Description

The Canon VIXIA HV40 is easy to use and delivers the high level of performance you've come to expect from Canon. the vast experience with photographic and broadcast television cameras brings you the optical excellence, advanced image processing, superb performance and the latest in technological advancements you expect. The VIXIA HV40 is the premium quality High Definition video tape camcorder for sophisticated and discerning videographers.

The 2.96 Full HD CMOS image sensor and advanced DIGIC DV II image processor delivers breathtaking detail and the best in color reproduction, to SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization and Instant Auto Focus to give you the ultimate control demanded by High Definition.

With the Genuine Canon 10x HD video zoom lens and a host of other advanced features the VIXIA HV40 is sure to be your choice in High Definition camcorders. If you wish to continue to use your existing Standard Definition equipment, the VIXIA HV40 has both SD and HD recording modes.

Features

The VIXIA HV40 captures true 1080 High Definition resolution video in 16:9 format, using MiniDV cassette tapes. The VIXIA HV40's true 16:9 widescreen HD image is made for your HD widescreen TV.
The VIXIA HV40 10x HD Genuine Canon Optical zoom lens records long shots of your child on the soccer field, wide shots of beautiful landscapes and everything in-between. It comes with three pre-set zoom speeds which gives smooth, steady, professional-looking zoom shots.
The VIXIA HV40 features a Canon designed and manufactured CMOS image sensor which result in outstanding digital photographs. The CMOS sensor reproduces high-resolution images at 1920 x 1080 resolution with Full HD information in video images.
DIGIC DV II image processing produces video with improved color reproduction - especially in skin tones and dark and light scenes. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction - for high definition images that are crystal clear.
SuperRange OIS combines gyro and image sensors to give image stabilization through a wider range of camera motions.
The VIXIA HV40 camcorder features Canon's revolutionary Instant AF focusing system. It offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional autofocus systems).
The Instant AF feature uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon's autofocus 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."
Native 24p Mode allows 24 frames per second, instead of the standard 60i, to be captured and recorded. It is a must for serious filmmaking work, as 24 frames per second is the frame rate of film.
The 2.7" Multi-Angle Vivid Widescreen LCD on the VIXIA HV40 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. Using a hard coat AR surface and improved color reproduction, the scene in the viewfinder is more accurate to what you're capturing in the camcorder.
The VIXIA HV40 Advanced Accessory Shoe Terminal on the camcorder attaches Canon VFL-1 video light or a Canon DM-50 Directional Stereo Microphone without additional wires or batteries. It's a sure way to help raise the production values of all your videos.
The Built-in Electronic Lens Cover means you never have to go looking for your lens cover again. Turn your camcorder on and the lens cover automatically opens. Turn it off and the cover closes.
Playback of 60i/30p/24p Video.
USB 2.0 Full Speed Terminal for fast transfer of photos.
Analog-Digital Converter lets you share the precious video memories you have stored on analog videotapes. Simply feed the analog signal from your TV, VCR or analog camcorder to your VIXIA HV40 to convert the signal to digital for recording on DV tape.
Wireless Remote Control lets you operate your VIXIA HV40 from a distance, so you won't be left out of the picture.
