Both LEGRIA HF21 and HF S11 models offer a range of improvements over previous models, including an advanced Dynamic Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS) system, an enhanced Video Snapshot mode and new low-light shooting capabilities. Both products capture to high capacity Flash memory, the most reliable method for recording. Flash memory based recording is faster, lighter and consumes less power than Hard-Disk drive based camcorders. In addition, new accessories in the range offer extended shooting flexibility – expanding the camcorders’ capabilities and giving users the freedom to capture stunning HD video in any environment, even underwater with the WP-V1 waterproof case. LEGRIA HF S11: the ultimate HD camcorder for video enthusiasts
The new flagship in the range which includes the TIPA award-winning LEGRIA HF S10, the LEGRIA HF S11 HD camcorder combines pro-level features and functionality with Canon’s best ever HD camera system. The camcorder includes Dual Flash Memory recording, which lets users capture footage on the internal memory and on removable SDHC flash memory cards. At 64GB, the HF S11 features the greatest amount of internal memory available in any current camcorder, enabling users to capture over 24 hours of video (LP mode). To help users achieve the best video quality video, the LEGRIA HF S11 features Canon’s new Dynamic OIS, a feature that virtually eliminates camera-shake while filming wider shots like landscapes, large groups and panoramas. This feature allows active users to consistently achieve smooth footage, whether walking, climbing or just trying to follow the action. The LEGRIA HF S11 delivers superb quality high-definition recordings thanks to its Canon HD camera system: a genuine Canon HD Video Lens (with 10x optical zoom), an 8 Megapixel CMOS sensor and a DIGIC DV III image processor. The HD camera system delivers 1920x1080 Full HD video recordings at 24Mbps and up to 8.0MP still photos. The option to use 25p progressive capture for making movies delivers a film-like quality and further improves low-light sensitivity. Perfect for users with a passion for videography, the LEGRIA HF S11 offers a full range of shooting controls. These enable manual adjustment of focus, exposure and audio levels using the camcorder’s built in control dial. In addition, the HF S11 includes Auto Gain Control limits – allowing users to fine-tune the camcorder’s gain in low-light – so the optimum balance between the low light detail and the darkness of night can be found. Zebra patterns and Colour Peaking help to set up shots perfectly, whilst the Colour Bar/Test Tone generator will help pro-users set up their other equipment repeatably. To give users maximum flexibility when filming, the HF S11 can be easily combined with a range of optional accessories, including the RA-V1 Remote Control Adapter which lets users shoot with a Canon or some 3rd party LANC-type units. Focus, zoom and recording can then be controlled remotely, which is ideal in situations where long zoom stability is needed – nature videography, for example - or when filming from remote sites with no user access. The RA-V1 Remote Adapter works with Canon ZR-1000 and ZR-2000 LANC adapters (not supplied). Availability
