Highlights of the LEGRIA HF G40
The Canon LEGRIA HF G40 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
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.
With a focal length at full wide angle of
26.8 mm* (35 mm equivalent), the camcorder
has superb wide-angle shooting capability. The
lens is also capable of 20x optical zoom.
* 28.8 mm when using Dynamic IS.
You can adjust many aspects of the picture,
such as the color depth, sharpness and
brightness so that you create a desired "look"
(A 71). The camera also comes with preset
looks from which you can choose. The first is
the [Wide DR] look, which applies a gamma
curve with a very wide dynamic range and an
appropriate color matrix. The second is the
[Highlight Priority] look, which creates a natural
gradation in tones and reduces overexposure
in bright areas by not compressing highlights.
When playing back video shot with that look,
you can appreciate the improved detail when
using an external monitor set to brighter
settings.
Operability
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.
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 (A92).
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 93).
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.
When you record, you can choose between
AVCHD and MP4 formats (A 35). You can
also use dual recording (A 45) 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.
4
(A 47, 89)
When you make recordings, you can change
the recording frame rate to achieve a fast or
slow motion effect. Alternatively, you can use
pre-recording to record 3 seconds before you
decide to start recording, helping you capture
those hard-to-catch opportunities.
Other Features
With the audio scene select function (A 80),
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 (A 38) automatically selects the
best scene mode for the scene you want to
shoot. You get spectacular recordings every
time without worrying about settings.
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 121), using the Web browser on a
smartphone or tablet to view the camcorder's
recordings (A 127), and using an iOS device
to share your videos on the Internet (A 129).
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.
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.
Other functions include relay recording (A 45)
and conversion to MP4 (A 115).

Preparations
Attaching the Ferrite Core
Attach the enclosed ferrite core before you connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder.
Pass 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 the Battery Pack
The camcorder can be powered with a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter.
For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer
to Charging, Recording and Playback Times (A 181).
Press the battery pack softly into the battery attachment
unit and slide it forward until it clicks in place.

If the camcorder was on, the green POWER/CHG indicator
will go out when you turn off the camcorder. After a
moment, the POWER/CHG indicator will turn on in red
(battery pack charging). The red POWER/CHG indicator will
go out when the battery pack is fully charged.
If the indicator flashes, refer to Troubleshooting (A 158).

IMPORTANT
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After you
turn off the camcorder, important data is updated on the memory card. Be sure to wait until the
green POWER/CHG indicator goes out.
When using the AC adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a malfunction.
Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the compact power adapter any electrical
equipment that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
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. If either the
ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 C to
40 C, 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.
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.
The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery
pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be
displayed accurately.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might
need.
