Features Canon Exclusive- Genuine Canon 41x Advanced Zoom Canon is known throughout the world for optical excellence. Every Canon broadcast TV lens, 35mm film camera, digital camera and camcorder share this brilliant optical quality. And now, to take better advantage of that quality, Canon introduces a new Canon Exclusive feature. The Canon 41x Advanced Zoom on the DC310 is just the kind of exclusive Canon feature you’ve come to expect from the leader in imaging and optics.
The DC310 offers you more flexibility to get just the shot you need by giving you the choice of Canon 41x Advanced Zoom in default mode or you can select a 37x Optical Zoom or a 2000x Digital Zoom. You will always be able to get the shot you need, no matter how close or far away, and always with the quality you expect from Canon. And with our unique super spectra coating, which reduces flare and ghosting, the image you capture will be cleaner than ever.
Record Direct To DVD The DC310 digital camcorder lets you record directly to DVDs, and lets you shoot and share video through a variety of options. Only 3” (8cm) in diameter, the DC310’s DVD-R/-RW discs are compatible with most DVD players and can store up to 30 minutes of video in standard mode and 60 minutes of video in long play mode. They also record to DVD-R DL (dual layer) discs that can store up to 108 minutes of video.
Canon Exclusive- DIGIC DV II Image Processor The Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor is the next generation of Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing technology. Because video and still images have different color requirements, DIGIC DV II digital signal processing ensures the best image quality for both by specifically optimizing the settings for video and stills.
Brilliant Video Widescreen HR Recording The DC310 records true High Resolution Widescreen for picture perfect video. Canon’s Widescreen HR Mode uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9 widescreen. What difference does it make? It’s simple. The more pixels which are captured, the better your final image quality is. The widescreen story doesn’t end there. Even the LCD monitor of your DC310 displays the image in 2.7” widescreen color.
Level and Grid Markers Level, well-composed shots are simple with the Level and Grid Marker features. Line up the horizon or other horizontal lines with the Level Marker in the viewfinder for level landscapes. Or, use the Grid Marker to help compose the perfect shot. Both markers can be set to white or grey for enhanced visibility, no matter what the background. Smooth Zoom Control Smooth Zoom Control allows you to choose between three fixed-zoom speeds to ensure smooth, steady zooms automatically.
Compact Size and Convenience All of the convenience of recording onto DVD is found in the DC310s slim, lightweight, gracefully designed body. It’s compact- only 2.6” wide x 3.5” high x 5” deep (not including grip belt) and weighs just under a pound, making it easy to take the DC310 with you wherever you go. Joystick Control Adding to the ease of using the DC310 is Canon’s Joystick Control. The Joystick makes using your camcorder easier than ever.
Built-in Lens Cover You’ll never have to go searching for your lens cover with the DC310’s built-in lens cover. There’s also no more chance of your lens cap dangling from your camcorder and interfering with your shot or getting in your way. © 2008 Canon U.S.A., Inc. All rights reserved.
