The new Canon iVIS HR10 HD camcorder combines a Canon-developed Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) codec with H.264 High Profile, which supports outstanding image quality while enabling a high compression rate. The combination of advanced technologies minimizes image degradation to make possible the recording of sharp, highly detailed High Definition images on 8 cm DVD discs.
The HR10 is equipped with Canon’s proprietary full HD CMOS sensor, supporting the high-speed data reading of images in full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) while also realizing exceptional imaging performance even in dim lighting for stunning high-quality video with minimal noise in light conditions down to 3 lux.
The combination of a Canon HD Video Lens, offering a 10x optical zoom with optical image stabilization, and Canon’s high-performance DIGIC DV II image processor ensures richly detailed images and high-precision color reproduction befitting HD video.
Additionally, the HR10 uses an external sensor and contrast detection to realize the Instant AF (auto focus) system, which achieves precise auto focusing performance at remarkably fast speeds. The model also includes a Cinema Effect Mode to create a professional”film-look”by combining progressive shooting with a 24p frame rate, the same frame rate used in movie film. The new Canon HD camcorder also offers advanced digital photography features, enabling users to save vivid JPEG images to a miniSD memory card.
