Highlights of the LEGRIA HF G25
The Canon LEGRIA HF G25 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 and DIGIC DV III
processor
The camcorder is equipped with a
1/3-type CMOS sensor that captures video at
an effective pixel count of approximately 2.07
megapixels (1920x1080). The video is then
processed by the state-of-the-art DIGIC DV III
image processor. This allows the camcorder to
excel in low-light situations and produce a
wide dynamic range.
Wide zoom lens
With a focal length at full wide angle of
30.4 mm (35 mm equivalent), the camcorder
has superb wide-angle shooting capability. The
minimum object distance is 60 cm throughout
the entire zoom range, which means that you
can create a pleasing blurred background
effect at full telephoto. The 8-bladed iris
aperture also enhances the blurred
background effect.
Shoot cinematic video
Using CINEMA mode and the cinema-look
filters (A 101), 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 55) will let you shoot in a
variety of situations in the field. Moreover, in
full-automatic mode, Intelligent IS (A 39) will
select the optimal type of image stabilization
for the recording situation.
Manual controls at your fingertips
The focus ring helps you achieve the focus you
are looking for. Furthermore, you can assign
certain frequently used functions to a
customizable button and adjust those
functions with the accompanying dial (A 84).
Face detection
When a subject's face is detected, the
camcorder can track and focus on it (A 49).
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.
Relay recording and double slot
recording
When you use relay recording (A 34), you
can use the double memory card slot to keep
on recording video without interruption. Double
slot recording (A 35) allows you to record
movies simultaneously to two memory cards,
which is a convenient way to back up your
recordings.
Other Features
Audio
With the audio scene select function (A 68),
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.
COPY
4
LCD screen and viewfinder
The LCD screen and viewfinder both have
100% frame coverage, which will ensure that
you can accurately check that your shots are
framed how you want them.
Touch AE
By simply touching the screen, you can make
dark areas in the picture appear brighter
(A 60). This operation is simple yet allows
you to shoot with the desired exposure.
Added and improved functionality
Other functions include two types of video
scopes (A 79), conversion to standard
definition (A 133) and Story Creator mode
(A 99), which allows you to create
engrossing video stories.

Charging the Battery Pack
19
Preparations
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 171).
1 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter.
2 Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
3 Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder’s
DC IN terminal.
4 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder.
Press the battery pack softly into the battery attachment
unit and slide it forward until it clicks in place.
5 Charging will start when the camcorder is turned off.
If the camcorder was on, the green ON/OFF (CHG)
indicator will go out when you turn off the camcorder. After
a moment, the ON/OFF (CHG) indicator will turn on in red
(battery pack charging). The red ON/OFF (CHG) indicator
will go out when the battery pack is fully charged.
If the indicator flashes, refer to Troubleshooting (A 156).

Charging the Battery Pack
20
To remove the battery pack
1 Slide d in the direction of the arrow and
hold it pressed down.
2 Slide the battery pack and then pull it out.
IMPORTANT
Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After
pressing P to turn off the camcorder, important data is updated in the memory. Be sure to
wait until the green ON/OFF (CHG) indicator goes out.
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 ON/OFF (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.
