Canon VIXIA HV40 High Definition Mini Camcorder Kit 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.

  • 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.
