Features
AVCHD DVD in a Compact Size
The HG10 is Canon’s
fi
rst AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High De
fi
nition) Format Hard Disk Drive
camcorder. AVCHD uses an MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video codec, recording true 1080 High De
fi
nition
resolution video. It allows you to capture more video onto a hard disk using less storage, for extended
recording time. You can play the video directly from the camcorder on your HDTV, or easily download
it onto your Windows XP™ or Vista™ system computer for playback, editing or sharing with friends
and family. You can also burn video onto DVDs which play in AVCHD compatible Blu-ray disc
players.

Higher audio quality is also yours with the AVCHD format. All of this comes in a compact
AVCHD format HDD camcorder, measuring only 3.2” wide, 3” high and 5.1” deep.
Added to the HG10’s handy size is the convenience of
shooting high de
fi
nition onto a hard disk. You’ll never
tape over a precious moment by accident, since the disk
automatically searches for a blank space on which to
record.
