The Canon Elura 2MC Digital Camcorder
 Progressive
Scan CCD
The Canon Elura 2MC incorporates a Progressive Scan CCD image sensor that
delivers a significant improvement in performance and image quality. Each and
every light gathering pixel on the CCD is used to produce a full frame video
image 60 times per second. The Progressive Scan CCD provides a serious advantage
to those who desire impeccable clarity of fast moving subjects. Canon designed
the Elura 2MC to perform exceptionally well in low light too.
RGB Primary Color Filter
In addition to achieving higher resolution, the Elura 2MC's Progressive Scan CCD
integrates an RGB Primary Color Filter which separates light passing through the
lens into individual red, green and blue color components, similar to
professional camcorders. The Elura 2MC achieve more accurate color reproduction
with finer gradations than models using a conventional complementary color
filter.
High Quality Shooting in Low Light Conditions
The Canon Elura 2MC incorporate noise reduction circuitry to deliver superior
image quality. Your videos will be cleaner overall, free from annoying color
noise or graininess when shooting under low light levels.
Genuine Canon 10x Zoom Lens with 40x Digital Zoom
It delivers incredibly high definition, outstanding contrast and maximizes the
resolution capability of DV. The digital zoom extends the magnification to 40x,
revealing details too distant to be seen with just the eye alone.
Image Stabilizer
A high quality image stabilization system corrects camera shake instantly,
giving you smooth, stable pictures.
IEEE 1394 DV Terminal
It is 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.
Three Shooting Modes
The Elura 2MC has three shooting modes: Normal Movie Mode, Digital Photo Mode,
and Digital Motor Drive (Progressive Scan Mode).
PCM Digital Sound
It offers two digital audio modes to enhance the playback experience. The 16 bit
mode produces the higher, CD equivalent, two-channel sound quality while the 12
bit mode records on two of four channels leaving two other channels free to dub
extra sound at a later date.
Program Auto Exposure
Select the program that matches your scene and the Elura 2MC adjust internal
controls for perfect video every time. Choose from Easy Recording, Auto, Sports,
Portrait, Spotlight, Sand & Snow, and Low Light.
A/V Insert and Audio Dubbing
Use this feature to insert new scenes of video from your VCR or other camcorder
on to a tape recorded in the SP mode. Using a recording made in the 12 bit audio
mode you can also add stereo sound from another audio source or through the
internal microphone or an external microphone.

and greater imaging variety: Faders, Effects, and Multi-Image Screen (when
dubbing, the Multi-Image Screen Effect is not available).
