Flash memory
The VIXIA HF S30 can record the most crisp, high definition video possible with an internal flash drive. It is also equipped with two SDXC-compatible memory card slots, but it gets even better. With relay recording, the camcorder automatically switches video recording from the internal drive to the SD memory card, when the memory becomes full. It will be easier than ever to capture that late game play or the exact moment those first steps are taken.
Stunning image quality
A genuine Canon 10x HD video lens delivers unsurpassed image quality and a smooth background for professional looking results. The Canon exclusive 1/2.6" 8.59-megapixel Full HD CMOS image sensor captures video at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 8.0-megapixel photos with astonishing detail, while Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV III Image Processor provides the ultimate in color and imaging performance, with enhanced reproduction of difficult to capture purple and blue tones. Even when shooting in extended telephoto range, the VIXIA HF S30's built-in 1.7x digital tele-converter retains excellent image quality. The VIXIA HF S30 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.
Dynamic SuperRange optical image stabilization with powered IS
VIXIA HF S30 features Canon's proprietary dynamic SuperRange optical image stabilization which provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion. Extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted shaking common when walking while shooting. Together with powered IS, you'll find an even higher level of compensation for subtle hand movement at the telephoto end of the zoom range. And it's easy to engage powered IS. Simply press or hold the powered IS button on the touch panel LCD.
Instant AF
Another critical objective when shooting in high definition is achieving a very sharp focus. The VIXIA HF S30 camcorder features Canon's revolutionary instant AF focusing system which offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy. 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.
3.5" high resolution touch panel LCD screen
The VIXIA HF S30 features a 3.5" high resolution touch panel LCD screen which provides a large, expansive area for fast and easy menu navigation right at your fingertips. Boasting a resolution of 922,000 dots, the screen delivers exceptional detail and brilliant color for more accurate and enjoyable viewing. You also have touch and track, which allows you to get precise focus and exposure on any subject - whether it's people, vehicles, or another, by selecting your choice right on the touch panel LCD.
Smart auto
Smart auto makes shooting great video easier than ever before. Using the power of Canon's DIGIC DV III Image Processor, the VIXIA HF S30 intelligently detects and analyzes faces, brightness, color, distance and movement, then automatically selects the best settings for the scene. Whether you are capturing a sunset, a day at the beach, or a fast-paced soccer game, smart auto delivers exceptionally accurate results.
Touch and track
Touch and track delivers precise tracking of the focus and exposure on any subject - whether it's people, pets, or vehicles. Simply select your point of interest on the touch panel LCD, and you will have your subject in sharp focus, regardless of where in the frame it moves during the shot - and, the exposure will be perfectly adjusted for subject and conditions. Touch and track is the default setting. You can also choose to adjust focus or exposure independently by turning off touch and track, and turning on touch focus or touch exposure.
Genuine Canon face detection
Up to 35 faces can be tracked automatically, ensuring razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure. Of the faces tracked, 9 detection frames can be displayed at one time. The system is in fact so smart that it will recognize faces 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 timeline to further identify footage containing that subject.
Advanced video snapshot
Advanced video snapshot allows you to capture the highlights of an once-in-a-lifetime trip or a family milestone with the same ease as taking photos. Simply record a series of short video clips - or select your favorite clips while in playback mode - and blend in your favorite background music to create an exciting movie that will grab everyone's attention. Additionally, audio from an external source such as an MP3 player can be played along with the snapshot movie, and playback can be controlled from that source.
Easy web sharing
HD-to-SD down-conversion allows you to convert recorded high definition video to standard definition files while safely preserving the original HD video. These standard definition files make it even more convenient to edit or share video online. The video can be transferred to your computer via traditional methods - such as USB connection, card slot - or wirelessly to sharing sites with an Eye-Fi SD memory card.
8.0-megapixel camera
Since Canon is acknowledged as a world leading maker of digital cameras, it's not surprising that the VIXIA HF S30, in addition to being a brilliant camcorder, is also a superb 8.0-megapixel digital camera. Once again, Canon delivers features and technology that advance convenience and capability. The VIXIA HF S30's dual shot makes it easier than ever to capture both video and photos. You'll even be able to shoot 6.0-megapixel photos while shooting video at the same time with simultaneous photo recording.
Native 24p mode/24p cinema mode/30p frame mode
Native 24p mode allows 24 frames per second - exactly the same capture rate as film - to be captured and recorded. This is a big advantage for serious filmmaking work, enabling you to achieve the ultimate cinematic experience. 24p cinema mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a professional "film-look. " You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p, which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film. In addition, you can use the VIXIA HF S30'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.
