Introduction
Highlights of the Camcorder
The Canon VIXIA HF G60 4K 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.
4K Recording
Advanced sensor and image processor
At the heart of the camcorder is the 1.0 in. single
plate CMOS sensor with an 8,290,000 effective pixel
count, and the DIGIC DV 6 imaging platform.
Thanks to its advanced high-sensitivity and noise
reduction technology, the camcorder can shoot
nuanced images with little noise even in low-light
situations.
Wide zoom lens
The camcorder features a 15x optical zoom lens
with a focal length at full wide angle of 25.5 mm*
(35 mm equivalent), offering superb wide-angle
shooting capability.
* Except when using Dynamic IS.
Convenience and Functionality
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 54)
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 easily change the ring's
functionality so that you can operate the zoom. You
can also assign certain frequently used functions to
a customizable button and adjust those functions
with the accompanying dial (A 83). Additionally,
the camcorder also features 5 assignable buttons
on the camcorder and one onscreen assignable
touch button to which you can assign a variety of
functions to access them with ease (A 84).
SD card recording options
The camcorder can record 4K video in MP4 format
on an SD card. It is equipped with 2 SD card slots,
allowing you to use dual recording to record the
same clip on two SD cards, or relay recording to
automatically switch to the other SD card when the
one being used is full (A 33).
Time code options (A 67)
The time code generated by the camcorder can be
output from the HDMI OUT terminal in order to
synchronize it with other external devices. A user bit
code (A 69) can also be output with the output
signal.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
The camcorder features Dual Pixel CMOS AF
technology for improved autofocus functions
(A 43). In addition to continuous AF, AF-boosted
MF lets you focus manually most of the way and let
the camcorder finish focusing automatically. With
AF-boosted MF the camcorder does not perform
unreliable focus adjustments, resulting in a more
stable focusing operation than with continuous AF.
The camcorder can also focus automatically on
people's faces and track moving subjects while
keeping them in focus (A 48). Furthermore, the
camcorder can be in manual focus but switch to
autofocus when a face is detected (face-only AF),
ensuring that important subjects are in focus
(A 49).
Dual Pixel Focus Guide (A 45)
The focus guide serves as a visual, intuitive guide
that you can use to check if the image is in focus
and the required adjustment, if it is not. This can be
very helpful to ensure you always get amazingly
sharp 4K video.
MP4 Join Tool
MP4 Join Tool (A 107) is a small application that
lets you join MP4 clips that were split into multiple
files.
3
Creativity and Artistic Expression
Special recording modes
When you make recordings, you can change the
recording frame rate to achieve a fast or slow motion
effect (A 42). Alternatively, you can use pre-
recording to record 3 seconds before you press the
button, helping you capture those hard-to-catch
opportunities (A 79).
Looks (
A 66)
You can adjust various aspects of the picture, such
as the color depth, sharpness and brightness, to
create a desired "look". If you prefer, you can use
one of the preset looks offered. The [ Neutral]
look for example produces a more natural perceived
resolution, while the [ Wide DR] look applies a
gamma curve with a very wide dynamic range and
an appropriate color matrix.
Custom picture settings (A 86)
Select one of the preset color settings or set the
combination of gamma curve, color space and color
matrix that you wish to use. Then, you can adjust a
number of other image-related parameters in detail.
With the Canon Log 3 gamma curve which features
an expanded dynamic range, you can be sure that
the camcorder covers your creative needs.
Other Features
Battery packs compatible with Intelligent System
for better remaining usage time information.
Compatibility with the optional GP-E2 GPS
Receiver to geotag your recordings (A 81).
Compatibility with the optional RC-V100 Remote
Controller when you need a professional level of
remote operation (A 80).
Menu settings file that can be saved in the
camcorder or on an SD card to restore all the
menu settings or replicate them on another
VIXIA HF G60 camcorder (A 93).

Preparations
Preparing the Power Supply
You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the supplied compact power adapter. If you
connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw
power from the power outlet.
Attaching the Ferrite Core
Attach the enclosed ferrite core before you connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder. Attaching the
ferrite core to the compact power adapter cable is necessary to suppress RF interference.
1 Attach the ferrite core to the cable about 6 cm (2.4 in.) from the DC plug
(the plug to be connected to the DC IN terminal).
2Pass the cable through the center of the core and wrap it around the core
(as shown in the illustration), then close the unit until it clicks shut.
Charging a Battery Pack
You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-820 Battery Pack or the optional BP-828 Battery Pack.
Both battery packs are compatible with Intelligent System so you can check the approximate remaining battery
usage time (in minutes) on the screen. For more accurate readings, when using a battery pack for the first time,
charge it fully and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely depleted.
1 Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder and plug the power cord into a power outlet.
2 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder.
Preparing the Power Supply
18
3 Charging will start when the camcorder is turned off.
The POWER/CHG (charge) indicator will illuminate in red while the battery is charging. If the POWER/CHG
indicator starts flashing, refer to Troubleshooting (A 117).
4 When the POWER/CHG indicator goes out, the battery is fully charged.
Disconnect the compact power adapter from the camcorder and unplug the power cord.
To remove the battery pack
1 Slide the BATTERY RELEASE switch in the direction of the arrow
and hold it pressed down.
2 Slide the battery pack down and then pull it out.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect to the compact power adapter any product that is not expressly recommended for use with
this camcorder.
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After you turn off the
camcorder, important data is updated on the SD card. Be sure to wait until the green POWER/CHG indicator
goes out.
When using the compact power adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a
malfunction.
To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied compact power
adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and
ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). If
either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C
(32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.
The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG indicator
has gone out before restoring the power supply.
Illuminated in red while
the battery is charging
19
Preparing the Power Supply
If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the compact power adapter so the
battery pack will not be consumed.
Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Safety Instructions and Handling Precautions
(A 122). For charging times and approximate usage times, refer to Reference Tables (A 132).
Checking the Remaining Battery Charge
With the camcorder turned off, press the BATT. INFO button to
display for about 5 seconds a screen showing the approximate
battery charge level. Note that if the battery charge is too low,
the battery information screen may not appear.
Preparing the Camcorder
20
Preparing the Camcorder
This section covers basic preparations for the camcorder such as attaching the lens hood, adjusting the
viewfinder and LCD screen, and adjusting the grip belt.
IMPORTANT
Be careful not to drop the camcorder when attaching, removing or adjusting the various accessories. Using a
table or other stable surface is recommended.
Attaching the Lens Hood
While recording, the supplied lens hood with lens barrier is
effective for reducing stray light that can be the cause of lens
flare and ghost images. Additionally, closing the lens barrier
can help prevent fingerprints and dirt accumulation on the
lens.
1 Remove the lens cap.
2 Align the groove on the lens hood with the index
mark on the top of the lens (
), and then turn the
lens hood clockwise until it stops with a click
().
Be careful not to deform the lens hood.
Make sure that the lens hood is aligned with the thread.
To remove the l e n s hood
1Press and hold the lens hood release button and turn
the lens hood counterclockwise.
2 Place the lens cap back on the lens.
NOTES
About the lens cap:
Use the supplied lens cap when carrying the camcorder or storing it after use.
The lens cap and lens hood cannot be used simultaneously. To attach the lens hood, remove the lens cap in
advance.
