The Canon VIXIA HF S11 boasts of preserving Canon’s core imaging technologies and is also built-in with many such features, which are capable of boosting functionality. The device boasts of offering matchless image quality and record around 24 hrs of crisp hi-def video to a 64GB internal flash drive.
1920 x 1080 Full HD Recording
The Canon VIXIA HF S11 not only captures images in Full HD, but records and outputs at 1920 x 1080* as well, so you get Full HD from lens to screen. Your memories are preserved in stunning clarity, and ready for playback on your HDTV. With the advanced codec in the VIXIA HF S11, you can also record at the highest AVCHD bit rate of 24Mbps.
24Mbps Recording
The 24Mbps recording capability of the VIXIA HF S11 gives you the highest quality AVCHD video possible. You’ll see enhanced detail, finer gradations of tones and improved reproduction of moving subjects. Video shot by the VIXIA HF S11 of fast-moving sporting events, multicolored butterflies on a variegated leaf or the shading of a brilliant sunset will be remarkable.

Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization
Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broader range of motion. In comparison to SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization, extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted shaking common when walking.
Instant AF (Auto Focus)
Another critical objective when shooting in high definition is achieving a very sharp focus. The VIXIA HF S11 camcorder features Canon’s revolutionary Instant AF focusing system which offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional auto focus systems). The Instant AF feature uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon’s auto focus system, to help significantly decrease the time it takes to find focus, even in low light conditions. This system achieves focus instantaneously, reducing focus “hunting.” The benefits of Instant AF are especially seen in high brightness and night shooting situations. With Instant AF, it’s possible to capture fast, accurate focusing, even when following a moving subject.
And because a properly focused subject is more critical than ever with HD, the VIXIA HF S11 also features Focus Assist. This helps in capturing your subject in razor-sharp focus. It works by providing a 2x magnification of your subject (when you start recording, this assistance is automatically cancelled). This is a feature normally found in professional broadcast-quality cameras. Another sophisticated control available on the VIXIA HF S11 is color peaking, which enhances the edges of your subject to aid in focusing.
Advanced Auto Exposure System
The VIXIA HF S11 has an Advanced AE System inspired by Canon’s EOS DSLR cameras. It’s designed to provide the most accurate exposure settings in a wide variety of lighting conditions. This enhanced Auto Exposure system, together with Face Detection and DIGIC DV III, captures an expanded dynamic range, optimizing brightness to avoid overexposure, while still preserving important shadow detail.
Some examples include:
* saturation of face tones in dark situations
* correction of backlighting
* correction of overlit (blowout) and underlit (black level correction)
24p Cinema Mode
24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a professional “film-look.” You can change the camcorder’s frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film. In addition, you can use the VIXIA HF S11′s CINEMA setting, which changes the color and tonal characteristics, evoking the look and feel of a movie shown in a theater. For added flexibility, these settings can be used together or independently.
30p Progressive Mode
You would normally have to look to professional video cameras in order to have this sophisticated tool at your command. In addition to the standard interlaced video frame rate of 60i, you may choose to set the VIXIA HF S11 to capture video in 30p, (30 progressive frames, recorded to 60i) which is particularly useful for footage to be used on the Internet. In addition, this setting gives enhanced quality to still images captured after recording. It’s also excellent for action shots and sports.
Focus Features
Auto Intelligent Auto Focus (AiAF) ensures sharp images and gives creative flexibility. Even when your subject isn’t in the center of the frame, the VIXIA HF S11′s 9-Point AiAF will automatically select from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp focus.
Auto Exposure Modes
Like any good digital still camera, the VIXIA HF S11 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 the depth of field 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.
Auto Exposure Bracketing
In challenging lighting situations, such as strong backlight, a dark background or a very sunny or snowy day, it can be tricky to get the right exposure for a photo. The AE Bracketing feature of the VIXIA HF S11 automatically takes three versions of the shot, with ‘dark,’ ‘normal’ and ‘light’ settings in Ѕ exposure steps so you may choose the one that best suits you.
Low Light Performance
Some of the most magical shots are taken at the end of the day or long after the sun has set. You won’t miss any of them, thanks to the VIXIA HF S11′s video light. The light lets you shoot subjects in color, in low light, up to 4.9 feet away. So, whether it’s a shot of a sleeping baby, or a group of friends on a candlelit terrace at night, the VIXIA HF S11 captures all the moments you want to record.
Manual Audio Level Control
To make your videos sound as good as they look, the VIXIA HF S11 offers a built-in audio meter and manual audio level adjustment. You’ll be able to tell at a glance if the sound you’re hearing is being recorded the way you want it and a simple control allows you to change the audio level if it’s not.
Improved Menu User Interface
For greater ease of use, the VIXIA HF S11 features a revised control button with cross movement action. It’s an intuitive design enabling you to push up, down, left or right to choose the menu option you wish.
