| Take control and capture your video and photographic memories the way you want to remember them - all with a single camera. The Optura 60 combines extraordinary 2.2 Megapixel performance with advanced controls for your digital photography. The camcorder also lets you take as much or as little control over your video as you want with a wide range of automatic settings. With these advanced controls and automatic settings - along with an advanced, 9-point Auto Intelligent Autofocus - there are no limits to your creativity. You always get the shot you want. |
| Not only that, the Optura 60 makes it easy for you to share your great shots. The camcorder connects with your computer effortlessly, letting you manage, stream and e-mail your memories for all to enjoy. | | Optura 60 Features: | | Camcorder and Digital Camera in One | You have them both without compromising the quality of your video or digital photography. That's because Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing circuit processes video and still images differently. The two signals have different color requirements and DIGIC DV technology processes the two signals accordingly, giving you uncompromised results. That means video images that are maximized for viewing on TV, and digital photographs that look brilliant on computer displays or as prints. DIGIC DV is just one of Canon's DV Photo Plus technologies that help to unleash the performance potential of the Optura 60. | | Unsurpassed Optical Quality | A part of every Canon product are Genuine Canon Optics, and the Optura 60 is no exception. You get the same clarity, brilliance and vivid color that advanced amateurs and professionals have come to expect from the Genuine Canon Optics in 35mm film cameras and broadcast TV cameras. Genuine Canon Optics is just one of the DV Photo Plus technologies that make the Optura 60 such a stand-out performer. | The Optura 60 comes with a 14X optical zoom which, along with the camcorder's 280X digital zoom, gives you an impressive zoom range found on more expensive cameras. | | 2.2 Megapixel Performance | One of the reasons the Optura 60 delivers stunningly vivid and sharp video and still (1632 X 1224) images is the 2.2 Megapixel CCD. It's one of the DV Photo Plus technologies that ensure outstanding results. | | In the Optura 60, this performance is combined with Canon's advanced RGB Primary Color Filter. Other camcorders process color using a standard CMYG filter, resulting in duller colors. Canon's RGB filter separates light into its red, green and blue components, resulting in professional-quality images with natural-looking tones and vivid hues. Together, the 2.2 Megapixel CCD and RGB color filter deliver uncompromisingly brilliant results. | | One Touch Photo Downloading and Printing | Print & Share, one of the powerful Canon DV Photo Plus technologies, makes easy downloading and printing of your images a snap. Print & Share does just that - with the touch of a single button, you can print digital photographs from your Optura camcorder, directly to a Canon CP-series Photo Printer or Canon Bubble Jet Direct printer (or any Pictbridge-compatible printer). Simply connect your Optura camcorder to your printer using the supplied USB cable (USB 2.0 High Speed). Wait for the button to light up, press it, and you've got a print to share with family and friends. | | With Print & Share, your Optura has all the controls you need for reviewing and rotating images, cropping, or selecting borderless prints. And, because your Optura tags each photo with Exif 2.2 information, poor lighting and other mistakes are corrected in the printer automatically. You can also share your photos by quickly and easily downloading them to your computer - with the same touch of a button - for archiving and e-mailing. Your Optura also supports Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). That means your computer can access your camcorder as if it were an external card reader - without installing additional software. (minimum system requirements: Windows XP, or Mac OS X, version 10.1) With the Optura 50 and 60, it's easy to share the memories. | | More Control for Perfect Photos | Not only does the Optura's DIGIC DV technology help you take great photos from your camcorder, a wide array of advanced photo controls ensure beautiful results. Controls include: | | Auto Exposure Bracketing gives you 3 shots automatically: one normal, one over-exposed, and one under-exposed. | | 3 Metering Modes for the advanced photographer shooting under a variety of lighting conditions: Evaluative, Center-weighted Average, Spot. | | 4 Image Settings to match your subject: Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Soft Skin Detail. | | Built-in Flash for low light and interior photography. | | Continuous Shooting Mode for sports, action, or kids just having fun: 3 fps (1632 x 1224), 5fps (1280 x 960). | | Photo Review Button so you know if you got the shot or not. | | Dimensions | 2.8 x 3.2 x 5.2 in.
