Canon's HR10 allows you to capture amazing HD detail and color reproduction on a standard 3" DVD disc in AVCHD format and combines advanced features with ease of use. **
The HR10 features a Canon manufactured HD CMOS Image Sensor. The sensor reproduces high resolution images as true HD movie, acquiring image information at 1920 x 1080 pixels. Canon's HD SMOS Sensor also features on-chip noise redution technology meaning that even in dimly-lit scenes there will be minimal noise or other aberrations.
For rich, accurate color, the HR10 uses an RGB Primary Color Filter. It separates light into red, green, and blue color components, resulting in vibrant images with natural-looking tones similar to what you'd obtain from 3CCD camcorders.
The HR10 also features genuine Canon optics with a 10x zoom. An aspherical lens is used to help achieve low aberration and high resolution. The HR10's lens also features super spectra coating technology which lowers flare and ghosting. A gradation ND system is used for better exposure in bright shooting situations.
The SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) utilizes a hybrid detection method to correct camera shake instantly for steady shots.
24p Ceinema Mode enables all aspiring movie makers to achieve a professional "film-look". This mode includes two different features which can be used independently or together. The frame rate can be changed to 24p and/or the color and tonal characteristics can be changed to make it feel like you are watching the movie in a theatre.
The HR10's processor is the DIGIC DVII designed specifically for HD. The processor's digital processing ensures optimal image quality for both HD video and still images. It produces video with improved color reproduction, especially in skin tones, and dark and light scenes.
** NOTE - The Canon HR10 can capture both standard definition and high definition footage. High definition footage in the AVCHD format can be finalized in camera or copied onto DVD media with included software. However, DVD media containing AVCHD footage should only be used in AVCHD compatible players otherwise the DVD player may fail to eject the media and may erase its contents without warning.
