Canon Elura 2MC
Camcorder | February 28th, 2008
A digital camcorder that fits into a purse, a glove compartment, or a coat pocket? That’s the Canon Elura2 MC (Memory Card) - designed to snuggle in your hand and to commune with your computer. It will go where you go, see how you see, and let you capture your experiences, get creative, and share them like you never have before. Weighing about the same as a can of soda, the Elura 2MC uses Canon’s miniaturization technology to give you all the functions and usability you want in a friendly, hand-sized package.Canon’s image stabilization system corrects camera shake, so the movies you make come out clear. Professionals and business users appreciate the ease of shooting long telephoto views without a tripod. Everyone appreciates that the minor bumps and wiggles because of car vibrations-or having one cup of coffee too many-won’t become part of your treasured memories! This camera provides an incredibly high definition, outstanding contrast - a pure reflection of the high-resolution capability of DV. The zoom technology employed in this camera is the same as Canon uses in their Broadcast TV lenses - the lenses that have come to be used on 60% of the broadcast cameras in the world. When you experience the Elura2’s zoom technology, you’ll see why. With a crisp, 2.5″ color LCD viewfinder, it’s easy to tell if what you’re shooting is coming out the way you want it to-and it’s easy to view and share with others. Twist & flip the viewfinder however you want, so you can shoot from any angle. The ELURA2 MC offers two digital audio modes. The 16 bit mode produces the higher (better than CD quality) 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.
With the Elura 2 you can lock both exposure and focus with the pair of buttons supplied on the back of the camera body. As an example, if you have focused on your desired subject but you are afraid your camera might wander from that point of focus then you can press the focus lock button and hold that focal point. This also transfers manual control of the focus to the wheel for fine-tuning. The same functions are also true for the exposure control.
