Product description

Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Lens
• The VIXIA HF G30 has a Canon 20x HD video lens that features a 35mm equivalent focal length of 26.8–576mm with a minimum object distance of just 23.6". The lens uses aspherical lens technology to achieve low chromatic aberration and high resolution, while maintaining a compact form factor. Super spectra coating technology lowers flare and ghosting as well.

8-Blade Circular Aperture & Hybrid Focusing System
• The Canon 20x HD lens also features an eight-blade circular aperture that reduces the "starburst" effect found in camcorders with non-circular apertures. The result is a more appealing circularly blurred background in the out-of-focus areas. This feature is bolstered by a manual focus ring which allows for more accurate control. For extra flexibility, the manual focus ring can be set to control zoom instead. Besides manual focusing, the camera supports a Hybrid AF with Instant AF or Medium AF, Normal AF, Face Priority AF, and Face-Only AF.

AVCHD & MP4 Recording Formats
• The VIXIA HF G30 supports MP4 recording at up to 35 Mb/s and AVCHD recording at up to 35 Mb/s. Both formats support Full HD 1080p60 resolution. Plus, images captured at 60 frames per second means that diagonal noise is mostly eliminated—even when shooting fast moving subjects. The camera also supports enhanced color and tonal gradation.

Native 24p Progressive Mode
• The VIXIA HF G30 features a native 24p progressive mode that allows 24 frames per second to be captured and recorded (instead of the standard 60i). This provides for a more cinematic look.

Slow & Fast-Motion Recording
• The VIXIA HF G30 allows you to add a fast or slow motion effect to your captured video by letting you record in a different frame rate than the one you use for playback. You can speed up your video 250%, or slow it down to 40%, without any loss in image quality.

Built-In Dual-Band Wi-Fi
• Built-in 5/2.4 GHz dual-band Wi-Fi technology lets you share your HD video through compatible networks, wireless hotspots, and iOS mobile devices using the free Canon Movie Uploader app. Transfer files to selected FTP servers for backup or when a quick transfer is necessary. Share videos over the internet with Canon's free iMAGE GATEWAY online photo storage service as well. You can even watch videos stored on the camera's memory cards directly on your living room TV, or use your PC or mobile device to browse remotely through the previously recorded videos stored on your camcorder, without connecting a cable. The Remote Browse function uses a standard web browser and does not require a special app.

Remote Operation through Wi-Fi
• Wi-Fi technology also allows for remote control of key camcorder controls, such as recording start/stop and zoom, exposure functions, and focus settings, from a web browser.

Canon HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor
• The VIXIA HF G30 is equipped with a 2.91MP Full HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor. It provides pixels that are significantly larger and more sensitive than the ones found in most consumer camcorders. This facilitates more light capture, enabling you to capture high-quality video with wide dynamic range, even in dimly lit conditions.

DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor
• The VIXIA HF G30 incorporates Canon's high-definition DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor, which helps enable better low-light shooting with brighter, noise-free images even in dark scenes. Plus, dramatically increased processing power lets you record in both easy-to-share MP4 and AVCHD formats simultaneously.

OLED 3.5" Capacitive Touch Display
• The touch-sensitive OLED panel on the VIXIA HF G30 supports capacitive touch responsiveness and clear image playback thanks to 1,230,000 dots of resolution. Touch operation also affords more fluid control of camera functions like Touch and Track, Touch Focus, and Touch Exposure.

Tilt Electronic 0.24" Color LCD Viewfinder
• The VIXIA HF G30 features a 0.24" color LCD electronic viewfinder with approximately 100% field of view coverage and 1,560,000 dots of resolution. It can be tilted up to 45° from its normal resting position as well, enabling more shooting freedom. Settings can even be adjusted with a handy joystick so you don't have to stop looking through the viewfinder. And, because it is positioned where your thumb naturally rests while holding the camera, you can shoot and adjust easily, even with one hand.

Dual SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card Slots with Relay Recording
• The VIXIA HF G30 allows you to record video directly to widely available SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards with capacities ranging from 32GB all the way up to 2TB. They are available in ultra-fast reading and writing speeds that make it easy to share video. Plus, dual slots on the VIXIA HF G30 enable relay recording. The camcorder automatically switches to the second memory card when the first one becomes full, so there's no need to worry about running out of recording time.

Simultaneously Record in AVCHD & MP4 Formats
• Using the power of the DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor, the VIXIA HF G30 camcorder can simultaneously record video in AVCHD format on one SD card, and MP4 format on the other SD card. The widely used MP4 format provides quick, conversion-free playback on tablets and smartphones, and lets you upload videos directly to social networking sites for easy sharing. AVCHD is perfect for watching videos on an HDTV, or archiving them to Blu-ray discs. The camcorder also has a built-in transcoding function that converts AVCHD files to MP4, or from MP4 to MP4 across memory media, making them easy to upload to the web or save to an SD card.

SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer with Dynamic Image Stabilization
• Canon's SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake instantly. The power of the DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor also supports an improved Dynamic Image Stabilization mode. In addition to providing continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion, with extra compensation applied at wide-angle focal lengths, the system also stabilizes rotational camera shake to ensure smoother, distortion-free video—even while walking and shooting.

High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery
• The VIXIA HF G30 is powered by a higher capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that lets you shoot longer. It also features intelligent technology that accurately indicates remaining battery time down to the minute.

Linear PCM Audio Recording
• The VIXIA HF G30 supports pro-quality, 16-bit LPCM audio recording for enhanced sound fidelity. This format is also fully compatible with both video and audio editing software. LPCM is supported only in 28 and 24 Mb/s recording modes.

Versatile Mini Advanced Accessory Shoe
• The integrated Mini Advanced Accessory Shoe allows you to attach optional Canon accessories, such as the VL-5 Video Light, VFL-2 Video Flash Light, DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone, or SM-V1 5.1-Channel Surround Microphone. However, on the VFL-2, only the video light function is supported.

Video Snapshot
• Video Snapshot allows you to record a series of short video clips—or select your favorite clips while in Playback mode—and then blend in your favorite background music to create a movie with music. This feature also allows selectable recording time of 2, 4, or 8 seconds. Plus, 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.

Cinema-Look Filters
• The camera has nine distinct built-in Cinema-Look filters. These adjustable filters give your footage the look of a variety of cinematic styles by compensating for the color, gamma, and other aspects of the image quality. The looks can even be previewed in the LCD display while shooting. The nine filter options include: Cinema Standard, Cool, Dramatic Black and White (B&W), Dream, Memory, Nostalgic, Old Movies, Sepia, and Vivid
