<\/p>\nExpress your creative passion \u2013 Canon\u2019s new LEGRIA HF G25<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SYDNEY, 8 January, 2013<\/i><\/b> \u2013 Canon Australia today enhances its renowned LEGRIA consumer camcorder range with a new flagship model for creative video enthusiasts \u2013 the LEGRIA HF G25<\/b>. Building on the outstanding performance offered by its predecessor, the highly-popular LEGRIA HF G10, the LEGRIA HF G25 features a first-class specification optimised to deliver leading video quality.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe LEGRIA HF G25 offers a precision Canon-engineered wide-angle lens, extensive manual controls and exceptional audio performance in a compact, user-friendly body. It is an ideal, affordable choice for aspiring videographers looking to explore their creative potential,\u201d says Kai Lebens, Product Manager \u2013 Consumer Cameras and Lenses, Canon Australia.<\/p>\n
Professional image quality<\/b><\/p>\n
Thanks to its premium and highly powerful HD Camera System, the LEGRIA HF G25 delivers stunning, professional-standard results.\u00a0 At its heart is an enhanced Canon HD CMOS PRO image sensor, which now offers a 20% improvement in light sensitivity over its predecessor. Combining with the lens\u2019 maximum f\/1.8 aperture, the sensor delivers outstanding low-light performance and wide dynamic range, capturing atmosphere and detail in shadows, while also preventing highlight blow-out in high-contrast conditions.<\/p>\n
The camera\u2019s optical 30.4mm Wide-Angle HD video lens helps achieve superior quality results, enabling videographers to capture more of the scene. When shooting, or viewing images in bright conditions, the lens\u2019 anti-reflective structure prevents light reflections or glare.<\/p>\n
A 10x optical zoom is enhanced by Canon\u2019s acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, counteracting camera shake throughout the zoom range. Canon\u2019s Intelligent IS technology is also included to ensure each shot is crisp, clear and blur-free. By automatically selecting one of four different modes, including the Dynamic and Powered modes, Intelligent IS ensures that whether enthusiasts are shooting whilst walking, experimenting with macro, or zooming into far off action, each recording is captured in vivid detail and with minimal blur.<\/p>\n
Enhanced audio performance<\/b><\/p>\n
To complement exceptional visual performance, the LEGRIA HF G25 features an internal microphone, audio equaliser and Canon\u2019s advanced Audio Scene Select technology. Working together with the high quality internal microphone, Audio Scene Select features five different modes with sound settings optimised for the scene being shot, including Noise Reduction, Music and Speech. Users can simply select the most suitable mode for their scene and let the camera do the work, freeing them to focus exclusively on composition.<\/p>\n
The high-quality internal microphone reduces mid and low-frequency background noise, picking out even softer sounds with crystal-clear audio. An audio equaliser also optimises the sound according to the type of soundtrack, especially useful when shooting a scene with live music or individual voices. Zoom Mic mode adjusts microphone directionality for subjects in front of the camcorder, ensuring improved sound quality when zooming into distant subjects.<\/p>\n
In addition to the internal mic, compatibility with the WM-V1 wireless microphone provides additional flexibility \u2013 enabling the voices of subjects up to 50m from the camcorder to be captured without any loss of quality. The wireless mic can be used as a transceiver, allowing camcorder operators to position their subject conveniently before filming.<\/p>\n
Expert shooting on the move<\/b><\/p>\n
The LEGRIA HF G25\u2019s advanced feature set is packed into a compact body that helps users capture the shot they want, when they want. Its new design is based around the heart of the device \u2013 the camera lens. A new lens hood with lens barrier replaces the more traditional lens cap and offers enhanced protection and quicker functionality on the move. Operated by a single switch, the new lens hood can easily be opened and closed between recordings, reducing the need to carry extra accessories.<\/p>\n
Unleash your creativity<\/b><\/p>\n
Eight pre-loaded Cinema-Look Filters help users to add drama, convey feeling or create a stylised effect in-camera. For example, Old Movie gives footage an aged effect consistent with older cinema reels, whilst Vivid accentuates primary colours for a cheerful, bright impact. Once the filter has been selected, it can be further refined on-screen according to key, colour depth, contrast and soft focus, allowing the user to perform sophisticated grading effects using only the camera.<\/p>\n
Once shot, it\u2019s easy to add simple titles to movies, or create green screen effects, thanks to Touch Decoration. Using the supplied stylus, text can be added and still images mixed with video clips on the camera\u2019s large LCD screen.<\/p>\n
A Story Creator is included, guiding users in planning, capturing and sharing compelling stories with video, without any external post-production required.<\/p>\n
Shooting control<\/b><\/p>\n
A lens ring provides close control over focus during shooting, while a customisable control dial can be assigned to manually adjust critical functions including aperture, shutter speed and gain. Two assignable buttons beside the 8.8cm (3.5\u201d) LCD display also provide direct access to a selection of additional functions, including Face-Only AF, Backlight Correction and Priority WB modes. A 0.61cm (0.24\u201d) Colour Viewfinder provides 100% coverage, offering added convenience for those who predominantly shoot outdoors, or in low-light indoor environments.<\/p>\n
With both Double Slot and Relay Recording support, users are able to record movies to two memory cards[i]<\/a> at the same time, or seamlessly switch recording from 32GB of internal storage to one card, and then to the next. Video clips can also be copied from one card to another post-shoot for added flexibility.<\/p>\n Share your video<\/b><\/p>\n Sharing the footage shot on the LEGRIA HF G25 has never been easier. In-camcorder down-conversion is supported, preparing the movies for upload to online video sharing sites, either via a PC with Canon\u2019s Easy Web Upload software or direct from the camera using supported Eye-Fi wireless cards[ii]<\/a>.<\/p>\n LEGRIA HF G25 \u2013 Key Features:<\/b><\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 Canon HD Video Lens<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 Canon\u2019s advanced HD CMOS PRO sensor<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 Full manual control<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 Optical Intelligent IS<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 Audio Scene Select<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 8.8cm touch screen LCD<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 Instant AF; Face Detection<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 Protective lens hood<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 32GB internal memory<\/p>\n \u00fc\u00a0 2x SDXC slots<\/p>\n Availability<\/b><\/p>\n The LEGRIA HF G25 is expected to be available in Australia from March with pricing set at dealer discretion.<\/p>\n _____________________________<\/p>\n 1<\/sup>SDXC, SDHC, SD card formats supported<\/p>\n 2<\/sup>This product is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions (including wireless transfer).
