AUTOMATIC ATTENUATOR
Automatic Attenuator ensures optimal audio quality
when recording in locations where the sound level quickly
changes. The camcorder automatically uses the attenuator
as needed, preventing high volume distortion (i.e., loud
music) and responsively adjusting to capture audio at clean
and balanced levels.
* Optional SM-V1 5.1-Channel Surround Microphone required.
5.1-CHANNEL SURROUND SOUND
For the ultimate home theater experience, 5.1-Channel
Surround Sound allows you to capture audio quality that
matches the stunning realism of your high definition video.
With the optional SM-V1 5.1-Channel Surround Microphone,
sound is captured from all directions (five different pickup
sensors), so your home videos will look and sound more
lifelike than ever before.

DYNAMIC IS
Canon’s newest form of electronic image
stabilization, Dynamic IS delivers improved
shake correction. It provides continuous adjustment through-
out the entire zoom range to correct a broader range of motion.
Extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to
eliminate unwanted vibration common when walking.

HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA
INTERFACE TERMINAL (HDMI)
HDMI uses a single cable to transport a high-definition video
signal with audio to your HDTV. The latest version of HDMI
supports x.v.Color, which makes it possible to display rich-
er, more accurate color. Select VIXIA camcorders enable you
to convert captured 1080i (interlaced) to 1080p (progressive)
video for output via the camcorder’s HDMI terminal.* 1080p
output offers smoother, more natural reproduction of moving
objects such as fast-action sports.

TELE MACRO
With Tele Macro, the camcorder automatically
zooms the lens to full telephoto and changes the closest
focusing to 1.3 feet — the ideal setting for ultra-close-up
shooting. Conventional camcorders set the minimum focusing
distance to approximately three feet at the telephoto end of
the zoom range, making it difficult to use the lens’s full magni-
fication power. You can use Tele Macro to capture spectacular
close-ups with shallow depth-of-field.
