Description
Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing circuit processes video and
still images differently, so as not to compromise the quality of your
video or digitalphotography. The two signals have different color requirements
and DIGIC DV technology processes the two signals accordingly, giving
you uncompromised results.
That means video images that are maximized for viewing on TV, and digital photographs that look brilliant on computer displays or as prints. DIGICDV is just one of Canon's DV Photo Plus technologies that help to unleash the performance potential of the Optura 50.
Part of every Canon product are Genuine Canon Optics, and the Optura 50 is no exception. You get the same clarity, brilliance and vivid color that advanced amateurs and professionals have come to expect from the Genuine Canon Optics in 35mm film cameras and broadcast TV cameras. Genuine Canon Optics is just one of the DV Photo Plus technologies that make the Optura 50 such a stand-out performer.
The Optura 50 comes with a 10X optical zoom which is enhanced by the camcorder's200X digital zoom, giving you an impressive zoom range found on more expensive cameras.
One of the reasons the Optura 50 delivers stunningly vivid and sharp video and still (1632 X 1224) images is its 2.2 Megapixel CCD. It's one of the DV Photo Plus technologies that ensure outstanding results.
In the Optura 50, this performance is combined with Canon's advanced RGB PrimaryColor Filter. Other camcorders process color using a standard CMYG filter, resulting in duller colors.
Canon's RGB filter separates light into its red, green and blue components, resulting in professional-quality images with natural-looking tones and vivid hues. Together, the 2.2 Megapixel CCD and RGB color filter deliver uncompromisingly brilliant results.
Print & Share, one of the powerful Canon DV Photo Plus technologies, makes possible downloading and printing in a snap. Print & Share does just that, with the touch of a single button, you can print digital photographs from your Optura camcorder.
Print directly to a Canon CP-series Photo Printer or Canon Bubble Jet Direct printer (or any Pictbridge-compatible printer). Simply connect your Optura camcorder to your printer using the supplied USB cable (USB 2.0 Full Speed). Wait for the button to light up, press it, and you've got a print to share with family and friends.
You can get the help you need for the perfect video or photo. The Optura 50 gives you different settings that automatically give youthe best exposure settings for different conditions, OR gives you control so you get the exact image you're after.
Shooting Modes include 6 new Scene Modes: Foliage, Fireworks, Beach, Snow, Sunset and Spotlight. Each adjusts your camcorder's settings to compensate for different lighting conditions and different subjects.
