The Canon ELURA2 and ELURA2

(Memory Card) represent the peak of

technology, functionality and

miniaturization. Each innovative model is

capable of capturing high-resolution

digital video, still photos and 30 frames

per second Progressive Scan Digital

Motor Drive. Beyond their shooting

versatility, each ELURA2 model

effortlessly connects to a TV, VCR or DV-

ready computer. To easily record, manage

and transfer still images to a personal

computer, the ELURA2

industry standard MultiMediaCard.

The ELURA2

and ELURA2 measure

up to the new standards in digital

imaging in a size that doesn't measure

much at all.

Progressive

Scan CCD

The ELURA2

ELURA2

incorporate 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. In contrast,

the conventional interlace-type

CCD produces only half a full

frame, known as a field, in the

same amount of time. The

Progressive Scan CCD

provides a serious advantage

to those who desire

impeccable clarity of fast

moving subjects. The interlace

method used on other

camcorders combines two

field images together, but a

time lapse between the fields

can cause a disturbing image

flicker on the television screen

when playback is paused.

Recordings of subjects

moving at high speed such as

athletes, wildlife and even

machinery can be viewed on a

television with superior

resolution. And this CCD type

makes it possible to produce

accepts the

better quality video prints than

ever before. Also, realizing

people shoot video in a variety

of light levels, Canon designed

the ELURA2

/ ELURA2 to

perform exceptionally well in

low light too.

RGB Primary

Color Filter

In addition to

achieving higher

resolution, the ELURA2

ELURA2'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. As a

result, the ELURA2

ELURA2 achieve more

accurate color reproduction

with finer gradations than

models using a conventional

complementary color filter. The

difference is especially

noticeable, for instance, in skin

tones and scenes with a

dominant color such as

sunsets, a ski slope or a forest.

High Quality

Shooting in Low

Light Conditions

The ELURA2

incorporate noise reduction

circuitry to deliver superior

image quality. By eliminating

video noise, which can occur

during signal processing,

Canon has increased the

signal to noise ratio. Your

videos will be cleaner overall,

free from annoying color noise

or graininess when shooting

under low light levels.

A Genuine Canon

10x Zoom Lens

with 40x Digital

Zoom

Expertise from designing and

manufacturing 35mm camera

and broadcast TV lenses

contributed to the development

of the ELURA2

10x optical zoom lens. It

delivers incredibly high

definition, outstanding contrast

and maximizes the resolution

capability of DV. You'll love its

ability to transform distant

subjects into dramatic close-

ups quickly

and

effortlessly. The digital zoom

extends the magnification to

40x, revealing details too

distant to be seen with just the

/ ELURA2

eye alone.

Image Stabilizer

A high quality image

stabilization system corrects

camera shake instantly, giving

you smooth, stable pictures. It

enables you to record shake-

free images, even on long

/ ELURA2's

telephoto shots

without a tripod.
