Canon expands its range of mini DV
camcorders with new additions to the family. The new Canon MD245
camcorder introduces Canon's new powerful Advanced Zoom that
combines the quality of a genuine Canon video lens with the power of
Canon's proprietary DIGIC DV processor that results in 45x
magnification.
"With the upward trend of filmmaking
and home video, users are looking for quality camcorders that are
easy to use." says Andrew Koh, Director and General Manager of the
Consumer Imaging and Information Division at Canon Singapore.
"Canon's new range of mini DV camcorders offers something for
everyone and makes a better video so much easier to create; allowing
them to share their stories and preserve those precious memories."

Salient Features of Canon MD245 Mini DV Video Camera
Advanced Zoom
Benefit from a 45x Advanced Zoom. The unique combination of genuine
Canon optics and powerful DIGIC DV processing now offers extended
magnification – even distant shooting subjects are captured in crisp
detail. An Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) helps to ensure steady
footage.

True widescreen
Your home movies are recorded in eye-catching 16:9, allowing you to
get the most out of your widescreen TV set. During shooting the 2.7"
widescreen LCD and 16:9 widescreen colour EVF (Electronic
Viewfinder) help you compose your movies in the correct dimensions.
Use the LCD to share the view whilst shooting, or choose to use the
EVF to save on battery power.
Quick Start
With just one push of the dedicated Quick Start button, the
camcorder powers up almost instantly from Standby mode. Never miss a
moment of the action.
Intuitive Joystick controller
Situated on the frame of the LCD screen, a Joystick makes it easy to
operate all of the camcorder’s key controls. To access more advanced
features, simply use the Joystick to navigate menus displayed on the
LCD screen.
Vivid colours
Record colours in full, vivid colour with the power of DIGIC DV
processing. DIGIC DV, unique to Canon camcorders, optimises the
colours in the images you shoot, ensuring that they appear vibrant
and true-to-life.

LCD video light
When turned to face forwards, the camcorder’s LCD screen doubles as
a convenient video light. It lights up close subjects when shooting
in poorly lit conditions.
Making it Easy
The camcorder features a one-push Easy mode that allows beginners to
get shooting straightaway. Switching all of the camcorder’s key
settings to automatic, it allows you to concentrate on what you are
filming. For more advanced users, a full range of Program AE modes
is available.
