This camcorder can also take still images with an amazing resolution of about 8 MP. There are also features such as face detection, dual shot and also a built-in flash.

There is another feature called Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization that provides picture perfect images and also improves the quality of picture taken. It also doesn’t let the picture blur due to unsteady shots taken by the user. The Canon Legria HF-S11 camcorder comes with an instant Autofocus or AF.
