The new Canon iVIS HF M31 delivers increased functionality and exceptional image quality through such all-new features as a Touch Panel LCD screen incorporating intuitive Touch and Track technology, Powered IS, and Smart Auto mode. The model’s 2.7-inch Touch Panel LCD incorporates advanced Touch and Track technology that allows users to select an object to focus on and track during video capture, ensuring even moving objects such as people, pets or cars are kept in focus and properly exposed.

The iVIS HF M31 is equipped with Powered IS, enhanced optical image stabilization that provides an even higher level of compensation for subtle hand movement at the telephoto end of the zoom range, while the advanced Dynamic mode compensates for camera shake from shooting while walking. Additionally, the Smart Auto mode intelligently detects and analyzes subjects, brightness, color, distance and movement and automatically applies optimal settings based on a classification of 31 shooting scenes.

Canon’s iVIS HF M31 features a 3.89-megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor and Genuine Canon HD Video Lens with 15x optical zoom, recording high-resolution HD video at the maximum Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD)-format bit rate of 24 Mbps, while high-speed Instant AF (Auto Focus) further contributes to outstanding imaging performance. The unit comes equipped with 32GB of internal flash memory and an SD/SDHC memory card slot, allowing for uninterrupted data capture when the primary recording media is full via the Relay Recording function.
