DV Format
Mini DV is the new preferred format for personal and broadcast-quality
video, highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to
500 lines of horizontal resolution and minimum color noise, Mini DV
delivers a 20% clearer picture than analog
camcorder formats. All this, in a handy,
super-compact cassette.
10x Optical Zoom Lens (40-200x Digital Zoom)
What sets a Canon camcorder apart from all the others? It’s the only
camcorder made by a company renowned for high-quality professional
optics. Our vast expertise in designing and crafting precision lenses for
35mm and broadcast TV cameras also goes into every camcorder lens we
make. The Elura 40MC’s 10x optical zoom lens delivers superb definition and
contrast, taking full advantage of the DV format. The digital zoom extends the
camcorder’s magnification from 40 to an incredible 200x, revealing details
too small to see with the naked eye.
Image Stabilizer
The ideal companion for the Elura 40MC’s impressive zoom capability,
the advanced image stabilization system instantly compensates for
“camera shake” caused by unsteady hands, giving you smooth, stable
pictures even for extreme close-ups, without a tripod.
Wrap your hand around the new Canon Elura 40MC.
