Enjoying High-Definition Video with

your Camcorder

Preserve your most treasured memories, be it unforgettable scenery or

cherished moments spent with family and friends, with high-definition

video recordings of a quality second only to actually being there.

What is High-Definition Video?

Your camcorder features a full high-definition image sensor (Full HD CMOS)

that captures video at a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels1. This results in

video recordings of unparalleled high quality, fine detail and lifelike vivid

colors.

How does full high definition compare with standard-definition TV

broadcasts?

Approximately 5 times the number of pixels.

Almost 90% more scanning lines.

“Full HD 1080” refers to Canon camcorders compliant with

high-definition video composed of 1,080 vertical pixels

(scanning lines).

Capture the finest detail, like the

movement or shine of a single

strand of hair

1,080

lines

1.9

1Video is recorded at this resolution only when the recording mode is set to MXP or

FXP mode. In other recording modes, the picture is recorded at 1,440 x 1,080

pixels.

COPY

What are the advantages of flash memory?

Your videos and photos are recorded in the built-in memory or on

commercially available SD/SDHC memory cards2using AVCHD

specifications3. Recording on flash memory means that there are no moving

parts in the recorder unit of the camcorder. To you, it means a camcorder

that is smaller, lighter and faster. In fact, using the Quick Start function

( 44) you can open the LCD panel and start recording within

approximately one second.

Any New Functions?

Pre-recording When pre-recording ( 67) is activated, the camcorder

starts recording video continuously into a temporary 3-second memory.

When you press the button, the scene recorded will have

started 3 seconds before you started shooting. This is especially useful

when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.

Face Detection With face detection ( 71), have the camcorder

automatically detect people's faces and use this information to adjust the

focus and set the best exposure for beautiful videos and photos.

Video Snapshot Discover a fun, new way to play back video. Shoot or

capture ( 63) short scenes about 4 seconds in length and arrange them

into a video clip set to your favorite background music.

Cinema Mode Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the

[ Cine Mode] recording program ( 62) with the 25 fps progressive

frame rate.

START/STOP

2For details about memory cards that can be used with this camcorder refer to

Using a Memory Card (37).

3AVCHD is the new standard for recording high-definition video. With AVCHD

specifications, the video signal is recorded using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compres-

sion and the audio signal is recorded in Dolby Digital.

COPY

Can I play back my high-definition video on

other devices?

Needless to say, you can connect your camcorder to an HDTV to enjoy your

recordings with family and friends ( 120). You also have the following

options:

• You can easily play back video recorded on the memory card by

inserting the memory card directly into AVCHD-compatible TV sets

and HDD or DVD recorders that feature an SD/SDHC memory card

slot4. For details, refer to the instruction manual of your TV or digital

video recorder.

• You can play back AVCHD discs of your recordings created using the

optional DW-100 DVD Burner (122) on the DVD Burner itself or on

AVCHD-compatible DVD players or Blu-ray Disc players5.

4Depending on the device used, correct playback may not be possible even if the

device is AVCHD-compatible. In such case, play back the recordings on the

memory card using the camcorder.

5AVCHD discs containing scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be created with

the optional DW-100 DVD burner. Use the software on the supplied Video Tools

CD-ROM to back up such scenes.
