New from Canon, the LEGRIA HF G26 is a Full HD camcorder that aims to fulfill the creative requirements of video aficionados while instilling confidence in their ability to record high-quality material. The lightweight and portable LEGRIA HF G26 has a 28.8mm wide-angle lens with 20x optical zoom, exceptional optics, the ability to operate in low-light conditions, and an 8-blade circular aperture, which can produce stunning circular bokeh effects.
Video Quality
The LEGRIA HF G26 has various innovative features, each ensuring accurate and high-quality shooting in even the most challenging environments. For example, the Intelligent Image Stabilizer (IS) corrects for movement along all five camera axes, which is essential for steady filming even when the subject is moving. Additionally, thanks to the Powered Image Stabilizer, it can record shake-free and smooth footage even when the issue is highly zoomed in.
The LEGRIA HF G26 has Instant Autofocus, allowing quick and accurate detection of the subject’s location and distance. This helps the camera support the clarity of Full HD. There has never been a simpler time to record video in full high definition (Full HD).
Users can switch between the Manual, Auto, and Cinema modes using the three-position switch. This does not need the users to change the various settings. The LEGRIA HF G26 allows for creative video recording from expansive views to extreme close-ups with up to 20x optical zoom. It can even catch distant scenes in beautiful Full HD clarity because of its ability to zoom in so far.
The LEGRIA HF G26 can record high-quality footage in Full HD 50p at 35Mbps by utilizing a Wide Dynamic Range of 600 percent, and Highlight Priority looks. This results in the film having an equitable distribution of tones and the ability to manage brightness regions. This results in stunning video footage that may be taken directly from the camera.
Incredible light sensitivity, contrast, and broad dynamic range are delivered by combining a 2.91-megapixel 1/2.84-type HD CMOS Pro sensor and a DIGIC DV4 CPU. Moreover, these benefits are paid without sacrificing the quality of Full 1080p HD.
This makes it possible for filmmakers to record footage in environments with a light level as low as 0.1 lux, which is perfect for video fans who want to record nocturnal documentaries. Similarly, the built-in ND Filter of the LEGRIA HF G26 helps prevent the camera from overexposing images when used in bright environments by decreasing the amount of light that reaches the sensor.

This allows for complete visibility when capturing footage, especially in bright conditions.
This is especially helpful for video fans who want to record footage in various lighting settings, such as traveling or filming in outdoor places.
