Experience the
Canon Difference: DV Photo Plus
Canon's DV Photo Plus achieves premium quality video
and photos by combining four features; Genuine Canon
Optics, a Mega Pixel CCD image sensor, Digic DV
image processor, and Print and Share. The moment you
watch video on a TV or hold a print in your hand,
the difference is clear. DV Photo Plus unleashes the
full digital imaging power of your Canon camcorder,
promising a superior level of clarity, color, and
excellence to video and photos.
Capture Life in
All Its Brilliant Color and Clarity
Preserve every hue of a summer sunset or backyard
garden thanks to the Elura 90's 1.33-megapixel image
sensor. The product of Canon ingenuity and
technological expertise, the image sensor achieves
high-resolution results whether recording video to
DV tape or still images onto a memory card. Photos
can be captured at a variety of different image
qualities and compression sizes
(Superfine/Fine/Normal) giving you the ability to
balance quantity with quality.
Get It All in
with True Widescreen Recording
Treat your family and friends to high-resolution
16:9 widescreen videos that are perfect on a
wide-screen home theatre system. Unlike some
camcorders that record a vertically stretched
picture, the Elura 90 uses the full width of its
Mega Pixel CCD. The result is a wide-screen picture
that has superior quality and shows more of the
action happening at either end of the screen.
See Farther with
Optical and Digital Zooms
The Elura 90 gives you the ability to zoom in on
hard to see details with its 20x optical zoom/400x
digital zoom lens. The result of Canon's vast
expertise in designing and crafting precision lenses
for 35mm and broadcast TV cameras, the
optical/digital zoom delivers superior imagery with
vibrant color and clarity. In addition, your Elura
90 kit includes a WA-34 Wide Attachment (0.7x),
giving you a wide perspective for indoor shots or
panoramic views.
SD Memory Card/MultiMediaCard
Slots
For convenient storage and portability of your still
images, the Elura 90 features a built-in slot for SD
(Secure Digital) Memory Cards and MultiMediaCards.
You can also store Motion JPEG mini-movies directly
on the removable card for later attaching to e-mails
or posting on the Web. Shoot in two different
resolutions, 320 x 240 or 160 x 120, for the full
duration of the SD Memory Card.
Keep It Simple
with Direct Print Features
The first camcorders to offer a Print/Share button,
the Elura series makes direct printing and
downloading images to a computer a quick, easy, and
enjoyable task. When the Elura 90 is connected to a
printer, the Print/Share button lights up blue,
letting you know that you can begin printing simply
by pressing it once. You can also transfer a photo
directly to your computer, with just a single press
of the button.
Light up the
Night with Vibrant Videos
For an even more intense lighting boost, switch on
the Elura 90's built-in mini video light, located on
the front of the camcorder. Exclusive to the Elura
90, the mini video light is three times brighter
than the white LED offered by the Elura 85, giving
you the ability to shoot in extreme low-light
situations.
One press of the Night Mode and the Elura 90 automatically selects a slow shutter speed and increases the sensitivity of the CCD to brighten up your subject, while still preserving color.
New to the Elura-series camcorders, the Elura 90 features a built-in flash so you can light up your subject when taking high-resolution digital photos.
Catch All the
Action Without the Shake
Shoot videos that look smooth, steady and natural...
even when shooting hand-held at full telephoto.
Working behind the scenes is Canon's high quality
Image Stabilization system, which is able to correct
camcorder shake instantly.
LCD Backlight
When shooting outdoors, the Elura 90's bright
2.5-inch LCD view screen features an LCD Backlight
button that boosts the displays brightness by 250%.
Now it's easier than ever to compose sensational
shots without having to squint into the viewfinder.
You can also rotate the screen for high-or low-angle
shots, or turn it around 180 to record yourself.
When you're done shooting, the screen is perfect for
reviewing your scenes.
Do More with
Bonus Software
The Elura Kit comes complete with bonus software for
image management and editing: ZoomBrowser EX
(Windows) and ImageBrowser (Macintosh). Download,
browse, archive, and retouch your photos, or have
your images automatically resized for e-mail. The
software also assists with arranging images for
printing and even adding text.
MiniDV Format
The MiniDV format offers more precise image detail
and color accuracy than previously possible with
analog camcorders. The superior quality of digital
video results from:
- Higher Resolution: Up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution, on select models for sharper picture detail
- CompOnent Color Sampling: Preserves three times more color information than analog VHS and S-VHS video, for brighter and truer colors
- Time Base Correction: Stabilizes the picture, eliminating video jitters
- Error Correction: Fills in missing video data, providing seamless, professional-looking video
