Canon’s sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake 

instantly, so even handheld video taken at long focal lengths is sharp and steady.

Dynamic SuperRange OIS takes shake correction to a whole new level. It provides continuous adjustment

throughout the entire zoom range to correct an even broader range of motion. Extra compensation is

applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration common with walking.

Sharp focus is crucial when shooting high-resolution high definition video. Canon’s proprietary

Instant Autofocus system delivers fast, accurate focus, even when you’re shooting in bright light, 

at night, or with the camera in motion. The revolutionary hybrid system combines an external sensor

with Canon’s proven high-performance AF system to dramatically decrease focusing time and ensure

consistently sharp video. 

Canon Advantage

24Mbps Recording offers the highest bit rate in the AVCHD standard. The result is

enhanced detail, finer tonal gradation and improved reproduction of moving subjects.

AF

More tone, more detail,
more reality

Accurate focus adapts 

to changing subject

First, phase difference detection (with the external

sensor) is used to calculate the distance to the

subject and the lens is quickly moved.

Next, the focus is accurately aligned with Canon’s

TTL-AF method (using the CMOS Image Sensor).
