The Canon iVIS HF S10, the top-of-the-line model in the iVIS series, delivers highimage quality and superlative functionality. A full HD CMOS sensor featuring 8.59 megapixels makes possible 8.0-megapixel photo capture as well as the recording of High-definition video, while the model’s Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens incorporates optical Image Stabilization and 10x optical zoom. The iVIS HF S10 also features the newly developed DIGIC DV III image processor for fast processing and high image quality.
Through the incorporation of the latest technologies in its CMOS sensor, lens, and image processor, the iVIS HF S10 realizes a horizontal resolution equal to approximately 900 TV lines, the highest level of resolution offered by a consumer-model video camcorder. The new HF S10 also utilizes the same Face Detection technology found in digital cameras to achieve optimal video performance, allowing users to beautifully capture human subjects even when they are moving or facing down or to the side. The iVIS HF S10 also incorporates features befitting its top-of-the-line status, such as an internal 32GB flash memory, High Speed Auto Focus (AF) for rapid high-resolution focus, and a customizable dial and key where users can assign frequently used functions. Additional features include Video Snapshot Mode, which records a series of 4-second video “snapshots” and replays them with one of several instrumental musical tracks included on the internal flash drive, and Pre-Record, which can continuously record three seconds of video memory before the Record button is pushed to ensure that no precious memory is missed.
