The VIXIA HF G30 features a Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Lens offering a 35mm equivalent of 26.8mm - 576mm with a minimum object distance of just 23.6 inches (60cm).
The VIXIA HF G30 breaks new ground with its 8-Blade Circular Aperture, which reduces the "starburst" effect found in camcorders with non-circular apertures. The result is that points of light in out-of-focus areas are beautifully circularly blurred, creating a more authentic and artistic feel. The professional touch of a manual focus ring allows accurate and precise control. For extra flexibility, the manual focus ring can be easily set to control zoom instead.
The VIXIA HF G30 gives you the highest quality recording, whether you're capturing MP4 or AVCHD files. 1080/60p recording captures twice the amount of information as 60i, so even fast moving subjects show up crisply with motion and patterns clearly recorded.
With the VIXIA HF G30 you can record in internet-ready, easy-to-share MP4 format at up to 35 Mbps. The VIXIA HF G30 also features a maximum bit rate of 28 Mbps for AVCHD recording, the highest in the AVCHD standard. So, regardless of the format you're shooting or viewing, image quality is outstanding.
Native 24p Progressive Mode allows 24 frames per second to be captured and recorded (instead of the standard 60i) - a look that is evocative of traditional cinematic quality, and a must for serious filmmaking work.
Record in a different frame rate than the one you play back in, adding a fast or slow motion effect to your captured video. Speed up your video 250% or slow it down to 40% with virtually no loss in image quality.
