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.
