Canon High Definition camcorders have a
decided edge thanks to Canon’s longstand-
ing expertise in the design and manufacture of
CMOS image sensors for its celebrated EOS Digital
SLR cameras. The Full HD CMOS image sensor
captures images at 1920 x 1080 pixels to create true HD movies, and on-
chip noise reduction technology ensures that even in dimly-lit scenes, the signals from each pixel are as
pure as possible. The resulting Full HD video is stunningly lifelike, with brilliant clarity in every detail.

The Canon name is synonymous with optical excellence. More
than seven decades of manufacturing lenses for professional
broadcast and photography have given Canon superiority in
its optical products, and a legendary reputation among pro-
fessional videographers and photographers. Every
Canon camcorder is equipped with a Genuine
Canon lens. High Definition video
lenses use an aspherical lens
to achieve low chromatic
aberration with high resolu-
tion, and they use super
spectra coating technology to
lower flare and ghosting. A
gradation ND system ensures
better exposure in bright
shooting situations.
