Quick Reference Guide to the Canon HG-10

UB Media Lab

MENU & CONTROLS 
IN CAMERA MODE

Below the LCD screen there are five buttons. 
The four buttons next to 

FUNC

. have two levels 

of labeling – the top 

REW, FFWD, PLAY/

PAUSE & STOP

 are only active in 

PLAY

 

mode. 

W & T

 – these buttons are another way to zoom 

the camera in and out. This is not a variable 
control zoom so it always zooms in and out at 
the same speed. (See notes on the Zoom Toggle 
button.)

START/STOP

 – this is another way to start 

and stop recording.

BLC

 – This button activates an automatic back 

light adjustment setting. It may or may not be a 
useful way to additionally control the exposure. 
It is for the situation when you are shooting a 
subject with an unusually bright backlight. (It is 
not recommended over adjusting the exposure 
manually.)

FUNC.

 – this button brings up an onscreen 

menu.

P

: Program AE – This sub-menu allows you 

to switch between video capturing modes. 
Each mode has different options. (See the 
manual for more details.) 

We recommend 

using “P” mode.
