Record hands-free with the new Canon Legria Mini

Designed for low-complex recording environments, the camera has different selectable scenes and an advanced audio capture system.

Canon has presented at CES 2014 an improvement to its “hands-free camera”, the Legria Mini. Among other improvements, the new Mini X incorporates a larger stereo microphone with audio volume control using a wheel on the side. Designed to reduce ambient noise, this equipment allows adjustments to be made in the directionality, frequency response and attenuation of the microphone. One of the advantages now is that it is possible to directly mix the volume of the external microphone with the internal one.

Audio is saved in two-channel MPEG-4AAC-LC format or, in AVCHD recording mode, in LPCM for 24 mbps AVCHD and two-channel Dolby Digital for 17 mbps AVCHD.

Designed for low-complex recording environments, the camera has different selectable scenes such as conferences, sports, nature... that adapt the different parameters automatically.
Its 2.7-inch touch screen offers great flexibility for shots from all angles without image distortion with a resolution of 230,000 pixels. The image sensor is a 1/2.3-inch, back-illuminated, high-sensitivity CMOS.

Incorpora un procesador DIGIC DV 4 con tecnología de detección de rostros. El objetivo con una apertura f2.8 equivaldría a un 15,4 mm en fotografía de 35 mm, cubriendo entre 150 y 160 grados para vídeos. Graba los vídeos en AVCHD de hasta 1080/50i o también en MP4 de hasta 1080/25p.

Dispone de una salida de vídeo HDMI, un puerto USB 2.0 con conector de tipo mini-B, un a salida para auriculares y una entrada para micrófono externo. Su baterúa, en iones de litio, ofrece una autonomía de hasta dos horas y media.
