Genuine Canon 15x HD Video Lens
For over 70 years Canon has been producing exceptional photographic lenses that are synonymous with unsurpassed optical performance. Because of Genuine Canon Optics, every Canon broadcast lens, 35mm film camera, digital camera and camcorder assures brilliant optical quality - and the VIXIA HF200 is no exception.
The VIXIA HF200 comes with an outstanding High Definition video lens - a Genuine Canon 15x HD Video Lens. It’s the lens you need to record long shots of your child on the soccer field, wide shots of beautiful landscapes, and everything in-between. And because it comes with four zoom speeds, three pre-set and one variable, you always get smooth, steady, professional-looking zoom shots.
Super Spectra Coating technology results in images with minimal flare and ghosting. Plus, the lens’ aspheric design reduces aberration and increases resolution, ensuring crisp, sharp video - enhancing the HD image quality. Additionally, a gradation neutral density (ND) system gives you better exposures in bright shooting situations.
Canon Exclusive: 3.89 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor
The VIXIA HF200 captures stunning High Definition video through its Canon designed and manufactured 3.89 Megapixel HD CMOS image sensor, similar to the CMOS image sensors in Canon’s EOS Series Digital SLR cameras.
The VIXIA HF200’s sophisticated CMOS image sensor provides high color resolution and advanced color reproduction for brilliant results. It is also unique in featuring Canon’s proprietary noise reduction technologies for crisp, sharp images. Low noise technology also means that even in dimly lit scenes, the signal from each pixel is as pure as possible, with minimal noise or other aberrations. It’s the ideal sensor for HD.
The VIXIA HF200 uses an RGB Primary Color Filter with Bayer Placement Pattern that separates light into red, green and blue color components. This results in vibrant images with deep, rich, accurate color and natural-looking tones similar to what you’d obtain from 3CCD camcorders. In addition, the Bayer Placement Pattern delivers sharp, high definition images with true-to-life color reproduction. As an added benefit, the CMOS sensor provides outstanding image capture in low light conditions.
Canon Exclusive: DIGIC DV III Image Processor
DIGIC DV III is Canon’s most advanced HD image processor ever, helping to deliver enhanced image quality, true color production for both video and photos, and a sophisticated noise reduction system for exceptional low-light performance. It is also the high-speed engine which powers a variety of Canon technologies including the 8.0 Megapixel photo capture, 6.0 Megapixel Simultaneous Photo Recording, Advanced Auto Exposure system and Genuine Canon Face Detection.
Plus, the Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor allows continuous shooting of digital photos with the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder. You can also enjoy faster processing of your images to your memory card (1.4x normal card; 2.5x Hi Speed card). In addition, it helps lower power consumption for longer battery life.
1920 x 1080 Full HD Recording
The Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder not only captures images in Full HD, but records and outputs at 1920 x 1080* as well, so you get Full HD from lens to screen. Your memories are preserved in stunning clarity, and ready for playback on your HDTV. With the advanced codec in the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder, you can also record at the highest AVCHD bitrate of 24Mbps.
24Mbps Recording
The 24Mbps recording capability of the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF20 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder gives you the highest quality AVCHD video possible. You’ll see enhanced detail, finer gradations of tones and improved reproduction of moving subjects. Video shot by the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF20 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder of fast-moving sporting events, multi-color butterflies on a variegated leaf or the shading of a brilliant sunset will be remarkable.
Canon Exclusive: SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization
The high-resolution images of High Definition video demand a steady hand. It’s easier to get those clear, steady images with the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder, 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 Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder’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 Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder. Thanks to Canon’s expertise, it’s easy to eliminate one of the telltale signs of amateur video and photography.
Canon Exclusive: Instant AF (Auto Focus)
Another critical objective when shooting in High Definition is achieving a very sharp focus. The Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder features Canon’s revolutionary Instant AF focusing system which 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 significantly decrease the time it takes to find focus, even in low light conditions. This system achieves focus instantaneously, reducing focus “hunting.” The benefits of Instant AF are especially seen in high brightness and night shooting situations. With Instant AF, it’s 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 Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder also features Focus Assist. This helps in capturing your subject in razor sharp focus. It works by providing a 2x magnification of your subject (when you start recording, this assistance is automatically cancelled). This is a feature normally found in professional broadcast-quality cameras. Another sophisticated control available on the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder is color peaking, which enhances the edges of your subject to aid in focusing.
Canon Exclusive: Genuine Canon Face Detection
The same high quality Face Detection technology used in Canon digital cameras is now available in Canon High Definition camcorders. Up to 35 faces can be detected automatically, and 9 detection frames can be displayed at one time. Genuine Canon Face Detection ensures razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure of the chosen subjects.
The system is in fact so intelligent that it will recognize faces that are turned downwards or sideways. In addition, a specific face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. This feature can be used to search for clips featuring that specific subject’s face. In search and playback, use of the Face Index will display frames with the chosen face as a thumbnail in each shot in which it appears. The selected face can be linked as a time line to further identify footage containing that subject.
Advanced Auto Exposure System
The Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder has an Advanced AE System inspired by Canon’s EOS DSLR cameras. It’s designed to provide the most accurate exposure settings in a wide variety of lighting conditions. This enhanced Auto Exposure system, together with Face Detection and DIGIC DV III captures an expanded dynamic range, optimizing brightness to avoid overexposure, while still preserving important shadow detail.
24p Cinema Mode
24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a professional “film-look.” You can change the camcorder’s frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film. In addition, you can use the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder’s CINEMA setting, which changes the color and tonal characteristics, evoking the look and feel of a movie shown in a theater. For added flexibility, these settings can be used together or independently.
30p Progressive Mode
This is a sophisticated tool for which you would otherwise have to look to professional video cameras in order to have at your command. In addition to the standard interlaced video frame rate of 60i, you may choose to set the Canon 3535B001 VIXIA HF200 Flash Memory HD Digital Camcorder to capture video in 30p (30 progressive frames, recorded to 60i), which is particularly useful for footage to be used on the Internet. In addition, this setting gives enhanced quality to still images captured after recording. It’s also excellent for action shots and sports.
