Perfect for Young Families

The Canon Legria HF R706 is the perfect digital video camera for families young and old. Its High Definition CMOS sensor is combined with a powerful 32x optical zoom to create a versatile camcorder in a compact and lightweight form factor.

Not only useful for travel, the R 706 features a Baby Mode which makes it easy for parents and young families to keep track of their kids important milestones.

CMOS Sensor + DIGIC DV4 Image Processor

Razor sharp Full High Definition video is delivered via a 3.28 megapixel sensor. The High-Sensitivity CMOS chip is combined with a powerful DIGIC DV4 imaging processor to produce detail-rich photos and videos with vibrant, true-to-life colour reproduction.

Versatile 32x Optical Zoom Lens

The powerful lens features an impressive 32x optical zoom range which can be digitally enhanced to 57x for maximum shooting versatility. It is combined with Canon’s impressive Intelligent IS image stabilisation technology to deliver silky smooth footage even when shooting at the maximum zoom magnification.

Advanced Subject & Motion Tracking

A built-in function called Zoom Framing Assist will help ensure your subject is always the main focus of your lens. Ideal for fast moving action such as sports, it can track the movement of your subject and can automatically pan out to help you relocate your subject before zooming in again.

Face Detection Technology

Built-in Face Detection technology helps to ensure your friends and family members are always looking their best and brightest. It simplifies the shooting process, allowing you to concentrate on capturing the essence of the story rather than worry about camera settings.

Automatic Scene Detection Mode

The DV4 processor also delivers intelligent scene detection capabilities. When shooting in the Smart Auto mode, the camera can recognise one of 38 unique scenes and adjust your shooting settings automatically to give you picture perfect results, every time. Alternatively you can manually select your scene from a list of common situations including portraits, sports, snow, beach, sunset, night and more.

Slow Motion + Fast Motion Special Effects

Other features such as slow and fast motion recording allow you to shoot at half speed to slow down motion by 50% or ramp up to 1200x which condenses lengthy footage to create memorable time-lapse style effects and help keep your movies fresh and exciting.

Baby Mode - Great for Young Families or Grandparents

For new parents enabling the Baby Mode makes it quick and easy to catalogue your child’s milestones. The camera automatically stores each video recorded under a child’s profile in an exclusive baby album which can be personalised with animations and stamps along with details such as birth date, weight, height, special dates and important milestones as the child grows up. Additionally, a file lock function is activated, allowing kids to watch their favourite moments in-camera without the risk of accidental deletion. Up to three children can be registered in Baby Mode to cater for larger families and delivers simple, stress-free file management.

3-Inch Flip-Out Touchscreen

The Canon Legria HFR706 is capped off by a large 3-inch LCD touchscreen. Its articulating design allows the screen to be flipped and twisted for picture perfect self-portraits and easy high and low angle shooting, making it easy to capture memories that will last a lifetime.
