Unique features exclusive to
the MV450(i)
Extended Recording
The MV450(i) includes a unique extended recording function that substantially
increases the length of recording time per cassette and prevents the running out
of tape at critical shooting moments. To achieve extended recording, 2x greater image
data compression is applied in the ESP mode and 3x in the ELP mode. In ELP mode,
an 80-minute DV tape will record 4 hours of video footage, 3 times longer than in
Standard mode.
Advanced Accessory Shoe
With the Advanced Accessory Shoe, optional accessories can be mounted on the
MV450(i). Once mounted, the shoe is capable of exchanging data and supplying power
directly to all accessories with which it is compatible. The compatible optional
accessories include the Video light VL-3 and the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-50,
providing users with the ability to enhance both picture and sound quality.
Illuminated operating keys
Adding to the unique and stylish design of the MV450(i), the camera control keys
positioned above the LCD view screen can be illuminated, therefore facilitating operation
in low-lit environments. Users have the possibility to further customise this feature
with a choice of the illumination colours: blue, green and turquoise.
Multi-image Screen
The MV450(i) includes a multi-image screen, which allows images to be played
back on the LCD panel divided into 4,9 or 16 separate screens. Alternatively the
camera can display a series of images in sequence. To select the images to be displayed,
users can either make a manual choice or use one of the preprogrammed transition
speeds: fast, moderate or slow.
New long-lasting battery pack - BP-535
Canon has also displayed its new bigger battery option - with the introduction
of its BP-535. Providing users with the capability to record for 9hr. 30min without
recharging.
