Manufacturer's Description

The MV 450i addition to the MV line-up is extremely compact and well designed. With their stylish slim body and curvaceous S-surface design, they are easy and comfortable to operate, and provide an ideal fit for any hand. The MV450i provides users with DV-In and Analog-In. With the DV-In feature, users can upload edited footage or graphics from their computer, or other digital devices, to the camcorder. As the signal is digital, the images can be transferred without loss of image quality. The Analog-In feature provides the possibility to incorporate analog video data into new digital recordings. Users can record images from a previously recorded 8mm/VHS tape, onto their new long lasting DV tapes, thus enabling them to save, edit and preserve important and valuable video footage.Featuring 540, 000-pixel, Canon's image stabilizer and optical 10x zoom lens, the camcorder is ideal for advanced camcorder enthusiasts and users who demand a high level of image and color resolution. Equipped with a small 10x optical lens, the zoom range of the MV450i can be digitally extended to 200x - equivalent to a zoom range of 48mm to 9600mm (optical 480mm) in 35mm film format. A high-resolution, 2.5-inch LCD monitor is mounted on the side of the camcorder, giving clear and sharp images. The LCD monitor can be moved to a variety of positions for shooting and playback of recordings, and its information display gives details such as zoom position, battery level and tape remaining. The monitor turns and flips for maximum handling comfort and flexibility tucking conveniently away when bright conditions make the eyecup viewfinder a more desirable shooting method. Outstanding video results are possible even during challenging conditions. By selecting the shooting mode that best suits the scene, you can adjust internal controls to create the perfect video each time. Mode choices are Auto, Sports, Portrait, Spotlight, Sand and Snow, and Low Light. AE shift is an additional feature that gives the shooter control over how light or dark the camcorder sets the auto exposure level. The models have enhanced low light capability with a 2 lux minimum illumination.
