Canon HV40 - 24p Cinema Mode
As an alternative, 24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to have another way 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 Canon Legria's HV40's CINE 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.


Canon HV40 - 30p Progressive Mode
Until quite recently, you'd 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 Canon HV40 to record 30p Progressive Frame Rate. This is particularly useful for footage you plan to upload to the Internet for sharing. In addition, this setting gives enhanced quality to still images captured after recording. 30p Progressive Mode is also excellent for capturing quick action shots and sporting events.

Canon HV40 - Advanced Accessory Shoe Terminal
Another pro-level feature of the Canon Legria HV40 is the Advanced Accessory Shoe Terminal on the camcorder. Attach available extras such as a Canon VFL-1 video light or a Canon DM-50 Directional Stereo Microphone without additional wires or batteries. It's a sure way to help raise the production values of all your videos.

Canon HV40 - Variable Zoom Speed Control
Another sure sign of amateur video is the unsteady zoom shot. But with the Canon Legria HV40's zoom control, you simply select one of three pre-set zoom speeds for smooth, steady, professional-looking zooms.

Canon HV40 - 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 Canon Legria HV40's bright Mini 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 candle-lit terrace at night, the Canon Legria HV40 captures all the moments you want to record.
