Canon Exclusive: Full HD CMOS Sensor (1920 x 1080)
The VIXIA HV30 features a Canon designed and manufactured
CMOS image sensor. The CMOS image sensors in Canon’s EOS
Series Digital SLR cameras result in outstanding digital photographs.
In the VIXIA HV30, the CMOS sensor reproduces high-resolution
images at 1920 x 1080 resolution with full HD information in video
images.
Compared to a CCD, the VIXIA HV30’s CMOS’s high color
resolution and advanced color reproduction gives brilliant results.
It is also unique in featuring Canon’s proprietary noise reduction
technologies for crisp, sharp images. Low noise technology also
means that even in dimly lit scenes, the signal from each pixel is as
pure as possible, with minimal noise or other aberrations. It’s the
ideal sensor for HD.
The VIXIA HV30 uses an RGB Primary Color Filter with Bayer Pattern that
separates light into red, green and blue color components. This results in vibrant
images with deep, rich, accurate color and natural-looking tones similar to what
you’d obtain from 3CCD camcorders. In addition, it is the Bayer pattern that
delivers sharp high de nition images without creating false colors. As an added
bene t, the CMOS sensor provides outstanding image capture in low light
conditions.
