The iVIS HF G40, successor to the iVIS HF G20 (released in February 2013), features three key component upgrades from the previous model—the zoom lens, CMOS sensor and imaging platform—that deliver exceptional image quality with low noise even when shooting in low-light conditions.
The Canon camcorder offers a variety of recording modes supporting a range of video expression possibilities. In addition to the Highlight Priority mode, it includes a Wide DR Gamma mode that delivers an expanded dynamic range. The HF G40’s Wide DR mode, which minimizes the occurrence of under- and over-exposed areas while making possible video with smooth color gradation, achieves a dynamic range that has been expanded to 600 percent from the 300 percent offered in the previous model.
