The new VIXIA HF100 ( HF100,iVIS HF100) is Canon’s first compact, lightweight HD video camcorder to feature. The VIXIA HF100 uses the convenient SD/SDHC memory format. The VIXIA HF100 incorporate the Canon Full HD CMOS sensor and a 12x optical zoom Canon Video Lens that features high resolving power along with optical Image Stabilization. In addition, Canon’s proprietary high-performance DIGIC DV II image processor realizes 1920 x 1080-pixel full high-definition from video capture to recording, making possible the high-quality, faithful color reproduction that users expect from HD video.
Furthermore, the VIXIA HF100 come equipped with a broad range of functions supporting high-quality HD video capture, including Canon’s Instant AF (autofocus) system for fast, accurate, and sharp focusing. Users can also enhance their videos by changing the shooting mode to 24p Cinema Effect Mode, which creates a professional “film look” by combining progressive shooting with the same rate used in movie film, or the 30p Progressive Mode.*1 The VIXIA HF100 also allow users to backup stored video directly to 12 cm DVD discs using the Canon DVD Writer DW-100 to be released in March 2008.
