Canon Exclusive: SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization
The high-resolution images of High De
fi
nition video demand a steady
hand. It’s easier to get those clear, steady images with the VIXIA HF100,
thanks to Canon’s innovative SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization.
It combines gyro- and image-sensors to give image stabilization through
a wider range of camera motions. Some image stabilization systems
correct one type of camera motion or vibration better than another.
But Canon’s SuperRange OIS corrects for a wide range of camcorder
motion: the fast vibration you’d experience while recording from a moving
car; the medium-speed motion of hand-held recording; and the slower
motion of body sway. No matter what you’re recording and how you’re
recording it, the VIXIA HF100’s stabilization design corrects camcorder
shake instantly. SuperRange OIS also delivers steady images when shooting at long focal lengths.
In addition, optical stabilization keeps your shot steady without a loss in image quality -- something
that can’t be said for electronic image stabilization. And image stabilization isn’t just for video; you can
even use it for taking sharper, clearer digital photographs with your VIXIA HF100. Thanks to Canon’s
expertise, it’s easy to eliminate one of the telltale signs of amateur video and photography.
