Canon's Optura 40 Mini
DV 2.2-megapixel camcorder�¢����unites the worlds of digital video &
digital photography using DV Photo Plus technology. The versatile camcorder
optimizes natural color quality, enhances low light image capture & provides
a powerful array of Canon's digital camera "can do's.
Whether capturing�¢����even simultaneously�¢����the magical
motion of exhilarating events or the deep emotion of a moment frozen in
time, the Optura 40 DV combines such innovative Canon video capabilities as
an RGB Primary Color Filter for superior color rendition, improved audio
processing for crisp, clean sound recording, a high res "true" 16:9
widescreen mode along with many of the most sought after digital still
camera features including a built-in automatic flash, selectable focus
points, auto exposure bracketing, continuous shooting for up to 5 frames per
second, streamlined downloading with the print/share button and PictBridge
printer compatibility.
The Optura 40 features a 14x Optical Zoom/280x Digital Zoom, a Manual Audio
Level, Canon's Super Night Mode/Night Plus functions, as well as Canon's
Image Stabilizer that instantly reduces camcorder Control even when the user
is shooting handheld with the zoom fully extended. Among the camcorders'
other top-tier video functions are the new Advanced Color Control System
that optimizes color according to the shooting situations and an RGB Primary
Color Filter that separates light passing through the lens into red, green
and blue colo r components in much the same way as professional camcorders
process color, yielding truer more natural looking colors. What's more the
camcorders' High Resolution 16:9 Widescreen mode utilizes the entire width
of the CCD retaining imagequality and providing a wider horizontal angle of
view that is ideal for widescreen TVs.
Low light shooting capabilities are also enhanced thanks to Canon's new low
noise signal processing IC & a user selectable Auto Slow Shutter setting.
The camcorder supports the Picture Transfer Protocol that enables data
transfer with a Windows XP or Mac OS X(10.1) without installing dedicated
driver software. This direct link enables the computer to access the
camcorder as if it was an external card reader. Program AE settings for easy
optimal results. Settings offered are: EasyRecording, Full Auto, Sports,
Portrait, Spotlight, Sand & Snow, Low light and Night.
