MiniDV HD digital camcorder
497305739
10x high definition video lens
With more than 70 years of expertise in manufacturing lenses for professional broadcast and still photography, the Canon name represents optical excellence. The HV10 Genuine Canon 10x HD video zoom lens is designed specifically to capture crisp high definition video. It incorporates an aspherical lens, super spectra coating technology and a new gradation ND filter design to ensure stunning image quality, while minimizing aberration. A built-in electronic lens cover puts a sleek end to dangling lens caps.
Super-range optical image stabilizer
The HV10 HDV features Canon's super-range optical image stabilizer to help deliver smooth, steady video, even at longer focal lengths. The system uses two detection methods (gyro and vector) to sense the widest range of vibrations from hand-held shake, to vibration from a moving vehicle. By using optical stabilization, it can compensate for a greater degree of camera shake and avoid any loss in image quality, unlike electronic image stabilizers. It is even effective for both video and photos.
Canon True HD CMOS sensor (1920 x 1080)
Canon's expertise in designing and manufacturing CMOS image sensors for its line of EOS digital SLR cameras is now available in the Canon HV10 HDV camcorder. The 2.96 megapixel CMOS sensor captures true HD information at 1920 x 1080, giving your images the ultimate in realistic detail. Canon's advanced noise reduction technology ensures the purity of each pixel even in dim light, minimizing noise and other aberrations. It incorporates an RGB primary color filter with Bayer placement to deliver a sharp HD image with vibrant and accurate color reproduction.
DIGIC DV II
The HV10 features DIGIC DV II, Canon's image processor, designed specifically for HD video and photos. DIGIC DV II provides the highly accurate color and tonal reproduction needed for exceptional HD image quality. A new noise reduction system, combined with a new gamma system, helps to reduce noise in monotone and shadow areas. The fast processing speed of the DIGIC DV II chip allows video and photos to be shot simultaneously. Furthermore, the processor lowers power consumption, providing longer battery life.
Instant AF
Since achieving sharp focus is critical when shooting in high definition, the HV10 features Canon's revolutionary new Instant AF focusing system. It offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional autofocus systems). Instant AF uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon's autofocus system, to help significantly decrease the time it takes to find focus. It is especially effective when shooting at night, in high-brightness conditions or when following a moving subject.
Enhanced usability
The HV10 camcorder is equipped with a bright, Ultra Video Light, so you can keep shooting in low-light conditions. The HV10 also offers features for achieving professional results. An adjustable zebra pattern helps you identify overexposed areas. For better accuracy when manual focusing, "peaking" enhances the edge or outline of your subject. Level shot control displays a horizontal marker to keep your subject level, while a grid marker divides the screen into thirds (with horizontal & vertical lines), making it easy to compose great shots. And smooth zoom control allows you to zoom at a constant speed, for a polished look.
2.7 megapixel photos
Inside the HV10 camcorder lives a full-featured Canon digital camera, allowing you to capture stunning 2.7 megapixel photos (1920 x 1440) onto a tiny miniSD card. Just like an advanced Canon camera, the HV10 offers: 9 piont AiAF (Auto Intelligent Auto Focus), metering modes, shutter and aperture priority, continuous shooting mode, auto exposure bracketing, and a built-in flash with red-eye reduction. With the histogram display, you can monitor the brightness of your shots, allowing you to adjust successive shots to your preference. It also features direct printing, making it simple, quick, and convenient to produce high quality photos, just by connecting to any PictBridge compatible printer.
Simultaneous photo shooting
Don't let a great photo opportunity pass you by, even while you're shooting video. The HV10 allows simultaneous photo shooting. Simply press the photo button to capture a 2.0 megapixel (1920 x 1080) photo to a memory card with no interruption to your video. You can even capture photos from tape during playback.
