Model features Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS), high-res true 16:9 wide screen mode with letterbox display, a double neutral density filter, web cam functionality. Despite their tiny size (only 51mm thick and weighing just 430g), the digital video camera features a large 2.4¿ colour LCD screen and are powered with the same DIGIC-DV processor used to drive Canon¿s high end digital video cameras. Everything about the digital video camera is designed to make shooting and playback super easy. As well as the ¿Easy¿ button for switching between full auto and program mode, a number of other key controls sit right beneath the fingertips for intuitive, single-handed operation. The ergonomic oval design includes flush switches and recessed buttons, contributing to both ease-of-use and the streamlined feel. To make shooting easy, single purpose external buttons now include a ¿Night Mode¿ button, LCD Backlight button to raise LCD backlight brightness when shooting in bright conditions and a Widescreen button to switch between normal 4:3 and wide screen 16:9 modes. Menu options are designed to be intuitive and simple to navigate. The digital video camera features high-resolution 16:9 wide screen mode for ¿cinema-like¿ full screen viewing on wide-screen television ¿ the first time high-resolution 16:9 has been incorporated in a digital video camera at this price point. ¿Letter Box¿ display is used for correct ratio representation of 16:9 footage during recording and playback, avoiding an otherwise ¿squashed¿ image. Drawing on over 60 years of precision optics experience, Canon has fitted the digital video cameras with a glass lens containing an aspheric element for high contrast, sharp footage, free from the spherical aberrations caused by low quality lenses. To prevent white clipping (loss of differentiation in the brightest whites) that can occur when shooting in bright conditions (such as beach or snow), each model features a double neutral density (ND) filter. Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) in all models limits frustrating image shake for calm, steady and pleasing footage, particularly important at high magnifications and making tripod use unnecessary in most shooting situations.
