DIGIC DV
DIGIC DV is a system for achieving superior video and
photographic images. Canon's expertise in imaging and
electronics is flawlessly blended together, resulting in
outstanding performance. It offers substantial benefits in color
reproduction. DIGIC DV makes it possible to achieve accurate
color for both video and digital photos. Since
video and photos have different color
requirements, DIGIC DV utilizes two different color
techniques to maximize video quality on a TV and
still image quality for print or computer display.
VIC
Embracing the industry's latest and most sophisticated
technology, Canon camcorders feature an exclusive connection
circuit, called VIC. VIC is a virtual powerhouse. Traditionally,
multiple chips were needed to perform the camcorder's input and
output functions. However VIC manages it all with one single
chip. The result is seamless connectivity whether you are
connecting to a computer, TV, or VCR.
Genuine Canon Optics:
10x Optical Zoom Lens
(40-200x Digital Zoom)
What sets a Canon camcorder apart from all
the others? It’s the only camcorder made by a
company renowned for high-quality professional optics. Our vast
expertise in designing and crafting precision lenses for 35mm
and broadcast TV cameras also goes into every camcorder lens
we make. The OPTURA 300’s optical zoom lens delivers superb
definition and contrast, taking full advantage of the DV format.
The digital zoom extends the camcorder’s magnification
revealing details too small to see with the naked eye.
High Resolution
2.0 Megapixel CCD
The OPTURA 300 features a robust 1/3.4 inch 2.0 megapixel
CCD. Combined with a razor-sharp, megapixel compatible lens
and image stabilization, the camcorder creates outstanding
quality video and photos. A photo
is recorded on a memory card at
an image size of 1632 x 1224
pixels.
RGB Primary Color Filter
In addition to achieving higher resolution, the
OPTURA 300’s 2.0 Megapixel CCD integrates an
RGB Primary Color Filter which separates light
passing through the lens into individual red,
green and blue color components, similar to
professional camcorders. As a result, the
OPTURA 300 achieves more accurate color
reproduction with finer gradations than models
using a conventional complementary color filter.
The difference is especially noticeable, for
instance, in skin tones and scenes with
a dominant color such as sunsets, a ski
slope or a forest.
