Another critical objective when shooting in High De
fi
nition is achieving a very sharp focus. The
HG10 camcorder features Canon’s revolutionary Instant AF focusing system which offers a dramatic
improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional auto focus systems). The
Instant AF feature uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon’s auto focus system, to
help signi
fi
cantly decrease the time it takes to
fi
nd focus, even in low light conditions. This system
achieves focus instantaneously, reducing focus “hunting.” The bene
fi
ts of Instant AF are especially
seen in high brightness and night shooting situations. With Instant AF, it’s possible to capture fast,
accurate focusing, even when following a moving subject.
Canon Exclusive: Instant AF
24p Cinema Mode
24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a
professional “
fi
lm-look.” You can change the camcorder’s frame capture
rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the
same frame rate as movie
fi
lm. In addition, you can use the HG10’s
CINE setting, which changes the color and tonal characteristics, evoking
the look and feel of a movie shown in a theater. For added
fl
exibility,
these settings can be used together or independently.
