MP4 (35 Mbps) or AVCHD Progressive (28 Mbps)
------------------------------------------------------
The VIXIA HF R600 camcorder 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

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 R600 camcorder allows 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 R600 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.

Pack BP-718. 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.
Keep Distant Subjects in
------------------------------
Framing Assistance
------------------
The versatile 57x zoom on the VIXIA HF R600 camcorder is
indispensible for shooting long distance subjects without
intruding onto the scene or interrupting the action. But
sometimes it can be tricky to keep such a distant subject in the
frame. That's where Framing Assistance comes in. When you're
shooting at the long end of the zoom and you've lost your
subject, simply press an icon on the touch screen and the zoom
magnification will automatically decrease, making it easy for you
to locate the subject and zoom in on it again.
Intelligently Helping You Shoot Steady
--------------------------------------
Intelligent IS
--------------
Intelligent IS makes it easy to shoot clear, sharply focused
video, even in situations that typically cause camera shake. The
Intelligent IS system analyzes the shooting situation for you,
then automatically switches to the image stabilization method
best able to produce sharp, steady video. Four IS systems cover
the gamut of shooting situations. Dynamic IS corrects minor
movement and the shaking caused by walking while shooting. Macro
IS delivers perfectly steady close-up s. Powered IS comes
into play when you're using the VIXIA HF R600 camcorder's
powerful zoom, correcting shake that can occur in telephoto
s. Tripod Mode stops IS when the camcorder is stationary.
Superb Audio in Any Situation
-----------------------------
Audio Scene Select
------------------
Audio Scene Select on the VIXIA HF R600 camcorder allows you to
easily capture clear, high quality audio with a choice of five
audio modes to choose from based on your shooting situation:
Standard, Music, Speech, Forest and Birds, and Noise Suppression.

suited for the you're capturing, resulting in outstanding
video with realistic, immersive audio. Audio settings can also be
custom set to meet your shooting needs.
Automatically Beautiful Video
-----------------------------
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.
Fun, Creative Motion Play
-------------------------
Slow & Fast Motion
----------------------
You'll have fun using the VIXIA HF R600 camcorder's new Slow &
Fast Motion capabilities. You can record slow motion images at
speeds down to 1/2x – a great feature for checking out your
tennis swing, or creating videos with cinema-like expression.

of action as a 1-minute scene), for eye-popping action movie-like
effects.
Fun, Creative Ideas
-------------------
Cinema-Look Filter Effects
--------------------------
The VIXIA HF R600 camcorder 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.
Additional Features
-------------------
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.
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 R600 camcorder 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 R600 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.
