A convenient solution for capturing, tracking, organizing and sharing every precious moment of your baby's development, Baby Mode on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to follow the growth of up to three children. A custom control button on the shooting screen activates the mode, and suitable settings for the shooting conditions, including Intelligent IS and more, are automatically selected. Simply pick up the camcorder and start recording, knowing capture will be of high quality.

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 recording, the additional video is recorded too, so it's easy to capture the baby's "firsts" and other special moments. Touch Decoration in Baby Mode includes stamps to mark each video with your baby's current height and weight.

The versatile 57x zoom on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder is indispensable 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 Zoom Framing Assist 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. Now available in Auto or Manual mode, Zoom Framing Assist helps keep your subject in the frame._Intelligent IS automatically chooses from four different modes to help optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition. 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 ideal for producing 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 incredibly steady close-up shots. Powered IS comes into play when you're using the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder's powerful zoom, correcting shake that can occur in telephoto shots. Tripod Mode stops IS when the camcorder is stationary._Audio Scene Select allows easy operation and setup for outstanding audio. Audio Scene Select on the VIXIA HF R700 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.

Audio settings can also be custom set to meet your shooting needs._Smart AUTO helps make shooting great videos easy by intelligently selecting the proper settings for the camcorder. Smart AUTO lets you capture clear, bright, well-focused video while the camcorder takes care of 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._Slow & Fast Motion recording allows you to record fast motion at up to 1200x and slow motion at 0.5x. You'll have fun using the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder's Slow & Fast Motion capabilities. You can record slow motion images at speeds down to 0.5x – a great feature for checking out your tennis swing, or creating videos with cinema-like expression. Fast motion now tops out at an amazing 1200x (recording 20 hours of action as a 1-minute scene), for eye-popping action movie-like effects._Five Cinema-Look Filter effects give video a cinematic feel and can be applied during or after shooting for your convenience. The VIXIA HF R700 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 Vivid – Accentuates primary colors for a bright, cheerful look Cool – Adds a bluish tint for cool, futuristic-looking scenes Sepia – Applies a sepia tint for an antique, faded look Old Movies – Gives video the aged look of old cinema_Highlight Priority Mode helps to deliver an expansive range of colors and tones virtually consistent with how they’re seen by the naked eye. To capture highly saturated, realistic colors and to convey gradation characteristics as perceived by the eye, the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder has a new Highlight Priority mode that achieves effects similar to HDR modes in other camcorders. By reducing the mid- to high-brightness compression of the standard gamma mode, the Highlight Priority mode helps to prevent loss of detail in high brightness areas. Designed for display on a bright LCD TV, videos captured in Highlight Priority mode should be shown at a high brightness setting to help ensure accurate portrayal of the effect._Main Unit Specs Standard Definition or High Definition High Definition Television System NTSC Video Recording system AVCHD/MPEG-4 Image Sensor 1/4.85-inch CMOS, RGB Primary Color Filter Total Pixels Approx. 3.28 Megapixels Effective Pixels Video: Approx. 2.07 Megapixels (1920 x 1080)Photo: Approx. 2.07 Megapixels (1920 x 1080) Maximum recording Time 32GB SD Memory Card in AVCHD:LP (1440 x 1080): 12 hrs. 15 min.FXP (1920 x 1080): 4 hrs. 10 min.MXP (1920 x 1080): 2 hrs. 55 min.NTSC 60p (1920 x 1080): 2 hrs. 30 min.32GB SD Memory Card in MP4: 4 Mbps (1280 x 720): 17 hrs. 20 min.17 Mbps (1920 x 1080): 4 hrs. 10 min.24 Mbps (1920 x 1080): 2 hrs. 55 min.35 Mbps (1920 x 1080): 2 hrs.
