Powerful Camera

The Canon LEGRIA HF G26 offers Full HD resolution. What is even more important, is that it can handle speeds of 50 frames per second which gives the video a detailed smoothness. The combination of a HD CMOS Pro sensor and DIGIC DV4 processor delivers incredible light sensitivity, contrast and wide dynamic range without compromising Full 1080p HD. This powerful hardware is enhanced by a high-quality lens that boasts f/1.8-2.8 brightness.  This allows filmmakers to capture content in conditions with light as low as 0.1 lux, ideal for video enthusiasts capturing nighttime documentaries. You can save recorded material in AVCHD or MP4 format at 3MB/s. This fast rate combines with the fast memory card (max. 64GB) and makes for for easy sharing.

How is the LEGRIA HF G26 controlled?

Operating the camera is made easy by the user-friendly menu. A large 3" touchscreen can be used, for example, to navigate through the menu. Hold the camera, press the shutter button and zoom in with your right hand. You can sharpen by using your left hand since the lens is equipped with a MF ring. For full visibility when capturing footage, especially in bright conditions, aspiring film makers can adjust the 1.56 million dot electronic tilting viewfinder up to 45° for low-angle shooting and to reduce glare. 

What does the LEGRIA HF G26 do extra?

Using the three-position switch, users can easily alternate between Manual, Auto and Cinema modes without changing individual settings. With up to 20x optical zoom, the LEGRIA HF G26 enables the creative capture of video from wide shots to extreme close ups, capturing even distant subjects in brilliant Full-HD quality. Using a Wide Dynamic Range of 600 per cent and Highlight Priority looks, the LEGRIA HF G26 records Full HD 50p at 35Mb/s delivering high-quality footage, while evenly distributing tones and managing areas of brightness. This produces beautiful video footage straight from the camcorder. The 8-bladed circular aperture helps you achieve a perfectly focused subject in the foreground and a brightly blurred background. You get a more dynamic look.  You can also manually adjust the image colour balance and choose between standard and high brightness. Similarly, the LEGRIA HF G26 offsets overexposure in bright conditions with its built-in ND Filter reducing the amount of light that reaches the sensor.
