Greater versatility with the latest digital video technology in compact design.
The MV 400i's 10x optical and 200x digital zoom, along with image stabilization technology, lets you get that perfect shot under almost any condition. Ergonomic controls allow you to toggle quickly and easily between fully automatic or manual exposure settings. The dual shooting modes give you either full-motion video, or more than 700 still images on a single mini-DV cassette. A built-in IEEE 1394 port allows you to send your footage to a PC for editing and delivery to the Internet. Don't throw away those old analogue tapes, the MV 400i's analogue video input makes it easy to transfer analog video to digital. Available in 2nd Quarter 2001.
10x Optical Zoom Lens and 200x Digital Zoom
The Canon zoom lens transforms distant subjects into dramatic close-ups without loss in image quality. The focal length of the optical zoom is 4.2-42mm f/1.8, which is the 35mm photo lens equivalent of 48mm to 480mm. The digital zoom extends the magnification to 200x, revealing details too distant to be seen with the eye. Together, they provide an exceptional scope from wide panorama to super telephoto.
Image Stabilizer
Leave your tripod at home with Canon's high quality image stabilization system that corrects camera shake instantly, providing smooth, stable pictures. Shake-free images can be recorded even on long telephoto shots. Unlike competitive models, the image stabilizer functions in both video and photo shooting modes.
Shooting Modes
Video mode: captures smooth, full motion video for playback on the television.
Digital photo mode: Serving as both a video and still camera, the MV400i captures over 700 still video pictures on a single MiniDV cassette by pressing the photo button. It can combine video and still pictures, and each still photo is recorded for approximately six seconds along with narration or surrounding sounds.
Flexible LCD Viewscreen and Color Viewfinder
The 2.5-inch viewscreen permits easy composition of sensational shots from any angle. The screen swivels and flips for maximum handling comfort and flexibility, tucking neatly away when bright conditions make the eyecup viewfinder the preferred way to shoot.
Extended Battery Performance
Enhanced power, attributed to higher capacity batteries and reduction of energy consumption, allows for longer usage and uninterrupted recording time. More than five hours can be recorded continuously with the optional BP-522 battery pack. When powered with the optional BP-535, more than eight hours of recording time is available.
Programmed Auto Exposure
Outstanding video results are possible even during challenging conditions. By selecting the program that matches the scene, each model adjusts internal controls to create perfect video each time. Mode choices are Sports, Portrait, Spotlight, Sand and Snow, and Low Light. AE Shift is another feature that gives the shooter control over how light or dark the camcorder sets the auto exposure level. The MV 400i has enhanced low light capability with a 2.5 lux minimum illumination. For point-and-shoot simplicity, the MV 400i also includes Canon's fully automatic Easy Green Mode suitable for most indoor/outdoor situations.
Digital Effects
A choice of digital effects provides a more appealing look and greater imaging variety for stills and video. A variety of four fade effects (fade trigger, vertical wipe, horizontal wipe and mosaic fades) can begin and end scenes with a fade to and from black. Additional choices include adding art, black and white, sepia and a mosaic effect.
Digital Stereo Sound
Two digital audio modes are the16 bit mode that produces higher, CD-equivalent, two-channel sound quality and the 12 bit mode that leaves two channels free to dub extra sound at a later time.
IEEE 1394/Firewire DV Terminal
Equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal that conforms to IEEE 1394/Firewire, just a single digital cable is needed to copy video to another Canon DV camcorder, or transfer to a DV-ready computer for editing or use on the Internet.
Manual Controls
While fully automatic, the MV 400i series offers manual control over focus, exposure, white balance and shutter speed.
A/V Insert and Audio Dubbing
Insert new video scenes from a VCR or other camcorder into an original recording. When using a recording made in the 12 bit audio mode, stereo sound can be added from another audio source, or the internal or external microphone.
Analog Line-In Recording - An analog video signal from a television, VCR, or another camcorder can be sent into the MV series to record images digitally onto a Mini DV cassette. Appropriate for making copies or preserving precious originals.
