Most manufacturers don’t even bother to include a disc, but the HR10 is ready to roll right out of the box. Although this is a great start, you’ll need a mound of DVD discs and a backup battery to last a full day. If you own an HD television with an HDMI input, you might want to spring for an HDMI cable.

Other Features (6.0)
Quick Start- When Quick Start is engaged, the HR10 can be powered off and then powered right back on with all settings saved by the press of a button. The camcorder remains in a low power Standby mode while powered off.

Video Light - The HR10’s video light is just like the rest of Canon’s video lights — a mini bluish spotlight. Use it for odd effects, but don’t count on adequate lighting.

Digital Effects - The HR10 is equipped with some fun digital stocking stuffers that consist of two fades (Fade-T and Wipe) and three digital picture effects (Black and White, Sepia, and Art, which is just a nifty posterize filter).

Auto Slow Shutter- When Auto Slow Shutter is turned on, the HR10 automatically adjusts the shutter speed to compensate for dark shooting environments. The shutter will drop to as low as 1/30 in 60i, 1/12 in 24P, and 1/15 in Camera mode.
