Steady Shooting Through a Mega Zoom Range
-----------------------------------------
57x Advanced Zoom
-----------------
You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the
VIXIA HF R52 camcorder and its impressive 57x Advanced Zoom
range. Long-range shooting allows you to create videos with
dynamic variety, and is less likely to disrupt the action you're
shooting. It's perfect for formal ceremonies, animals in the
wild, candid family videos and more. Advanced Zoom, available in
manual mode, has been achieved with more efficient use of the
effective imaging area. It takes the camcorder's telephoto power
from 32.5mm all the way to 1,853mm (35mm equivalent) for
extraordinary flexibility in shooting. For more convenient
shooting and better creative control over your videos, the
camcorder offers continually variable Zoom Speed settings, with
15 levels available.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization

Canon's sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
corrects camera shake instantly, so even handheld video taken at
long focal lengths is sharp and steady. Providing continuous
adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad
range of motion, with extra compensation applied at wide-angle
focal lengths, the Dynamic Image Stabilization system on the
VIXIA HF R52 stabilizes rotational camera shake. Controlling
rotational camera shake – horizontal, vertical and roll axis –
ensures smooth, distortion-free video, even when you're walking
while shooting.

Capture Moving Subjects Crisp and Clear
---------------------------------------
MP4 (35 Mbps) or AVCHD Progressive (28 Mbps)
------------------------------------------------------
The VIXIA HF R52 gives you the highest quality , whether
you're capturing MP4 or AVCHD files. 1080/60p captures
twice the a of information as 60i, and with images captured
at a rate of 60 frames per second, diagonal noise is eliminated
so even fast moving subjects show up crisply with motion and
patterns clearly recorded. This greater sense of detail and
faithful rendering of moving edges, plus enhanced color and fine
tonal gradation, gives your video everything Full HD has to
offer. AVCHD Progressive records at a bit rate of 28 Mbps, which
is the highest in the AVCHD standard, and MP4 files are captured
at a bit rate of 35 Mbps, so regardless of the format you're
shooting or viewing, image quality is as high as can be.

Dual and built-in transcoding ensure that no matter how
you decide to use the video you've recorded, you'll have the
right format available. Using the power of the DIGIC DV 4 Image
Processor, the VIXIA HF R52 camcorder can simultaneously record

MP4 format^. The widely used MP4 format provides quick,
conversion-free playback on s and s, and lets you

sharing with friends, family and the world. AVCHD is perfect for
watching videos on an HDTV or archiving them to Blu-ray discs.
The camcorder also has a built-in transcoding function that
converts AVCHD files to MP4s, or from MP4 to MP4 across memory
media, making them easy to upload to the Web or save to an SD
card.

screen, making shooting and other operations easy. Simply open
the panel and the power is on. The display is clear and vivid,
and just as with your or , a gentle touch
activates intuitive functions. Choose a focal point, track moving
subjects, control exposure for selected areas, and operate
camcorder controls from the screen, all with a simple touch. In
addition, the easy-to-use user interface makes your shooting
experience simpler and more fun. The Home button is on the menu
screen, and provides quick access to all functions. Clear
explanations for key settings pop up when selecting shooting
modes and formats, so you can be confident in the
decisions you make.
The Easiest Way to Capture, Track and Share Your Baby's
Development
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Baby Mode
---------
A complete solution for capturing, tracking, organizing and
sharing every precious moment of your baby's development, Baby
Mode on the VIXIA HF R52 camcorder has been advanced to allow you
to follow the growth of up to three children. A custom control
button on the shooting screen activates the mode, and optimal
settings for the shooting conditions, including Intelligent IS
and more, are automatically selected. Simply pick up the
camcorder and start , knowing capture will be of the
highest quality. Videos in Baby Mode are automatically saved
into a dedicated Baby Album so they'll never get lost among your
other videos. You can then view the Baby Album chronologically
for a seamless way to relive and share your baby's growth with
friends and relatives.
When you're shooting in Baby Mode, the camcorder's Pre-Record
(Pre REC) function is always on. This places the camcorder in a
stand-by “pre-roll” mode, where it continuously records three
seconds of video to memory before you even press the record
button. When you start , the additional video is
recorded too, so it's easier than ever to capture the baby's
“firsts” and every special moment.
Touch Decoration in Baby Mode includes stamps to mark each video
with your baby's current height and weight. And with a single
registration of the baby's birth date, the camcorder will
automatically calculate the number of days old and stamp videos
accordingly, creating an exact diary of developmental milestones
for years to come. The number of decorations has been vastly
increased on the VIXIA HF R52 so it's even easier to make a fun
video commemorating your baby's special moments. The camcorder's
other Touch Decoration options, including your own drawings,
captions, animations and more, are fully available in Baby Mode,
and all can easily be appended to previously video as well.
More Shooting Time with Every Charge
------------------------------------
High Capacity Battery
---------------------
The VIXIA HF R52 is powered by a high capacity battery pack. The
rechargeable lithium-ion battery not only lets you shoot for long
periods, but features intelligent technology that accurately
indicates remaining battery time down to the minute, for extra
insurance that you'll never miss an important shooting
rtunity.
Additional Features
-------------------
Audio Scene Select
------------------
Audio Scene Select offers five modes that automatically optimize
settings based on the situation, making it easy to
record realistic, immersive audio in a range of situations.
Standard Standard audio setting, best for in mixed
audio environments Music Rich soundstage and timbre, perfect for
live indoor performances Forest and Birds Natural soundscapes are
clearly audible; used in relatively quiet forests or places with
birdsong Speech focused on the speaker in front of the
camcorder Noise Suppression Reduces ambient noise, wind and the
sound of moving vehicles
Smart AUTO and Auto Tele Macro
------------------------------
Smart AUTO lets you capture clear, bright, well-focused video
while the camcorder takes care of all the details. The system
recognizes 38 shooting situations based on numerous factors, then
automatically chooses the optimal settings for the situation.
When you shoot a nearby subject in telephoto zoom mode, Auto Tele
Macro gives your video the high-end artistic effect of a
well-focused subject against a beautifully blurred background.
Genuine Canon Face Detection
----------------------------
The same high quality Face Detection technology used in Canon
digital cameras is available in Canon high definition camcorders.
Up to 35 faces can be tracked automatically, ensuring razor-sharp
focus and natural, accurate exposure. Of the faces tracked, 9
detection frames can be displayed at one time.
In fact, the system is so intelligent that it will recognize
faces turned downwards or sideways. In addition, a specific face
may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. This
feature is convenient in searching for clips that feature the
specific subject's face. In search and playback, use of the Face
Index will display those frames with the chosen face as a
thumbnail in each in which it appears. Your selected face
can also be linked as a timeline to further identify footage
containing your subject.
Cinema-Look Filters
-------------------
The VIXIA HF R52 allows you to create cinematic looks with the
use of Cinema-Look Filters. This feature offers a choice of seven
varied built-in adjustable filters, which give the look of a
variety of cinematic styles by compensating for the color, gamma
and other aspects of the image's quality. The looks can be
previewed in the LCD display while shooting, and also applied
post-capture for additional convenience and versatility. Choose
from:
Cinema Standard Recreates the warm tones and muted highlights of
classic film Cool Adds a bluish tint for cool, futuristic-looking
scenes Dramatic B&W Creates bold black-and-white video with high
contrast and grain Old Movies Gives video the aged look of old
cinema Nostalgic Recreates the look of old ‘70s TV programs Sepia
Applies a sepia tint for an antique, faded look Vivid Accentuates
primary colors for a bright, cheerful look The brightness of each
filter can be adjusted low, medium or high, for even greater
control. When Cinema Standard is selected, color depth,
softening, and contrast can also be adjusted.
Video Snap
--------------
Video Snap allows you to capture the highlights of a
once-in-a-lifetime trip or a family milestone with the same ease
as taking photos. Simply record a series of short video clips –
or select your favorite clips while in Playback Mode – and blend
in your favorite background music to create an exciting movie
that will grab everyone's attention. Video Snap on the VIXIA
HF R52 allows selectable time (2, 4, or 8 seconds).
Additionally, audio from an external source such as an MP3 player
can be played along with the Snap movie, and playback can be
controlled from that source.
24p Cinema and 30p Progressive Shooting Modes
---------------------------------------------
The VIXIA HF R52 camcorder's sophisticated shooting mode options
offer superior creativity and functionality. 24p Cinema Mode
gives your video a film-like feel, making it look as if it were
at the same frame rate as movie film, with a frame capture
rate of 24p recorded at 60i. The camcorder also gives you the
option of in 30p Progressive Mode, which is ideal for
clips you intend to post online.
Accessories Get the Most from Your Camcorder
--------------------------------------------
Canon helps you get more out of your camcorder with a wide range
of accessories that inspire your creativity and productivity
alike. The Wireless Microphone WM-V1 streams audio wirelessly
from subjects up to 164 feet away. It's perfect for adding your
subject's voice at times when you can't get in close to shoot,
and can also be used as a stand-alone transceiver to cue shooting
and more. And with the optional UA-100 USB Adapter, you can
connect the camcorder directly to an external hard disk drive.
Now when you're on vacation or at other times when you'll be
shooting a lot of video, you can back up data directly to an
external hard disk, and even play video on a TV through your
camcorder. An external hard disk is more economical than multiple
SD cards, and connects simply to the camcorder with the optional
USB cable.
