WP-V1

Canon VIXIA camcorders capture and record at a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 for clarity that is nothing short of remarkable. This meticulous level of detail is fully supported by the unmatched quality of Canon optics and processing technologies, such as the Full HD CMOS sensor. Canon camcorders offer an HD experience like no other.

1920 x 1080 Full HD Recording

Flash Memory

Lightweight, compact and easy to operate — flash memory offers fast response and low power consumption. And dual flash memory camcorders allow you to record video to an internal flash drive as well as a removable SDHCmemory card. When you want to view your video (or when the internal flash drive becomes full) simply transfer footage between the internal flash drive and SDHC memory card, then pop it into your computer or HDTV.

Canon Video Technology

DIGIC DV III Image Processor

Genuine Canon Optics

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.

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 new Canon technologies including Genuine Canon Face Detection, an Advanced Auto Exposure system and 8.0 Megapixel photo capture.

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’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 broaderrange of motion. Extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration common with walking.

Sharp focus is especially important in HD, so Canon developed Instant AF, a revolutionary new focusing system that combines an external sensor with Canon’s proven high-performance AF system. The two work together to dramatically decrease focusing time, especially when shooting in dim light or with the camera in motion.

Video Snapshot Mode allows you to capture the highlights of an once-in-a-lifetime trip, or a family milestone. Simply

record a series

of 4-second video clips, blend

in your favorite music, and create

an exciting movie that will get everyone’s attention. For added flexibility, Advanced Video Snapshot Mode allows you to capture video clips in playback as well.

Video Snapshot Mode

The same high quality Face Detection technology used in Canon digital cameras is now available in Canon high definition 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 orsideways. 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.
