CANON OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZER
TECHNOLOGY
Smarter IS for Sharp, Steady Video
Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology helps to reduce
the shake of handheld shooting for sharp, steady video in any
situation. Dynamic SuperRange OIS provides continuous
adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a
broad range of camera shake. Extra compensation is applied at
wide-angle focal lengths to help reduce shaking that occurs while
walking. Powered IS provides compensation at the telephoto end
of the zoom range where camera shake is magnified. Intelligent
IS analyzes movement and applies the best shake correction
method for the shooting situation. Select VIXIA camcorders add
roll axes correction, for a total of five-axis correction.
INSTANT AUTOFOCUS
The Fast, Sharp Focus HD
Demands
Sharp focus is crucial when shooting high definition video.
Canon’s proprietary Instant Autofocus system delivers fast,
accurate focus, even when you’re shooting in bright light, at
night, or with the camera in motion. First, an external sensor
uses fast phase difference detection to calculate the distance
to the subject and establish initial quick focus. Then, the
internal CMOS image sensor is used with Canon’s TTL-AF
technology to establish final focus with outstanding precision.
This revolutionary hybrid system decreases focusing time and
helps ensure consistently sharp video.
DUAL RECORDING
MP4 / AVCHD
Dual Recording helps ensure that no matter how you decide
to use the video you’ve recorded, you’ll have the right
format available. VIXIA camcorders with Dual Recording
simultaneously record video in both MP4 and AVCHD formats.
The widely used MP4 format provides quick, conversion-free
playback on compatible tablets and smartphones, and lets you
upload videos directly to social networking sites for easy sharing
with friends, family and the world – anytime, anywhere. AVCHD
format is perfect for watching videos on HDTVs or archiving
them to Blu-ray discs.
FULL HD RECORDING
Brilliant Clarity in
Every Detail
Select VIXIA High Definition camcorders not only capture
images in Full HD, but record and output at 1920 x 1080 as
well, so you get Full HD from lens to screen. Because this
meticulous level of detail is fully supported by the superb
Genuine Canon Optics and proprietary Canon
DV HD
video image processing technologies, Canon camcorders
offer an HD experience that will astound you.
