thrills the senses, stimulates the mind, and fills you with
boundless creativity. Color and clarity exceed your wildest expectations. Unrivaled performance, expert
design, and meticulous attention to even the smallest detail puts the OPTURA

VIC
Embracing the industry's latest and most sophisticated
technology, Canon 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.
MiniDV is the new preferred format for personal and
broadcast-quality video, highly regarded for its high audio
and image quality. With up to 540 lines of horizontal
resolution and minimum color noise, MiniDV delivers a 20%
clearer picture than analog camcorder formats. All this, in a
handy, super-compact cassette.
DIGIC DV
DIGIC DV is a system for achieving superior
video and photographic images. Canon's
expertise in imaging and electronics is
flawlessly blended together, resulting in
outstanding performance. It offers substantial benefits in color
reproduction. DIGIC DV makes it possible to achieve accurate
color for both video and digital photos. Since video and 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.
RGB Primary Color Filter
In addition to achieving higher resolution, the OPTURA ’s 2.0
Megapixel CCD integrates an RGB Primary Color Filter which
separates light passing through the lens into individual red,
green and blue color components, similar to professional
camcorders. As a result, the OPTURA achieves more
accurate color reproduction with finer gradations than
models using a conventional complementary color
filter. The difference is especially noticeable, for
instance, in skin tones and scenes with a dominant
color such as sunsets, a ski slope or a forest.
