CANON DIGITAL OPTURA 30
Features
Introducing Canon's DV Photo Plus
DV Photo Plus unleashes the full digital imaging power of your Canon Megapixel camcorder, promising a superior level of clarity, colour and excellence for video and photos.

Genuine Canon Optics
Canon MiniDV camcorders feature high-precision lenses designed specifically for their use. Each camcorder has a unique lens that matches its CCD for optimal quality. Our camcorder lenses feature the same distinguished quality found in 35mm cameras and broadcast TV cameras. That's why professionals and consumers alike have trusted the name Canon to preserve moments as vivid as the actual experience.

Canon's Megapixel CCD
Canon's Megapixel CCD Image Sensor delivers crisp images with life-like detail. Whether you are shooting video or photos with the camcorder, you will get the best results. The CCD works like film -- when light is captured by the sensor, it registers an image and advanced processing converts the pixels into digital data creating your video or photos.

Get the full picture on your wide-screen TV
Unlike camcorders which only record a vertically stretched picture, the Optura 30 features a High-Resolution 16:9 Mode that records video in true 16:9 ("letterbox") format for playback on wide-screen TVs. When shooting in the 16:9 Mode, the entire width of the 2.2 Megapixel CCD image sensor is used to capture your footage. The result is wide-screen quality videos that are certain to impress even the biggest "big screen" fan.

Shoot like a pro with Genuine Canon Optics
Whether shooting up-close or from a distance, the Optura 30 camcorder delivers video and photos with exceptional definition and contrast, making every shot you take a potential award-winner. Featuring Genuine Canon Optics, the Optura 30 combines a powerful 12x Optical Zoom with a 240x Digital Zoom, and permits you to cover all the angles, be it wide or telephoto

Capture all the details with vivid clarity
Backed by a 2.2 Megapixel CCD image sensor, the Optura 30 camcorder enables you to capture crisp, vivid video and high-resolution photos. You can be confident the Megapixel sensor will capture all the details... even the ones you may not see!


Catch all the action without the shake
Life rarely sits still for a shot, which's why the Optura 30 features Canon's advanced Image Stabilization system. Now you can keep images smooth and steady, even at full telephoto and while panning or zooming. The large 2.5" LCD and Colour Viewfinder further helps to compose sensational shots from any angle.

Relive those special low light moments
From sleeping babies to the late-night antics of your favourite pet, now you can capture video and photos even in low light. With a press of the Night Mode button, the Optura 30 automatically select a slow shutter speed and increase the sensitivity of the CCD to brighten the image while preserving colour.

Take it from sight to website at a moment's notice
Thanks to the Optura's improved Motion JPEG feature, you can shoot video ready for streaming over the Internet or for e-mailing. The Motion JPEG Mode records your footage onto the Secure Digital memory card at 15 frames/second, giving you up to 60 minutes of recording time on a 512MB card.

Get hands-on with your shots
The Optura 30 is perfect for those digital video and photo enthusiasts who prefer to get hands-on with their shots... from the Manual Focusing Ring that allows you to fine-tune the focus (just like a traditional camera does), to the Auto-Exposure Bracketing feature that takes three photos with every press of the shutter (one under-exposed, one normal, and one over-exposed). For still shots where your subject is not in the centre of the frame, you can also choose from three Auto Focus Frames to keep them in sharp focus.

Continuous Shooting
You wouldn't feel like a true professional without a Continuous Shooting function. Take a rapid succession of photos of your fast-moving subject in the blink of an eye. The high-speed mode can capture up to 10 consecutive shots at 3 frame/second and store them automatically on the SD/Multimedia Card

Make incredible panoramas and portraits
The Optura line of camcorders gives you the power to edit your still images in a variety of exciting ways. The Stitch Assist feature allows you to capture and create breathtaking 360-degree panoramas, while the Skin Detail Mode helps you take complimentary close-ups of people by softening details and reducing skin imperfections.

SD/Multimedia Card
For portable storage versatility, the Optura can accommodate either a Secure Digital (SD) memory card or a MultiMediaCard. Store up to 512 MB worth of photos with resolutions up to 1280 x 960.

Turn your camcorder into a webcam
Exclusive to Canon, the Optura 30 features a Network Mode that enables you to remotely control your camcorder through the DV Messenger2 software application. Control the focus and zoom of your camcorder from a computer while streaming the video via its IEEE 1394 terminal.

Explore your creativity with supplied software
Included in your Optura Kit are Pinnacle Studio 9SE and Pinnacle Instant Photo Album, two powerful editing programs that can help turn your videos and photos into lasting memories.

Pinnacle Studio 9SE
Pinnacle Studio gives you every tool you need to easily capture video to your computer, edit footage, add titles, music, narration and special effects and then output the finished movie back to videotape, DVD or the web.

Pinnacle Instant Album
Pinnacle Instant Album can help you quickly organize your digital photos and video clips into interactive, high-resolution slideshows that can then be burned onto CD and DVD or watched on your TV with Instant PhotoAlbum. Instant PhotoAlbum quickly turns your photos into exciting productions that you can share and enjoy with friends and family for years to come.
