Designed for users who enjoy creative hobbies and lifestyles, the Canon iVIS mini delivers shooting style freedom by enabling convenient hands-free place-and-shoot recording and shooting video of oneself.

Equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens and offering operability that supports hands-free shooting, it not only makes possible the creation of impressive movies documenting indoor performances such as dance routines and musical recitals, as well as cooking, it also provides the ideal means for users to review and check the rehearsals of such performances.

The iVIS mini’s ultra-wide-angle lens realizes a 170-degree angle of view (35 mm equivalent: 15.4 mm) with an aspect ratio of 4:3 when capturing still images, and a 160-degree angle of view (35 mm equivalent: 16.8 mm) with an aspect ratio of 16:9 when recording video. As such, it enables corner-to-corner coverage when shooting in narrow indoor spaces, such as a studio or café, producing visually impressive movies with an enhanced sense of perspective.

The iVIS mini’s vari-angle LCD monitor is attached by a parallel two-axis hinge mechanism that facilitates shooting from a variety of angles. When the monitor faces the rear, it can swing up to a maximum angle of 80 degrees, and in the front-facing position, it can be raised up to 90 degrees for self-shooting. Additionally, a built-in stand allows the camcorder to be placed at shooting angles of up to 60 degrees, making hands-free shooting easier than ever.

Featuring the HS System, which combines an approximately 12.8-megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and the high-performance DIGIC DV4 imaging platform, the iVIS mini captures high-resolution movies and still images with low noise, even when shooting in low-light settings.
In addition to high-quality video, the iVIS mini achieves high-quality audio thanks to a built-in stereo microphone. Furthermore, with Audio Scene Select, users can choose from a variety of audio modes for the sound frequency response and microphone directional characteristic ideally suited to each shooting situation. Audio Scene Select ensures high-quality sound when shooting musical performances while suppressing unwanted road noise when shooting during drives.

Canon’s iVIS mini includes a Mirror Image function that horizontally reverses the orientation of the image during recording and playback to provide users with an effective way of checking their movements for such activities as dance performances or practicing their golf swing.

Featuring built-in Wi-Fi,^*1 the iVIS mini also enables the uploading of recorded movies to SNS sites^*2 as well as live streaming and remote shooting using a smartphone or tablet device.^*3
