Canon Exclusive: Instant AF (Auto Focus)
Since it is critical to achieve very sharp focus when shooting in High
De
fi
nition, the VIXIA HV30 camcorder features Canon’s revolutionary
Instant AF focusing system. It offers a dramatic improvement in auto
focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional autofocus systems).
The Instant AF feature uses an external sensor, in combination with
Canon’s autofocus system, to help signi
fi
cantly decrease the time it takes to
fi
nd focus, even in low
light conditions. This system achieves focus instantaneously, reducing focus “hunting.” The bene
fi
ts
of Instant AF are especially seen in high brightness and night shooting situations. With Instant AF, it’s
possible to get fast, accurate focusing, even when following a moving subject.
