The Canon VIXIA HF S100 comes with the Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens that can record long shots, wide shots of beautiful landscapes and everything. It also features the Super Spectra Coating technology that helps in minimizing the flare and ghosting. The aspheric lens design also reduces aberration and increases resolution, ensuring crisp, sharp video and improving the HD image quality. The gradation neutral density (ND) gives better exposures in bright shooting situations.
It also boasts the built-in 1.7x Digital Tele-converter that provides an extended telephoto range while preserving the image quality. It has the ability to capture 1920 x 1080 High Definition video with its 1/2.6-inch, 8.59 megapixel HD CMOS image sensor. The powerful CMOS image sensor provides high color resolution and advanced color reproduction for brilliant results. It is equipped with the Canon’s proprietary noise reduction technologies for crisp, sharp images. The 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.
The VIXIA HF S100 utilizes an RGB Primary Color Filter with Bayer Replacement Pattern that separates light into red, green and blue color components. It results in vibrant images with deep, rich, accurate color and natural-looking tones similar with what you get from the 3CCD camcorders. The Bayer Placement Pattern delivers sharp, high definition images with true to life color reproduction. The CMOS sensor provides outstanding image capture in low light conditions.
It is also powered with the DIGIC DV III which is the Canon’s most advanced HD image processor that helps in delivering enhanced image quality, true color production for both video and images and a sophisticated noise reduction system for exceptional low light performance. It is also the high speed engine that powers numerous Canon technologies including the 8.0 Megapixel photo capture, 6.0 Megapixel Simultaneous Photo Recording, a new Advanced Auto Exposure system and Genuine Face Detection.
The Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor allows continuous shooting of digital images. It also helps lower power consumption for a longer battery life. The camcorder can capture images in Full HD and also records and outputs at 1920 x 1080 so you can be able to get Full HD from lens to screen. It also features the 24 Mbps recording that can give you the highest quality AVCHD video possible. You can obtain an enhanced detail, finger gradations of tones and improved reproduction of moving subjects.
It has the Canon’s innovative SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization which combines gyro and image sensors to give image stabilization through a wider range of camera motions. The Canon’s SuperRange OIS corrects for a wide range of camcorder motion: the fast vibration, medium speed motion, and the slower motion. It also delivers steady images when shooting at long focal lengths. It also keeps your shot steady with a loss in image quality.
The Canon’s revolutionary Instant Auto Focusing (AF) system offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy. It also uses an external sensor, in combination with the Canon’s auto focus system to help significantly lowers the time it takes to find focus even in low light conditions. This system achieves focus immediately, reducing focus hunting. The Focus Assist help in capturing your subject in razor sharp focus. It works by providing a 2x magnification of your subject.
