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 realisticdetail,
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 primarycolor
filter delivers sharp HD movies with vibrant, accurate color.
DIGIC DV III is Canon’s most
advanced HD imageprocessor
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 isalso the high-speed
engine which powers a variety of new Canon technologies
including 8.0 Megapixel photo capture, 6.0 Megapixel
Simultaneous Photo Recording, a new Advanced Auto Exposure
system and Genuine Canon Face Detection.
Canon optics are the backbone of Canon’s
superior image quality. Using many ofthe 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
Optical Image Stabilizer
system corrects camera
shake instantly. Shots are clear
and steady, whether the
camera is in motion, shooting
photos, or handheld at long
focal lengths.And because the system is optical,
there is no loss in image quality.
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.

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 or sideways. In addition, a specific
face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking.
Playback also allows you to access specificscenes based on faces.
