Steady Shooting Through a Mega Zoom Range
-----------------------------------------
Genuine Canon HD Video Lens with 53x Advanced Zoom
--------------------------------------------------
You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the
VIXIA HF R400 camcorder. The camcorder's wide-angle area has been
expanded to 38.5mm (35mm equivalent), making it easier than ever
before to catch all the action in the frame. Like every Canon
camcorder, the VIXIA HF R400 is equipped with a Genuine Canon HD
Video Lens. Canon's high definition video lenses use aspherical
lens technology to achieve low chromatic aberration with high
resolution while maintaining compact dimensions. Super spectra
coating technology lowers flare and ghosting. The big news about
the VIXIA HF R400 is the camcorder's impressive 53x Advanced
Zoom. Long-range shooting allows you to create videos with
dynamic variety, and is less likely to disrupt the action you're
shooting. It's perfect for formal ceremonies, animals in the
wild, candid family videos and more. Advanced Zoom, available in
manual mode, has been achieved with more efficient use of the
effective imaging area. It takes the camcorder's telephoto power
all the way to 1,723mm (35mm equivalent) for extraordinary
flexibility in shooting. For more convenient shooting and better
creative control over your videos, the camcorder offers
continually variable Zoom Speed settings, with 15 levels
available.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization with Improved Dynamic
Image Stabilization
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Canon's sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
corrects camera shake instantly, so even handheld video taken at
long focal lengths is sharp and steady. Now for the VIXIA HF
R400, the power of Canon's new DIGIC DV 4 Image Processer has
made possible a significantly improved new 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 now stabilizes rotational camera shake.
Controlling rotational camera shake horizontal, vertical and
roll axis ensures smooth, distortion-free video, even when
you're walking while shooting.
Exceptionally Lifelike Image Quality
------------------------------------
3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor
----------------------------------------
The VIXIA HF R400 camcorder is equipped with a 3.28 Megapixel
Full HD CMOS Image Sensor for true 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Canon's advanced, high-resolution HD CMOS Image Sensor features
extra sensitivity that delivers beautifully lifelike Full HD
Video with natural color, even in low light. Original on-chip
noise reduction brings bright clarity to every frame. Video is
rich, clear and amazingly detailed anywhere you view it, even
when played back on a large HDTV.
DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor
--------------------------
The VIXIA HF R400 incorporates the latest and most advanced Canon
HD Image Processor, the DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor, which is a
significant upgrade on several fronts. The DIGIC DV 4 Image
Processor captures more light, for brighter, noise-free images
even in dark scenes. Dramatically increased processing power lets
you record in both AVCHD and easy-to-share MP4 formats
simultaneously. Improved image stabilization means you'll capture
smooth, blur-free video even if you're shooting while walking.
Share Your Videos Quickly & Easily

card, an SDXC card can hold up to 2048 GB, and provides
ultra-fast data transfer.

Capture Moving Subjects Crisp and Clear
---------------------------------------
MP4 (35 Mbps) or AVCHD Progressive (28 Mbps)
------------------------------------------------------
The VIXIA HF R400 gives you the highest quality ,
whether you're capturing AVCHD or MP4 files. 1080/60p
captures twice the a of information as 60i, and with images
captured at a rate of 60 frames per second, diagonal noise is
eliminated so even fast moving subjects show up crisply with
motion and patterns clearly recorded. This greater sense of
detail and faithful rendering of moving edges, plus enhanced
color and fine tonal gradation, gives your video everything Full
HD high image quality has to offer. 1080/60p means that
the still images you extract are extremely high quality as well.
A new bit rate of 28 Mbps is the highest in the AVCHD standard,
and MP4 files are captured at a bit rate of 35 Mbps, so
regardless of the format you're shooting or viewing, image
quality is as high as can be.
Intuitive Control with Capacitive Touch
---------------------------------------
3.0-inch Capacitive Touch Panel LCD
-----------------------------------
The VIXIA HF R400 features a new 3.0-inch Capacitive Touch Panel
LCD screen, making shooting and other operations easier than
ever. Simply open the panel and the power is on. The improved
display is clear and vivid, and just as with your or
, a gentle touch activates intuitive functions. Choose a
focal point, track moving subjects, control exposure for selected
areas, and operate camcorder controls from the screen, all with a
simple touch. In addition, the user interface has been updated to
make your shooting experience easier and more fun. The Home
button is now on the menu screen, and provides quick access to
all functions. Clear explanations for key settings pop up when
selecting shooting modes and formats, so you can be
confident in the decisions you make.
The Easiest Way to Capture, Track and Share Your Baby's
Development
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Baby Mode
---------
The VIXIA HF R400 features the new Baby Mode a complete
solution for capturing, tracking, organizing and sharing every
precious moment of your baby's development. A custom control
button on the shooting screen activates the mode, and optimal
settings for the shooting conditions, including Intelligent IS
and more, are automatically selected. Simply pick up the camera
and start , knowing capture will be of the highest
quality. Videos in Baby Mode are automatically saved into a
dedicated Baby Album so they'll never get lost among your other
videos. You can then view the Baby Album chronologically for a
seamless way to relive and share your baby's growth with friends
and relatives.
When you're shooting in Baby Mode, the camcorder's Pre-Record
(Pre REC) function is always on. This places the camcorder in a
stand-by "pre-roll" mode, where it continuously records three
seconds of video to memory before you even press the record
button. When you start , the additional video is
recorded too, so it's easier than ever to capture the baby's
"firsts" and every special moment.
Touch Decoration in Baby Mode includes stamps to mark each video
with your baby's current height and weight. And with a single
registration of the baby's birth date, the camcorder will
automatically calculate the number of days old and stamp videos
accordingly, creating an exact diary of developmental milestones
for years to come. The camcorder's other Touch Decoration
options, including your own drawings, captions, animations and
more, are fully available in Baby Mode, and all can easily be
appended to previously video as well.
More Shooting Time with Every Charge
------------------------------------
Higher Capacity Battery
-----------------------
The VIXIA HF R400 is powered by a new, higher capacity battery
pack. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery not only lets you
shoot longer, but features intelligent technology that accurately
indicates remaining battery time down to the minute, for extra
insurance that you'll never miss an important shooting
rtunity.
Intelligently Helping You Shoot Steady
--------------------------------------
Intelligent IS
--------------
Intelligent IS makes it easy to shoot clear, sharply focused
video, even in situations that typically cause camera shake. The
Intelligent IS system analyzes the shooting situation for you,
then automatically switches to the image stabilization method
best able to produce sharp, steady video. Four IS systems cover
the gamut of shooting situations. Dynamic IS corrects minor
movement and the shaking caused by walking while shooting. Macro
IS delivers perfectly steady close-up s. Powered IS comes
into play when you're using the camcorder's powerful zoom,
correcting shake that can occur in telephoto s. Tripod Mode
stops IS when the camcorder is stationary.
Superb Audio in Any Situation
-----------------------------
Increased Clarity, Adjustability
--------------------------------
The VIXIA HF R400 camcorder's audio is an excellent match for its
pristine image quality. The microphone has updated elements that
increase clarity at medium and low frequencies, so even faint
sounds are recorded clearly. Three microphone positions let you
adjust to suit the position of the zoom or your
subjects: front for monaural ; regular for normal stereo
effect; and rear for a wider, more enhanced stereo effect.
Frequency response characteristics can be adjusted for the scene
with several options. You can balance all frequencies for normal
, emphasize low frequencies for impactful live music
, attenuate low frequencies to reduce ambient noise,
emphasize mid frequencies to focus on voices, or emphasize low
and high frequencies to record live music with balanced lows and
highs.
Normal
Records with a balance throughout all frequencies.
Emphasize Low Frequencies
Record scenes of live music or the like with impact.
Attenuate Low Frequencies
Reduce ambient noise and sound of traffic outdoors (wind, cars,
etc.)
Emphasize Mid Frequencies
Record focusing on people's voices
Emphasize Low and High Frequencies

Audio Scene Select
------------------
Audio Scene Select offers five modes that automatically optimize
settings based on the situation, making it easy to
record realistic, immersive audio in a range of situations.
Automatically Beautiful Video
-----------------------------
Smart AUTO and Auto Tele Macro
------------------------------
Smart AUTO lets you capture clear, bright, well-focused video
while the camcorder takes care of all the details. The system
recognizes 38 shooting situations based on numerous factors, then
automatically chooses the optimal settings for the situation.
When you shoot a nearby subject in telephoto zoom mode, Auto Tele
Macro gives your video the high-end artistic effect of a
well-focused subject against a beautifully blurred background.
Additional Features
-------------------
Cinema-Look Filters
-------------------
Other cinematic looks can be had through the use of Cinema-Look
Filters. This feature offers a choice of seven varied built-in
adjustable filters, which give the look of a variety of cinematic
styles by compensating for the color, gamma and other aspects of
the image's quality. The looks can be previewed in the LCD
display while shooting, and also applied post-capture for
additional convenience and versatility. Choose from:
Cinema Standard Recreates the warm tones and muted highlights of
classic film Cool Adds a bluish tint for cool, futuristic-looking
scenes Dramatic B&W Creates bold black-and-white video with high
contrast and grain Nostalgic Recreates the look of old ‘70s TV
programs Old Movies Gives video the aged look of old cinema Sepia
Applies a sepia tint for an antique, faded look Vivid Accentuates
primary colors for a bright, cheerful look The brightness of each
filter can be adjusted low, medium or high, for even greater
control. When Cinema Standard is selected, color depth,
softening, and contrast can also be adjusted.

start shooting immediately whenever the action starts. Just open
the LCD screen and the power is on. Shut down is just as easy:
simply close the screen.
Ultra Clear Viewing
-------------------
The display quality of the camcorder's LCD screen has been
significantly boosted with new technology. Vivid Clear View is
just that: a sharp, bright, beautifully detailed display that
helps you create your best videos.
Video Snap
--------------
Video Snap allows you to capture the highlights of a
once-in-a-lifetime trip or a family milestone with the same ease
as taking photos. Simply record a series of short video clips
or select your favorite clips while in Playback Mode and blend
in your favorite background music to create an exciting movie
that will grab everyone's attention. Video Snap on the VIXIA
HF R400 allows selectable time (2, 4, or 8 seconds).
Additionally, audio from an external source such as an MP3 player
can be played along with the Snap movie, and playback can be
controlled from that source.
