and ZR40 are
equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal that
conforms to IEEE 1394. It takes just a
single digital cable to transfer or copy
your videos in pure digital form to your
DV compatible computer or another
Canon DV camcorder. Once you’ve
transferred video images to your
computer, you can edit your movies or
send your movies over the Internet, or
post them on your Web site. Also, print
them out on a Canon color printer,
transfer them back to your Canon
camcorder and archive them
on a Mini DV cassette, or
create a dubbing master.

The ZR50

a Mini DV cassette. These ultra-small and ultra-light media record,
store and manage still images, as well as allow easy transfer of still
images to a PC with the camcorder. Use an SD
Memory Card for high-capacity recording. Copy
still images from a videocassette to a memory
card, and vice versa. Produce effects not possible
with just a cassette using one of the three types of
Card Mix Effects. Choose one of the sample
images provided on the supplied MultiMediaCard
such as a picture frame or crashing waves and
combine it with the currently recording image.
*An 8MB MultiMediaCard is supplied with the camcorders.
