Compact 10x optical zoom lens
& Image Stabilizer (200x Digital Zoom)
Featuring 540,000-pixel, Canon's image stabilizer and optical 10x zoom lens,
the MV400 series camcorders are ideal for advanced camcorder enthusiasts and users
who demand a high level of image and colour resolution. Equipped with a small 10x
optical lens, the zoom range of the MV400 series camcorders can be digitally extended
to 200x - equivalent to a zoom range of 48mm to 9600mm (optical.480mm) in
35mm film format
Flexible LCD Monitor
A high-resolution, 2.5-inch LCD monitor is mounted on the side of the camcorder,
giving clear and sharp images. The LCD monitor can be moved to a variety of positions
for shooting and playback of recordings, and its information display gives details
such as zoom position, battery level and tape remaining. The monitor turns and flips
for maximum handling comfort and flexibility tucking conveniently away when bright
conditions make the eyecup viewfinder a more desirable shooting method.
Programmed Auto Exposure (AE)
Outstanding video results are possible even during challenging conditions. By
selecting the shooting mode that best suits the scene, each MV400 model adjusts internal
controls to create the perfect video each time. Mode choices are Auto, Sports, Portrait,
Spotlight, Sand and Snow, and Low Light.
AE shift is an additional feature that gives the shooter control over how light or
dark the camcorder sets the auto exposure level. The models have enhanced low light
capability with a 2 lux minimum illumination. For point-and-shoot simplicity, each
MV400 model also includes Canon's fully automatic Easy Green Mode, suitable for most
indoor/outdoor situations.
Audio dubbing
For those wanting to produce personalized films, the MV400 series camcorders
feature an Audio Dubbing function. With this it is possible to create or replace
commentary or music to footage, thereby enhancing or explaining the images.
