Genuine Canon Optics
Canon optics are the backbone of Canon’s
superior image quality. Using many of the same
technologies that have made Canon lenses
legendary the world over – Super Spectra
multi-coating, aspherical elements and more – Canon’s video
lenses deliver unsurpassed detail, resolution, contrast and color.
Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor
DIGIC DV III is Canon’s most
advanced HD image processor
ever, helping to deliver enhanced image
quality, true color production for both video
and photos, and a sophisticated noise reduction system for
exceptional low-light performance. It is also the high-speed
engine which powers a variety of Canon technologies including
Genuine Canon Face Detection, Smart Auto and 8.0 megapixel
photo capture.
Canon Full HD CMOS Image Sensor
Developed and perfected in Canon’s
EOS Digital SLR cameras, the CMOS Image
Sensor provides stunningly realistic detail,
capturing Full HD information at 1920 x 1080.
Advanced noise reduction technology ensures the
purity of each pixel even in dim light, while an RGB primary color
filter delivers sharp HD movies with vibrant, accurate color.
Flash Memory
Canon flash memory camcorders allow you to record either to
an SD memory card, or directly to an internal flash drive.* With
no moving parts, flash memory technology means that you are
getting a camcorder that is compact and lightweight with a
reduced risk of losing data, faster response time and lower
power consumption. Canon flash memory camcorders are the
perfect blend of security, convenience and performance.

Dynamic SuperRange Optical
Image Stabilizer with Powered IS
Dynamic SuperRange OIS
takes shake correction to a whole new level. It
provides continuous adjustment throughout the
entire zoom range to correct an even broader range of
motion. Extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal
lengths to help eliminate unwanted vibration common with walking.
Powered IS provides an even higher level of compensation for
subtle hand movement at the telephoto end of the zoom range.
Smart Auto
Smart Auto makes shooting great video easier than
ever before. Using the power of Canon’s DIGIC DV III
Image Processor, the camcorder intelligently detects and
analyzes faces, brightness, color, distance and movement, then
automatically selects the best settings for the scene. Whether
capturing a sunset, a day at the beach, or a fast-paced soccer
game, Smart Auto delivers exceptionally accurate results.
Touch & Track
Touch & Track allows any subject (pets, vehicles, etc.) to be
the focal point of your video simply by selecting it on the
Touch Panel LCD. It continuously tracks your subject while
automatically adjusting focus and exposure.
Genuine Canon Face Detection
The same high quality Face Detection technology
used in Canon digital cameras is available in
Canon VIXIA camcorders. Up to 35 faces can
automatically be detected, and 9 detection frames can be
displayed at one time. It will recognize faces that are turned
down or sideways. In addition, a specific face may be selected
as the main subject for continuous tracking. Playback also
allows you to access specific scenes based on faces.
HD-to-SD Downconversion
HD-to-SD Downconversion allows you to convert recorded high
definition video to standard definition files while safely preserving
the original HD video. These standard definition files make it
even more convenient to edit, share video online, or create a DVD.
Advanced Video Snapshot
Advanced Video Snapshot allows you to capture
the highlights of an once-in-a-lifetime trip or a
family milestone. Simply record a series of 2, 4 or 8-second
video clips, blend in your favorite music and create an exciting
movie that will get everyone’s attention. For added flexibility,
you can also capture video clips in playback as well.
