - **Video capture resolution:** 480p - **Maximum aperture:** 1.6 f - **Flash memory type:** SDHC - **Video capture format:** MOV - **Supported audio format:** AAC, PCM - **Screen size:** 2.5 Inches - **Connectivity technology:** FireWire - **Colour:** silver ## Images ![Canon DM-XM1 Professional Mini DV Camcorder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/210FZ1MWTSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by T***N on 9 February 2020* Great camcorder though sadly was incompatible with my computers so had to return it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have taken so far 60 minutes of filming and very pleased with the results *by A***R on 3 January 2016* Arrived very well wrapped and as described by seller.
