Canon Exclusive: SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization
The high-resolution images of High Defi nition video demand a steady hand. It’s easier to get those
clear, steady images with the HG10, thanks to Canon’s innovative SuperRange Optical Image
Stabilization. It combines gyro- and image-sensors to give image stabilization through a wider range
of camera motions. Some image stabilization systems correct one type of camera motion or vibration
better than another. But Canon’s SuperRange OIS corrects for a wide range of camcorder motion: the
fast vibration you’d experience while recording from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of hand-
held recording; and the slower motion of body sway. No matter what you’re recording and how you’re
recording it, the HG10’s stabilization design corrects camcorder shake instantly. SuperRange OIS
also delivers steady images when shooting at long focal lengths.
In addition, optical stabilization keeps your shot steady without a loss
in image quality — something that can’t be said for electronic image
stabilization. And image stabilization isn’t just for video; you can even use
it for taking sharper, clearer digital photographs with your HG10. Thanks to
Canon’s expertise, it’s easy to eliminate one of the telltale signs of amateur
video and photography.
