Features

Cover all the widescreen angles
The Optura 400 digital camcorder gives you the ability to shoot widescreen images ready for viewing on your large-screen TV. Unlike other camcorders that only record a vertically stretched picture, Canon's digital camcorders use the entire width of the 2.2 Megapixel CCD image sensor to capture your footage. Both models feature a High-Resolution 16:9 Mode that records video in true 16:9 ("letterbox") format, resulting in widescreen quality videos that will have the whole family shouting "action!"

Enjoy true clarity with Genuine Canon Optics
Shoot with confidence thanks to the Optura's Genuine Canon Optics. Featuring an incredible 200x digital zoom and 10x optical zoom for both videos and photos, the Optura 400 ensures every shot is crisp and vibrant. In addition, the lenses feature a unique spectral coating to reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in indoor and outdoor shots you'll love.
