Putting fun into home movie makingSymbol Guide

Whether it’s your child’s first steps or weekend fun with friends, the best action

is often unpredictable – which is why Canon’s straight-to-DVD recording can be

so much fun.

Simply pick up and start shooting, and your Canon DVD
digital video camera looks after the rest. Rendering rich,
vibrant colours just the way you remember them, a powerful
DIGIC DV processor uses true split-path processing to
write superb quality video and stills to the next available
space on the disc.
Once you’ve captured that golden memory, hilarious
performance or embarrassing moment, thumbnails of every
scene let you see at a glance which footage you wish to share
– or quickly delete. Favourite scenes and digital stills can be
grouped into specially created playlists – all without having to
hook up to a PC.
With seriously advanced digital still camera functions, you’ll
be taking plenty of superb quality photos. And because
you can store thousands of high quality photos to each DVD,
you’ll never be worried about filling memory cards.
When the shooting is over, simply finalise the disc in-camera
before slipping it directly into your home cinema’s DVD player
to re-live and share those great moments.
