* The Image Quality of HD
The HV10 is the HD camcorder to go along with everything else in your HD
world. It captures true 1080 High Definition resolution video in 16:9
format, using MiniDV cassette tapes. The HV10's true 16:9 widescreen HD
image is made for your new HD widescreen TV. High Definition and
widescreen are the future. Be sure you invest in that future with
Canon's HV10.
At the same time, the HV10 gives you the flexibility to record in SD
(standard definition) mode, too. That means you can enjoy the ultimate
in HD video and photo quality, and still shoot SD video for viewing on
your non-HD equipment.
* Convenience in a Compact Size
The HV10 is the world's smallest HDV camcorder. It's easy to take this
ultra compact camcorder wherever you go, because it weighs in at less
than a pound and has a slim design. That means you always have both an
HD camcorder and a high quality digital still camera with you to capture
the precious moments of your life.
Along with its compact size, the HV10 is designed for easy one-hand
operation, with all of its controls within easy reach.
* HD Video Lens
Since 1934, Canon has been producing exceptional photographic lenses
that are synonymous with unsurpassed optical performance. Because of
Genuine Canon Optics, every Canon broadcast lens, 35mm film camera,
digital camera and camcorder assures brilliant optical quality -- and
the HV10 is no exception.
The HV10 comes with an outstanding High Definition video lens -- a 10x
Genuine Canon Optical zoom. It's the lens you need to record long shots
of your child on the soccer field, wide shots of beautiful landscapes,
and everything in-between. And because it comes with five pre-set zoom
speeds, you always get smooth, steady, professional looking zooms shots.
Super spectra coating technology results in images with minimal flare
and ghosting. Plus, the new lens' aspheric design reduces aberration and
increases resolution, ensuring crisp, sharp video and enhancing the HD
image quality. Not only that, but a new gradation ND system gives you
better exposures in bright shooting situations.
* True HD CMOS Sensor (1920 x 1080)
The HV10 is the first Canon camcorder to feature a Canon designed and
manufactured CMOS image sensor. The CMOS image sensors in Canon's EOS
Series Digital SLR cameras result in outstanding digital photographs. In
the HV10, the CMOS sensor reproduces high-resolution images at 1920 x
1080 resolution with full HD information in video images.
Compared to a CCD, the HV10's CMOS's high color resolution and advanced
color reproduction gives brilliant results. It is also unique in
featuring Canon's proprietary noise reduction technologies for crisp,
sharp images. Low noise technology also means that even in dimly lit
scenes, the signal from each pixel is as pure as possible, with minimal
noise or other aberrations. It's the ideal sensor for HD.
In addition, the HV10 uses an RGB Primary Color Filter that separates
light into red, green and blue color components. This results in vibrant
images with deep, rich, accurate color and natural-looking tones similar
to what you'd obtain from 3 CCD camcorders.
* DIGIC DV II
DIGIC DV II is the next generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV signal
processing technology. Designed specifically for HD, DIGIC DV II ensures
optimal image quality. It also ensures optimal image quality for still
images, even though video and still images have different color
requirements. DIGIC DV II is just another of Canon's advanced
technologies that make the HV10 an exceptional performer.
Thanks to DIGIC DV II image processing, the HV10 produces video with
improved color reproduction -- especially in skin tones, and dark and
light scenes. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs
two types of noise reduction -- for high definition images that are
crystal clear.
Plus, DIGIC DV II features improved continuous shooting of digital
photographs with the HV10. You can shoot five (3 Megapixel) still images
per second, and enjoy faster processing of your images to your memory
card (1.4x normal card; 2.5x Hi Speed card). It also helps lower power
consumption for longer battery life.
* Super-Range Optical Image Stabilization
The HV10 is the world's first consumer HD camcorder to feature Optical
Image Stabilization (OIS). Not only that, but Canon's innovative Super-
Range OIS combines gyro- and image-sensors to give image stabilization
through a wider range of camera motions. Some image stabilization
systems correct one type of camera motion or vibration better than
another. But Canon's Super-Range OIS corrects for a wide range of
camcorder motion: the fast vibration you'd experience while recording
from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of hand-held recording; and
the slower motion of body sway. No matter what you're recording and how
you're recording it, the HV10's stabilization design corrects camcorder
shake instantly.
In addition, optical stabilization keeps your shot steady without a loss
in image quality -- something that can't be said for electronic image
stabilization. And image stabilization isn't just for video; you can
even use it for taking sharper, clearer digital photographs with your
HV10. Thanks to Canon's expertise, it's easy to eliminate one of the
telltale signs of amateur video and photography.
* Instant AF (Auto Focus)
Since it is critical to achieve very sharp focus when shooting in High
Definition, the HV10 camcorder features Canon's revolutionary Instant AF
focusing system. It offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed
and accuracy (compared to traditional autofocus systems). The Instant AF
feature uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon's autofocus
system, to help significantly decrease the time it takes to find focus,
even in low light conditions. This new system achieves focus
instantaneously, reducing focus "hunting." The benefits of Instant AF
are especially seen in high brightness, and night shooting situations.
With Instant AF, it's possible to capture fast, accurate focusing, even
when following a moving subject.
* 2.96 Megapixel HD CMOS
The HV10's CMOS sensor reproduces high-resolution images at 1920 x 1080
resolution with full HD information in video images. Compared to a CCD,
the HV10's CMOS's high color resolution and advanced color reproduction
gives brilliant results. It is also unique in featuring Canon's
proprietary noise reduction technologies for crisp, sharp images. Low
noise technology also means that even in dimly lit scenes, the signal
from each pixel is as pure as possible, with minimal noise or other
aberrations. It's the ideal sensor for HD.
In addition, the HV10 uses an RGB Primary Color Filter that separates
light into red, green and blue color components. This results in vibrant
images with deep, rich, accurate color and natural-looking tones similar
to what you'd obtain from 3 CCD camcorders.
Thanks to DIGIC DV II image processing, the HV10 produces video with
improved color reproduction -- especially in skin tones, and dark and
light scenes. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that uses two
types of noise reduction, for high definition images that are crystal
clear.
* Variable Zoom Speed Control
Another sure sign of amateur video is the unsteady zoom shot. But with
the HV10's zoom control, you simply select one of five pre-set zoom
speeds for smooth, steady, professional looking zooms.
* Level and Grid Markers
With the Level Marker feature, it's easy to keep your camera level for
more professional looking video. Simply press the Level Shot Control
button, and a horizontal marker appears in your viewfinder. Line up any
horizontal lines in your shot -- such as the horizon -- to the marker
and you can be sure your camcorder is level.
The HV10's Grid Marker feature lets you compose your shot accurately,
according to the grid in your viewfinder. You can even choose from two
different colors for the grid. This ensures that you see the grid, no
matter what the background color of your shot.
* Low Light Performance
Some of the most magical shots are taken at the end of the day or long
after the sun has set. You won't miss any of them, thanks to the HV10's
bright Ultra Video Light. The light lets you shoot subjects in color in
low light up to 4.9 feet away. So, whether it's a shot of your baby
asleep, or your toddler blowing out the birthday candles, the HV10
captures all the special moments of your life.
* Stunning Digital Photography
Canon's DoubleShot technology means your HDV camcorder is also a high
performance digital camera capable of capturing stunning 3.1 Megapixel
photos in 4:3 aspect ratio to a miniSD card (2.07 Megapixels at 16:9.)
It's like having an HD digital video camcorder and digital still camera
-- all rolled into one. What's more, the HV10's many advanced photo
features make it a camera that rivals other state-of-the-art digital
cameras. With DoubleShot, it's not just video and photos -- it's the
best of both.
* 3.1 Megapixel Still Image Recording
The same 2.96 Megapixel CMOS image sensor that ensures sharp, vivid HD
video also gives you brilliant digital photographs. Like the CMOS image
sensors in Canon's EOS Series digital SLR cameras, the HV10's image
sensor results in outstanding digital photographs. It gives an
impressive resolution of 1920 x 1440 for sharp, crisp still images.
DIGIC DV II features improved continuous shooting of digital photographs
with the HV10. You can shoot 5 (3 Megapixel) still images per second,
and enjoy faster processing of your images to your memory card (1.4x
normal card; 2.5x Hi Speed card).
* Focus Features
Auto Intelligent Auto Focus ensures sharp images and gives creative
flexibility. Even when your subject isn't in the center of the frame,
the HV10's Ai-AF will automatically select from 9 metering frames on the
screen to help bring images into sharp focus.
Since it is critical to achieve very sharp focus when shooting in High
Definition, the HV10 camcorder features Canon's revolutionary Instant AF
focusing system. It offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed
and accuracy (compared to traditional autofocus systems). The Instant AF
feature uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon's autofocus
system, to help significantly decrease the time it takes to find focus,
even in low light conditions. This new system achieves focus
instantaneously, reducing focus "hunting." The benefits of Instant AF
are especially seen in high brightness, and night shooting situations.
Its even possible to capture fast, accurate focusing, even when
following a moving subject.
And because a properly focused subject is more critical than ever with
HD, the HV10 also features Focus Assist. With one push of the Focus
Assist button (during manual focus setting), video zoom and peaking are
displayed in order to emphasize image contours. This helps in capturing
your subject in razor sharp focus. (When you start recording, this
assistance is automatically cancelled.)
* Auto Exposure Modes
Like any good digital still camera, the HV10 lets you choose from a
range of exposure modes. Auto mode automatically sets the exposure,
letting you concentrate on your subject. AV (aperture priority) mode
lets you control depth of field by letting you choose the aperture. TV
(shutter priority) mode lets you select the shutter speed for sharp,
action shots. In P (program) mode, the camcorder adjusts camera settings
automatically.
* Program AE Mode
Your life happens everywhere, so the HV10 gives you settings that
automatically result in the best exposure settings for different
conditions and different subjects.
Portrait mode ensures shallow depth of field for a pleasing background
to your shots of friends and family. Sports mode stops the action with
faster shutter speeds. Night mode is designed to give you great shots
after the sun goes down. Snow and Beach modes compensate for bright
surroundings and give you the proper exposure on your subject. Sunset
mode results in vibrant, well-exposed colors for one of the toughest
subjects to capture. Use Spotlight mode when your child is on stage and
in the spotlight -- literally -- and you want to make sure the exposure
is right for them. And, Fireworks mode records brilliant images of
another tough subject: the holiday fireworks display.
* Simultaneous Photo Recording
With the HV10, you can record HD video and capture a 2 Megapixel photo
to a memory card -- simultaneously. Simply press the photo button, and
you've got an e-mail ready digital photo to share with friends and
family.
* Histogram Display
For the advanced digital photographer, the HV10 comes with a Histogram
Display -- a feature found in Canon's line of digital SLR cameras. The
display allows you to see the brightness information of your still
images, so you can adjust your exposures as you shoot.
* Level and Grid Markers
With the Level Marker feature, it's easy to keep your camera level for
more professional looking photographs. Simply press the Level Shot
Control button, and a horizontal marker appears in your viewfinder. Line
up any horizontal lines in your shot -- such as the horizon -- to the
marker and you can be sure your camcorder is level.
The HV10's Grid Marker feature lets you compose your shot accurately,
according to the grid in your viewfinder. You can even choose from two
different colors for the grid. This ensures that you see the grid, no
matter what the background color of your shot.
* Still Capture from Tape
The versatile HV10 even lets you capture a still image from an already
recorded movie. While playing the movie in your camcorder, simply press
the photo button to capture a 2.07 Megapixel still frame on a miniSD
card. It's another way the HV10 lets you enjoy and share your precious
