Feel confident with a Canon 4K sensor
A 4K camera with sensor and DIGIC DV6 image processor delivers crisp and clear UHD images for 4K TVs, while an 8-blade aperture provides cinema-style out-of-focus images. Compose the image with the 3.5" LCD screen or hold the camera to your eye and use the built-in electronic viewfinder.
Take creative control
Add impact to your movies with dynamic wide shots and close-ups captured with the powerful 20x optical zoom and advanced image stabilization. Customize the camera with five assignable buttons and use the built-in ND filters to adjust exposure for wider apertures or slower shutter speeds.
Fast, accurate focusing with face recognition
The LEGRIA HF G70 features an advanced Hybrid AF system with adjustable focus speed for fast or smooth autofocus. Use the 3.5-inch LCD screen to set the focus by simply touching the AF point you need. For even greater accuracy and convenience, especially in busy environments where you need to keep a subject in the frame, autofocus with Face Recognition and Face Tracking is available, while manual focus can be achieved via the control ring on the lens.
MP4 recording
The LEGRIA HF G70 supports MP4 for playback on a compatible TV. It can also record in 4K UHD 150 Mbit/s at 25P, and Full HD 35 Mbit/s or 17 Mbit/s at 50P/25P.
