Features

16x Optical Zoom plus 64x Digital Zoom
The World's longest on a digital video camcorder! This Canon optical zoom lens perfectly transforms distant subjects into dramatic close-ups with absolutely no loss in image quality. The digital zoom extends the magnification to an amazing 64X revealing details too distant to be seen with just the eye alone. The scope from wide panorama to super telephoto is outstanding.

Optical Image Stabilizer
Canon's optical expertise produced the finest method of image stabilization available. It optically corrects camera shake so the video always looks smooth, steady and natural whether shooting hand-held at full telephoto or even from a moving vehicle.

Unlike the electronic method on other models, the optical method is the perfect complement to the outstanding picture quality of DV and offers superior shake reduction, especially when light levels are low.

IEEE 1394 DV Terminal
The VISTURA is equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal that conforms to the IEEE 1394 standard. It takes just a single digital cable to transfer or copy your videos in pure digital format to your DV compatible computer or another Canon DV camcorder.

Use the optional DK-1 DV Capture Kit and your PC computer to grab video frames or still images from the VISTURA and edit, enhance or retouch the images with Photo Suite software by MGI that's included. You can choose to print your images on a Canon color printer or send them over the internet.
