The Canon PowerShot V10 combines video and still photography in a compact camera designed for creating content on the move. It draws on components from Canon’s G-Series cameras and brings together stereo audio capture, a built-in stand, and live streaming in a body that can be operated with one hand.
Its pocketable shape is easy to hold while filming. A straightforward menu system, one-button recording, and nearly instant startup help you begin recording quickly rather than spending time navigating controls.
The integrated stand tilts the camera forward or backward by 30 degrees, making it useful for tabletop presentations or pointing down toward food preparation. It gives you a way to position the camera for hands-free recording without holding it throughout the shot.
For additional shooting flexibility, the camera reorients video when held upside down by its handle. It also works with a conventional tripod or Canon’s HG-100TBR Tripod Grip.
Two large stereo microphones capture your voice, while a third microphone helps reduce unwanted sound. This built-in audio arrangement lets you record without needing to attach a lavalier microphone to your clothing or carry a bulky microphone.
The fixed wide-angle lens offers a 19mm view in 35mm-equivalent terms for video. Its broad framing helps fit you and other people into the shot while allowing you to hold the camera closer, rather than keeping your arm fully extended during self-recording.
A 1-inch CMOS sensor supports shooting in low light, and built-in subject detection helps keep your face focused and well exposed. The camera also provides image stabilization, exposure control, Movie auto level, and a smooth skin movie mode for refining your footage.
- - Record in 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) or Full HD (1920 x 1080).
- Switch from the default horizontal framing to vertical video by turning the camera on its side; the aspect ratio changes automatically.
Choose from 14 built-in color filters to change the mood of a scene. An automatic neutral-density filter reduces brightness without changing the appearance of colors, helping the camera avoid very fast shutter speeds that can make motion look unnaturally abrupt.
The V10 also captures still photographs for behind-the-scenes coverage. Its high-sensitivity 15.2-megapixel, 1-inch CMOS sensor works with Auto Photo mode, which is equivalent to A+ Scene Intelligent Auto.
- - Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support convenient sharing.
- A flip-up touchscreen LCD helps with framing and selfie shots.
