    Highlights of the VIXIA HF G10
    The Canon VIXIA HF G10 HD Camcorder is a high-performance camcorder whose compact size 
    makes it ideal in a variety of situations. The following are just some of the many functions featured in 
    the camcorder.
    HD Recording
    HD CMOS PRO and DIGIC DV III 
    processor
    The camcorder is equipped with a 
    1/3-inch CMOS sensor that captures video at 
    an effective pixel count of approximately 2.07 
    megapixels (1920x1080). The video is then 
    processed by the state-of-the-art DIGIC DV III 
    image processor. This allows the camcorder to 
    excel in low-light situations and produce a 
    wide dynamic range.
    Wide zoom lens
    With a focal length at full wide angle of 
    30.4 mm (35 mm equivalent), the camcorder 
    has superb wide-angle shooting capability. The 
    minimum object distance is 60 cm (2 ft.) 
    throughout the entire zoom range, which 
    means that you can create a pleasing blurred 
    background effect at full telephoto. The 
    8-bladed iris aperture also enhances the 
    blurred background effect.
    Shoot cinematic video
    Using CINEMA mode and the cinema-look 
    filters (0101), you can make recordings that 
    truly look and feel cinematic. 
    Operability
    Emphasis on versatility
    This camcorder has features to make it usable 
    as a main camera but is also small enough to 
    be very portable. The advanced image 
    stabilization ( 054) will let you shoot in a 
    variety of situations in the field.
    Manual controls at your fingertips
    The focus ring helps you achieve the focus you 
    are looking for. Furthermore, you can assign 
    certain frequently used functions to a 
    customizable button and adjust those 
    functions with the accompanying dial ( 083).
    Face detection
    When a subject's face is detected, the 
    camcorder can track and focus on it ( 048). 
    Furthermore, you can have the camcorder in 
    manual focus but switch to autofocus only 
    when a face is detected, ensuring that 
    important subjects are in focus.
    Relay recording and double slot 
    recording
    When you use relay recording ( 034), you 
    can use the double memory card slot to keep 
    on recording video without interruption. Double 
    slot recording ( 035) allows you to record 
    movies simultaneously to two memory cards, 
    which is a convenient way to back up your 
    recordings.
    Other Features
    Smart AUTO
    Smart AUTO ( 039) automatically selects the 
    best scene mode for the scene you want to 
    shoot. You get spectacular recordings every 
    time without worrying about settings.
    LCD screen and viewfinder
    The LCD screen and viewfinder both have 
    100% frame coverage, which will ensure that 
    you can accurately check that your shots are 
    framed how you want them.
    Touch AE
    By simply touching the screen, you can make 
    dark areas in the picture appear brighter 
    ( 0 59). This operation is simple yet allows 
    you to shoot with the desired exposure.
    Added and improved functionality
    Other functions include two types of video 
    scopes ( 078), conversion to standard 
    definition ( 0133) and Story Creator mode 
    ( 0 98), which allows you to create 
    engrossing video stories.
