how something so small can perform so big.

DV Format

Mini DV is the new preferred format for personal and broadcast-quality video, highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution and minimum color noise, Mini DV delivers a 20% clearer picture than analog camcorder formats. All this, in a handy, super-compact cassette.
10x Optical Zoom Lens (40-200x Digital Zoom)
What sets a Canon camcorder apart from all the others? Its 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 Elura 40MCs 10x optical zoom lens delivers superb definition and contrast, taking full advantage of the DV format. The digital zoom extends the camcorders magnification from 40 to an incredible 200x, revealing details too small to see with the naked eye.

Image Stabilizer

The ideal companion for the Elura 40MCs impressive zoom capability, the advanced image stabilization system instantly compensates for camera shake caused by unsteady hands, giving you smooth, stable pictures even for extreme close-ups, without a tripod.

Analog Line-In

For instant editing, simply connect your TV, VCR or analog camcorder to the Elura 40MC, it will convert your analog video signal to digital, for direct transfer to your computer via IEEE1394 cable.* If you wish, you can first record the analog signal to DV tape, allowing you to create a high quality master of your original.
*The Analog to Digital Converter may not function depending on the software used.

Lithium Ion Power

The Elura 40MCs Lithium Ion battery pack can be recharged at any time, so you will never be caught unexpectedly without power when the important shooting opportunities arise.
PCM Digital Sound AV Insert and Audio Dubbing
Use this function to insert new video scenes recorded in SP mode from a VCR or other another camcorder. If youve recorded your audio track in 12-bit audio mode, you can also add stereo sound from another audio source, or through the camcorders internal microphone or an external microphone. The Elura 40MC offers two digital audio modes, 12 and 16-bit. You can select 16-bit mode for high-quality, CD-equivalent stereo sound, or 12-bit to record only two of four channels, leaving the remaining two channels free for you to record additional sound later.

Exif Print

The Elura 40MC supports Exif Print (2.2), the world-wide standard for enhancing communication between camcorders and printers. After connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, Exif Print uses and optimizes the camcorders image data at the moment of shooting, resulting in high quality printed photos.
Direct Print with Card Photo Printer CP-10 (optional)
Compact and fun to use, the Card Photo Printer CP-10 produces highresolution 300 x 300 dpi dye-sublimated prints using only your Elura 40MC: no computer required! A single cable connects the printer to your Elura 40MC, and you can perform cropping and other functions right from the camera. Credit card-sized prints are perfect for storing, sharing and carrying with you. Select bordered or borderless prints, full-size labels, or even a sheet of eight mini-labels.

Flexible LCD View Screen and Color Viewfinder
The Elura 40MCs bright 2.0 LCD view screen that makes it easy to compose sensational shots without having to squint into the viewfinder. You can rotate the screen for high-or low-angle shots, or turn it around 180 to record yourself. When youre done shooting, the screen is perfect for reviewing your scenes. When scooting conditions are too bright for the LCD, the screen tucks neatly away, and you can go on shooting using the full-color eyecup viewfinder.

Manual Controls

The fully-automatic Elura 40MC gives great results even in the hands of a novice, while experts will appreciate the manual focus, exposure, white balance and shutter speed controls.

Night Mode

Even when the light has faded, you can keep on shooting with the Elura 40MCs Night Mode. The camcorder selects the optimal shutter speed based on the brightness of the subject, allowing improved brightness and color. Now you can capture the action without turning the lights on.

Program Auto Exposure

While the Elura 40MCs Easy Recording mode is fine for most shooting situations, the camcorder also includes seven additional pre-programmed auto exposure modes (Auto, Sports, Portrait, Spotlight, Sand & Snow, Low Light and Night) each carefully designed to give you the best possible image results under special shooting conditions.

Sand & Snow

Stitch Assist
