Canon Full HD CMOS Image Sensor
Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor
VIXIA high definition camcorders have a
decided edge thanks to Canon’s longstanding
expertise in the design and manufacture of CMOS
Image Sensors. The Full HD CMOS Image Sensor
captures images at 1920 x 1080 pixels to create
true HD video, and on-chip noise reduction technology ensures that even
in dimly-lit scenes, the signals from each pixel are as pure as possible. The resulting Full HD video is
stunningly lifelike, with brilliant clarity in every detail.

The Canon name is synonymous with optical excellence. More
than seven decades of manufacturing lenses for professional
broadcast and photography have given Canon superiority in
its optical products, and a legendary reputa-
tion among professional videographers
and photographers. Every Canon
camcorder is equipped with a
Genuine Canon Video Lens.
High definition video lenses
use an aspherical lens to
achieve low chromatic aberra-
tion with high resolution, and
they use super spectra coating
technology to lower flare and
ghosting. A gradation ND system
ensures better exposure in
bright shooting situations.

Canon’s sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake
instantly, so even handheld video taken at long focal lengths is sharp and steady.
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 eliminate unwanted vibration common with walking.

Sharp focus is crucial when shooting high-resolution 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. The revolutionary hybrid system combines an external sensor
with Canon’s proven high-performance AF system to dramatically decrease focusing time and ensure
consistently sharp video.
Canon Advantage
24Mbps Recording offers the highest bit rate in the AVCHD standard. The result is
enhanced detail, finer tonal gradation and improved reproduction of moving subjects.

More tone, more detail,more reality
Accurate focus adapts to changing subject
First, phase difference detection (with the external
sensor) is used to calculate the distance to the
subject and the lens is quickly moved.
Next, the focus is accurately aligned with Canon’s
