Stunning Digital Photography
The VIXIA HF100 has many advanced photo features which make it a camera that rivals other state-
of-the-art digital cameras. You get the best of both video and photos.
3.1 Megapixel Photos
The same Canon exclusive CMOS image sensor that ensures sharp,
vivid HD video also gives you brilliant digital photographs. Like the CMOS
image sensors in Canon’s EOS Series digital SLR cameras, the VIXIA
HF100’s image sensor results in outstanding digital photographs. It gives
an impressive resolution of 3.1 Megapixel for sharp, crisp still images.
Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor
Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV II Image Processor features improved
continuous shooting of digital photographs with the VIXIA HF100. You can
shoot 5 (3.1 Megapixel) still images per second, and enjoy faster processing
of your images to your memory card (1.4x normal card; 2.5x Hi Speed
card).
Focus Features
Auto Intelligent Auto Focus (AiAF) ensures sharp images and gives creative
fl
exibility. Even when
your subject isn’t in the center of the frame, the VIXIA HF100’s 9 Point AiAF will automatically select
from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp focus.
ince it is critical to achieve very sharp focus when shooting in High
De
fi
nition, the VIXIA HF100 camcorder features Canon’s revolutionary and
exclusive Instant AF focusing system. It offers a dramatic improvement
in auto focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional auto focus
systems). The Instant AF feature uses an external sensor, in combination
with Canon’s auto focus system, to help signi
fi
cantly decrease the time it takes to
fi
nd focus, even in
low light conditions. This new system achieves focus instantaneously, reducing focus “hunting.” The
bene
fi
ts of Instant AF are especially seen in high brightness, and night shooting situations. It’s even
possible to capture fast, accurate focusing, even when following a moving subject.
And because a properly focused subject is more critical than ever with HD, the VIXIA HF100 also
features Focus Assist. This helps in capturing your subject in razor sharp focus. (When you start
recording, this assistance is automatically cancelled.)
