Highlights of the LEGRIA HF G30

The Canon LEGRIA HF G30 HD Camcorder is a high-performance camcorder whose compact size

makes it ideal in a variety of situations. The following are just some of the many functions featured in

the camcorder.

HD Recording

HD CMOS PRO sensor and DIGIC DV 4

processor

The camcorder is equipped with a

1/2.84-type CMOS sensor that captures video

at an effective pixel count of approximately

2.91 megapixels (2136x1362). The video is

then processed by the state-of-the-art DIGIC

DV 4 image processor. This allows the

camcorder to excel in low-light situations and

achieve improved image stabilization.

Wide zoom lens

With a focal length at full wide angle of

26.8 mm* (35 mm equivalent), the camcorder

has superb wide-angle shooting capability. The

newly developed lens is also capable of 20x

optical zoom.

* 28.8 mm when using Dynamic IS.

Shoot cinematic video

Using CINEMA mode and the cinema-look

filters (A 49), you can make recordings that

truly look and feel cinematic.

Operability

Emphasis on versatility

This camcorder has features to make it usable

as a main camera but is also small enough to

be very portable. The advanced image

stabilization (A 60) will let you shoot in a

variety of situations in the field.

Manual controls at your fingertips

The focus/zoom ring helps you achieve the

focus you are looking for. You can also easily

change the ring's functionality so that you can

operate the zoom. Furthermore, you can

assign certain frequently used functions to a

customizable button and adjust those

functions with the accompanying dial (A 91).

If those were not enough, the camcorder also

features 5 assignable buttons to which you

can assign a variety of functions so that you

can access them with ease (A 92).

Face detection

When a subject's face is detected, the

camcorder can track and focus on it (A 54).

Furthermore, you can have the camcorder in

manual focus but switch to autofocus only

when a face is detected, ensuring that

important subjects are in focus.

AVCHD/MP4 recording and dual

recording

When you record, you can choose between

AVCHD and MP4 formats (A 36). You can

also use dual recording (A 46) to record the

same scene to both memory cards and even

record on both memory cards using different

formats. Dual recording is convenient, for

example, to create a backup of your recording.

5

Other Features

Audio scene select

With the audio scene select function (A 79),

you can optimize the audio settings of the

built-in microphone by selecting the audio

scene that matches your surroundings. Your

audience will feel even more immersed in the

scene during playback.

Smart AUTO

Smart AUTO (A 39) automatically selects the

best scene mode for the scene you want to

shoot. You get spectacular recordings every

time without worrying about settings.

Wi-Fi functions

Because the camcorder is compatible with

Wi-Fi, you have access to a variety of

convenient functions such as using a

smartphone or tablet as a remote control

(A 120), using the Web browser on a

smartphone or tablet to view the camcorder's

recordings (A 126), and using an iOS device

to share your videos on the Internet (A 128).

OLED screen and LCD viewfinder

The OLED screen and LCD viewfinder both

have 100% frame coverage, which will ensure

that you can accurately check that your shots

are framed how you want them. The OLED

screen has incredible clarity, which is

indispensible in checking the details of those

important shots. The viewfinder can be tilted

45 degrees upward, which gives you additional

range and versatility while you shoot.

Touch AE

By simply touching the screen, you can make

dark areas in the picture appear brighter

(A 65). This operation is simple yet allows

you to shoot with the desired exposure.

Added and improved functionality

Other functions include relay recording (A 46)

and conversion to MP4 (A 114).
