Canon Exclusive: SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization

The high-resolution images of High Definition video demand a steady hand. It’s easier to get those clear, steady images with the VIXIA HF100, 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 VIXIA HF100’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 VIXIA HF100. Thanks to Canon’s expertise, it’s easy to eliminate one of the telltale signs of amateur video and photography.
