EFFECTIVE MOVIE PIXELS/EFFECTIVE STILL PIXELS
The light recording sensor in a camcorder is made up of
thousands of tiny pixels. The number of pixels a camcorder has
influences its ability to capture detail. Generally, the more pixels,
the finer the detail your digital video camera captures. Higher
resolutions translate into smoother, more even tones, cleaner
detail, and printed photos that can be enlarged to a greater
extent without a noticeable drop in image quality.

Using the Mini Video Light in dark conditions not only
brightens your footage – it helps bring out vibrant
colours and prevents the ’grainy’ effect of low light video.
NIGHT MODE/SUPER NIGHT MODE
You don’t want to be forced to stop shooting just because the
sun goes down. Which is why Canon digital video cameras
feature Night Mode. Night Mode lets more light into the
camcorder by slowing down the shutter, allowing you to capture
excellent quality and vivid colour footage – even in dim conditions
or while indoors. When it is pitch black, the Super Night Mode
comes on to light your scene and keep you recording.
With Super Night Mode
Night Mode is included in all
camcorders, while the following
models also have the more
advanced Super Night Mode:
The following is an easy guide to each camcorder’s CCD sensor resolution and
an explanation of how to translate this into stunning photo prints:
