Canon VIXIA HF G40 Full HD Camcorder

The VIXIA G40 is compact, capable and easy to use. Canon’s VIXIA HF G40 camcorder provides sharp, Full HD video in virtually every lighting situation thanks to its Genuine Canon 20x High Definition Optical Zoom lens and highly sensitive HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor with improved low-light performance.

A DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor speeds up operation and enables the lens’s image stabilization for clear images, even when shooting handheld. A 3.5-inch touch-capacitive screen and a tiltable electronic viewfinder allow fluid use in numerous situations. A host of manual controls are complemented by Wide DR Gamma and Highlight Priority for natural color and detail. Creative options include a new interval recording option to capture fast motion of up to 1200x the original speed.

The VIXIA HF G40 camcorder features a Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Lens offering a 35mm equivalent of 26.8–576mm with a minimum object distance of just 23.6 inches (60cm). Incorporating advanced elements and coatings, it helps reduce flare, ghosting and other distracting effects, delivering sharp, clear images with minimal distortion.

The VIXIA HF G40 features an 8-blade Circular Aperture, which helps reduce the “starburst” effect found in camcorders with non-circular apertures. The result is that points of light in out-of-focus areas, usually the background of your shot, are beautifully circularly blurred, creating an authentic and artistic feel. The professional touch of a manual focus ring allows accurate and precise control. For extra flexibility, the manual focus ring can be easily set to control zoom instead.
