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 ensuresthe
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 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 broader range
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.

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 or sideways. 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.
