Both models support a range of shooting modes, including Night Mode, which is particularly effective for low-light environments, and Sports Mode for capturing fast-paced action. Additionally, the built-in image stabilization technology plays a crucial role in producing smooth footage, reducing the shakiness that can occur during handheld filming.

Another key feature of the Elura series is its connectivity options. The camcorders come equipped with USB and FireWire ports, making it easy to transfer footage to a computer for editing or sharing.
