Canon LEGRIA HF R706 is the youngest model in the line of entry-level camcorders from the eminent Japanese manufacturer of photo and video equipment. More advanced versions of the camera are Canon LEGRIA HF R76 and Canon LEGRIA HF R78 camcorders.
Differences
The camcorder differs from its counterparts in the absence of wireless modules and built-in memory. However, the last nuance is not so important, since for long-term video shooting you still need to get an SD memory card. The types of these data carriers, as well as their speed characteristics, are described in detail in the material “How to choose an SD and microSD memory card”.
Ergonomics
The body of the camcorder is designed for right hand grip. But for left-handed people, it will be inconvenient to hold it in their hand, as well as to use all the functions of the camcorder. To get started, you just need to open the camera screen and press the record button. Changing the shooting parameters is carried out using the touch screen, zooming — with special rockers. By the way, the optical zoom ratio of the model is 32x, and together with the proprietary advanced zoom technology, it increases to an impressive 57x. In everyday use, these numbers are enough to shoot absolutely all scenes.
effects
The camera can focus on the subject from a distance of 1 cm. Together with the high aperture of the lens (f / 1.8 at the wide end), it becomes possible to effectively blur the background. You can also influence the picture by adding a variety of visual effects (dynamic stamps and drawing) or slow down (2 times) and speed up the video (2, 4, 10, 20, 60, 120 and even 1200 times).
Family acquisition
When shooting in the dark, digital noise inevitably appears in the picture, and at the maximum zoom positions it can be spoiled by distortion. Therefore , the camera performs best in daylight and medium zoom. It will be a great family purchase for those who want a simple camera without unnecessary bells and whistles at a low cost.
