Optimal Image Quality
Super-Range Optical Image Stabilization




With the high-resolution images of High Definition, image stabilization is more important than ever. That's why Canon has made the HV10 the world's first consumer HD camcorder to feature Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). What's more, the HV10 features Canon's advanced Super-Range OIS.


Super-Range Optical Image Stabilizer
Canon's innovative Super-Range OIS 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 stabilization technology 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.

In addition, optical stabilization keeps your shot steady without a loss in image quality -- something that can't be said for electronic image stabilization. Image stabilization also works when taking digital still photographs with your HV10.
