Auto Exposure Modes
Like any good digital still camera, the VIXIA HV30 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 HV30 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 HV30, you can record HD video and capture a 2
Megapixel photo to a memory card -- simultaneously. Simply press
the photo button while recording 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 HV30 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.
