True HD in Your Pocket
The name Canon has always meant photographic and broadcast television cameras
with optical excellence, advanced image processing, superb performance, and the
latest in technological advancements. Canon's new High Definition video
camcorder is no exception.
The stylish Canon HV10 gives you the ultimate in HD video and digital photo
quality - in the world's smallest HDV camcorder. Its 10x optical zoom lens and
2.96 Megapixel CMOS image sensor ensure meticulous detail and superior color
reproduction. And, with its HD and Standard Definition recording modes, you can
make the move to HD without making your SD equipment obsolete.
The HV10 is easy to use and delivers the high level of performance you've come
to expect from Canon. It's the premium quality camcorder that sophisticated and
discerning videographers have been waiting for.
HDV1080i Canon CMOS imaging
Canon's CMOS expertise, developed for our range of professional EOS D-SLR
cameras, has been transferred to video. The HV10's 2.96MP Canon HD CMOS video
sensor allows capture of HDV1080i footage with true 1920x1080 pixel resolution,
for images of stunning clarity and sharpness. Standard DV recording is also
possible.
Super compact
Packaging professional-quality HDV1080i into an elegant upright body, the HV10
reshapes HDV, bringing the highest resolution handheld video into the home.
Instant AF and Focus Assist
The increased resolution of HD highlights focusing errors. Canon's new Instant
AF is an innovative hybrid AF system that results in extremely quick and
accurate auto focus. Focus Assist is an aid to manual focusing.
DIGIC DV II for HD
Canon's next generation DIGIC DV II processor is optimised for the increased
processing requirements of HD. Split path processing offers simultaneous video
and digital photo capture.
Canon precision lens
Inheriting 48 years of experience in broadcast lens manufacture, the quality of
Canon camcorders begins with the glass: aspherical lens elements and Super
Spectra coating eliminate visual imperfections. A new Super Range Optical Image
Stabilizer counteracts unwanted vibrations across the frequency range.
Advanced photography
The HV10 integrates advanced digital photography functions into a compact frame,
including a one-push histogram display to monitor brightness levels. Up to four
3MP photos per second can be stored on convenient Mini SD card: you can even
capture 2MP screen shots straight from a movie, either during recording or
playback.
Native widescreen
HDV is a widescreen format and the HV10 is optimised for 16:9 recording. A high
resolution 2.7" LCD and widescreen colour EVF display footage exactly as it is
recorded. A level marker on the LCD makes it easier to line up the perfect shot.
Built-in video light and flash
A built-in video light allows recording to continue in poorly lit conditions. A
dedicated flash for stills is provided.
Analogue-to-digital conversion
Analogue-to-digital conversion is possible via AV input - older home movies can
be easily archived to digital tape for safekeeping.
Full connectivity
Digital photographs can be transferred to a computer or printed out directly
using PictBridge. Via Firewire, footage can be sent to and from a computer for
editing.
