Canon's Optura 30 Digital Camcorder deliver the ultimate in picture quality with the unbeatable style and performance of a professional level camcorder... without the professional level price. It's all thanks to DV Photo Plus, Canon's one-of-a-kind system for achieving premium image quality. Experience the freedom of shooting, editing, printing and sharing stunning photos and videos with an Optura 30 camcorder. Take incredible video and photos wherever life takes you. Jam-packed full of features normally reserved for higher-end professional cameras, the Optura 30 camcorder gives you the versatility and power to capture life's one-of-a-kind moments, and to then share those moments with family and friends with the press of a button. Shoot, process, and share images as never before - Enjoy stunning, life-like videos and photos with your Canon Megapixel camcorder thanks to DV Photo Plus. A combination of four advanced Canon technologies, DV Photo Plus gives superior clarity and brilliant color to every shot you take. Canon's Megapixel CCD - True color and the finest detail are found in every shot processed by Canon's Megapixel CCD. The CCD works like film- when light hits it, it registers an image; advanced processing then converts the pixels into digital data creating your video or stills. So whether you are right next to your subject or 500 feet away, you get crisp images with life-like detail that you can view on your computer or TV, or even make a print for your whole family. Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV - Enjoying the best of both video and photo worlds with a single camcorder is now possible thanks to our exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing circuit. Since video and digital photos have different color requirements, DIGIC DV utilizes two different color techniques to maximize video quality on a TV and still image quality for print or computer display. Experience the freedom of DIGIC DV and leave the camera juggling behind. 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. Effortlessly print and share your images - Part of Canon's DV Photo Plus advantage, the Optura 30 can connect directly to any Canon CP-series Photo Printer or Canon Bubble Jet Direct Printer... without the need of a computer! Simply use the supplied USB cable to connect your camcorder with the printer and, in an instant, the Optura's Print & Share button will light up blue letting you know that you can begin printing simply by pressing it once. For added control, the Horizontal & Vertical Trimming Function, Photo Review Function and other still image features allow you to make your edits directly in the camcorder, resulting in the perfect print every time. You can also connect directly to other PictBridge compatible printers, and because the camcorder tags each photo you take with information based on Exif 2.2 Print standards, poor lighting and mistakes can be corrected automatically by the printer. Print & Share is one of the ways Canon's DV Photo Plus brings you quality images. Our experience is the key to delivering your memories just the way you remember them. Shoot like a pro with Genuine Canon Optics - When it comes to preserving those special once-in-a-lifetime moments, you can trust Canon's superior optics to catch every nuance. Our camcorder lenses feature the same distinguished quality found in lenses for 35mm cameras and broadcast TV cameras. That's why professionals and consumers alike have trusted the name Canon to capture all of life's most vivid moments. 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! Enjoy stunning video and photos - The secret behind the Optura 30 camcorder's incredible video and photos is Canon's DIGIC DV technology. Since videos and photos have different color requirements, DIGIC DV uses special color optimization techniques when processing an image for output to a TV or printer. The result is accurate, life-like color reproduction in all your videos and photos. Simultaneous Photo Recording - For the true multi-tasker, the Optura 30 camcorder also allows you to capture e-mail-ready photos (640x480 pixels) onto the memory card while simultaneously recording video to DV tape. No more fumbling with two different digital cameras! The VIC Chip - Dubbed The Virtual Powerhouse, Canon's VIC processor effortlessly handles all of the camcorder's input and output functions, giving you seamless connectivity whether connected to a TV, computer or VCR. Dazzle on-lookers with vibrant color shots - Now you can relive those precious moments with all their true vibrant colors. While traditional camcorders process color with a standard CMYG filter (resulting in duller colors), the Optura 30 uses Canon's RGB Primary Color Filter, which separates light passing through the lens into their true red, green and blue color components. The result is professional-quality images that deliver natural-looking tones and superior color rendition. Catch all the action without the shake - Life rarely sits still for a shot, that'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-inch LCD and Color Viewfinder further helps to compose sensational shots from any angle. 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. You can then quickly and easily transfer your movies to your computer using the USB cable. Get hands-on with your shots - The Optura 30 camcorder 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 center of the frame, you can also choose from three Auto Focus Frames to keep them in sharp focus. Still enjoy a little guidance now and then? The Optura also features Pre-programmed AutoExposure settings, perfect for fast-action, portrait and landscape shots. 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, making sure you won't miss a beat. 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. Seamlessly connect anywhere... anytime - Now you can connect and transfer photos from your camcorder to a computer without the need for drivers or other software. The Optura's Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) makes it the perfect traveling companion; simply plug your camcorder into any computer running Windows XP or Mac OS X via the camcorder's USB 2.0 Terminal and a USB cable. IEEE 1394 DV Terminal - The Optura 30 also featurea an IEEE 1394 DV Terminal (Firewire, iLink) that allows you to maintain your high video and audio quality during duplication or editing, in addition to an Analog Line-in/Out with Analog/Digital Converter that allows you to easily transform your analog memories into digital in real-time. 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 camcorders feature a Network Mode that enables you to remotely control your camcorder through the DV Messenger2 software application.
