Life’s about sharing
Upload movies to your smart device and social media with built-in Wi-Fi. The camcorder also supports NFC, so you can hook-up and share footage directly with smart devices with just a simple touch. NFC also enables effortless connection with Canon Connect Station, allowing content to be stored and then watched at leisure with family and friends on your TV.

Sharp results on every occasion
Canon’s optical Intelligent IS means there’s no need to worry about camera shake. It adapts to the scene you’re shooting, automatically selecting the optimum image stabilisation mode for you. Even when you’re on the move, the 5-axis Dynamic IS ensures steady footage.

Every memory in magnificent detail
Enjoy making stunning movies with Canon’s HD video lens. It features a versatile 57x Advanced zoom, letting you capture the detail in even faraway subjects. Image quality is superb – even when shooting in low light – thanks to the 3.28 MP Full HD CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV4 processor. Prevent your memories from being deleted inadvertently with the handy File Lock feature.

Fun for the whole family
Experiment with slow and fast motion recording. Slow motion cuts speed by 1/2x – great for correcting golf swings – while fast motion speeds everything up, by up to 1200x. It works by recording at pre-determined intervals so you can use it to create fascinating time lapse sequences. Try adding fun effects to movies using Touch Decoration, or create atmosphere with Cinema-Look Filters.

Don’t lose track
What happens if you lose track of whom you’re filming at a distance? Simply press and hold the search button and Framing Assist pans back out to quickly relocate your subjects. Release search and the camcorder zooms back in again to continue filming.

Capture many firsts
Capture the first steps and words of up to three children with advanced Baby Mode. Register each child’s date of birth in-camera, and add colourful stamps and animations to record height and weight. All footage is automatically saved to the relevant baby album.

Great sounding movies
Make movies sound as good as they look with Audio Scene Select. Simply select from 5 different modes to suit the scene you’re shooting.

Flexible recording
Movies can be recorded in different formats (AVCHD + MP4) to the internal memory and an SD card simultaneously. This means you can capture high quality footage for personal use while sharing a slightly lower resolution, quicker to transfer version, with smart devices and social media sites.
