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, color and excellence for video and photos.

Spoil yourself with brilliant color and clarity
The new line of Elura camcorders combines refined design sensibilities with the best in Canon technology. Featuring a 1.33 Megapixel Image Sensor, the camcorders deliver images with brilliant color and clarity. Photos can be captured at a variety of different image qualities and compression sizes (Superfine/ Fine/Normal) giving you the ability to balance quantity with quality.

Shoot video and photos without interruption
No more struggling to switch your camcorder between video- and photo-taking modes. With the new line of Elura camcorders, you can capture e-mail ready (640 x 480) photos to the memory card while simultaneously recording high-quality video to the tape. You won't miss a minute of the memories you want to capture.

Zoom in on superior images
With an Elura camcorder in your hand, you have image-making power designed by a company renowned for high-quality professional optics. The Genuine Canon Optics found in every Elura camcorder is the result of Canon's vast expertise in designing and crafting precision lenses for 35mm and broadcast TV cameras. The Elura 65 offers 16x optical zoom lens, and 320x digital zoom, taking full advantage of the DV format.

Catch all the action without the shake
Thanks to the Elura's high quality Image Stabilization system, your videos will always look smooth, steady and natural... even when shooting hand-held at full telephoto. In addition, the bright 2.5" LCD view screen makes it easy to compose sensational shots without having to squint into the viewfinder. You can rotate the screen for high-or low-angle shots, or turn it around 180 to record yourself. When you're done shooting, the screen is perfect for reviewing your scenes.

Print and transfer images with ease
The first camcorders to offer a Print/Share button, the Elura makes direct printing and downloading images to a computer a quick, easy and enjoyable task. When the Elura camcorder is connected to a printer, the Print/Share button lights up blue, letting you know that you can begin printing simply by pressing it once. You can also transfer a photo directly to your computer, with just a single press of the button.

Shoot close-ups they'll love
When shooting close-ups of people, the Elura-series camcorders utilize a Skin Detail Function to automatically soften details. The result is a more complimentary appearance that will keep your subjects coming back. And for those moments when your subject is not in the centre of the frame, the Elura camcorders offer three focusing points that will automatically put your desired subject into sharp focus.

Relive those low-light moments
Thanks to the Elura's Night Mode feature, you can easily capture low-light images with the press of a button. Night Mode automatically selects a slow shutter speed and increases the sensitivity of the CCD to brighten up the image, while still preserving color. With Night Mode, what you record is closer to what your eye sees.

Seamlessly connect to your computer, TV or VCR
Embracing the industry's latest and most sophisticated technology, Canon's Elura camcorders feature an exclusive connection circuit called VIC. VIC is a virtual powerhouse. Traditionally, multiple chips were needed to perform the camcorder's input and output functions. However VIC manages it all with one single chip. The result is seamless connectivity whether you are connecting to a computer, TV, or VCR.

	USB Terminal The USB Terminal also allows high-speed transfer of images from your SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard to your computer. By using the USB cable and software provided, you can process and organize your images on your PC.

Enjoy wide-screen images
With the Elura 65, you can record high-resolution video in 16:9 format for playback on wide-screen TVs. Unlike systems that record a vertically stretched picture, the Elura 65 uses the full width of the CCD, resulting in a wide-screen picture that has higher quality and shows more of the action happening at either end of the screen.

Take continuous shots at the press of a button

Multi-image Screen You can divide your screen into four, nine or sixteen pictures with the Image Capture function.

With the Elura's improved Continuous Shooting Mode, you can capture a rapid succession of digital photos to the memory card just like a camera's motor drive. Shoot 3 images/second at 1280x360 resolution, and an incredible 5 images/second at 640x480 resolution. It's the perfect feature for times when the action's happening fast and you don't want to miss a single moment.

Make mini movies at a moment's notice
With the Elura's improved Motion JPEG feature, you can record short movie clips in 320 x 240 or 160 x 120 for the full length of the SD Memory Card. Afterwards, quickly transfer your mini movie to a computer and attach it to an e-mail or post it on the web.

Get creative with the supplied software
The Elura Kit includes software for image management and editing: ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Macintosh) which let you easily download, browse, archive, and retouch your photos. It will even automatically resize images and allow you to attach them to e-mail, arrange them for printing, and add text.

Take control of your creativity
The Elura-series camcorders will have you shooting like a pro, thanks to the pre-programmed auto exposure modes (Auto, Sports, Portrait, Spotlight, Sand & Snow and Low Light mode). Each mode is carefully designed to give you the best possible image results under special shooting conditions. More experienced users will also appreciate the manual focus, exposure level, white balance, and shutter speed controls.

Faders and Special Effects The Elura camcorders come complete with a wide selection of faders and special effects that can add visual appeal and greater imaging variety. Choose from Fade Trigger, Wipe, Corner, Jump, Flip, Puzzle, Zigzag, Beam and Tide. For a more creative look, you can switch on the following digital effects during recording or playback: Art, Black & White, Sepia, Mosaic, Ball, Cube, Wave, Color Mask or Mirror.

Personalize your Elura camcorder
Want to truly set your camcorder apart from the pack? Personalize your camcorder by customizing the start-up image and camcorder operation sounds. With an Elura camcorder, you can choose a start-up image from the included software CD or use your own digital recordings. In addition, the camcorder offers a multi-language display of information in the LCD or Viewfinder, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese.
