Auto Exposure Modes
Like any good digital still camera, the VIXIA HF100 lets you choose from a range of exposure modes.
Auto mode automatically sets the exposure, letting you concentrate on your subject. AV (aperture
priority) mode lets you control depth of fi eld by letting you choose the aperture. TV (shutter priority)
mode lets you select the shutter speed for sharp, action shots. In P (program) mode, the camcorder
adjusts camera settings automatically.
Program AE Mode
Your life happens everywhere, so the VIXIA HF100 gives you settings that automatically result in the
best exposure settings for different conditions and different subjects.
Portrait mode ensures shallow depth of fi eld for a pleasing background to your shots of friends and
family. Sports mode stops the action with faster shutter speeds. Night mode is designed to give you
great shots after the sun goes down. Snow and Beach modes compensate for bright surroundings
and give you the proper exposure on your subject. Sunset mode results in vibrant, well-exposed
colors for one of the toughest subjects to capture. Use Spotlight mode when your child is on stage
and in the spotlight -- literally -- and you want to make sure the exposure is right for them. And,
Fireworks mode records brilliant images of another tough subject: the holiday fi reworks display.
Simultaneous Photo Recording
With the VIXIA HF100, you can record HD video and capture a 2
Megapixel photo to a memory card -- simultaneously. Simply press the
photo button and you’ve got an e-mail ready digital photo to share with
friends and family.
Histogram Display
For the advanced digital photographer, the VIXIA HF100 comes with a Histogram Display -- a
feature found in Canon’s line of digital SLR cameras. The display allows you to see the brightness
information of your still images, so you can adjust your exposures as you shoot.
