Progressive Scan CCD The Optura Pi incorporates a Progressive Scan CCD image sensor that delivers a significant improvement in performance and image quality.
Optical Image Stabilizer Canon utilizes the finest method of image stabilization available: optical. While other manufacturers use an electronic or digital image stabilization system, Canon's lens design includes a dedicated optical element that preserves image quality so your videos always look smooth, steady and natural...whether shooting hand-held at full telephoto or even from a moving vehicle.
3 Shooting Modes The Optura Pi has three shooting modes to accommodate any of your needs. 1) Normal Movie Mode Select this recording mode when you choose to capture smooth, full motion video for playback on your TV. The Progressive Scan CCD and RGB Primary Color Filter achieve video quality worth watching again and again. 2) Digital Photo Mode The Optura Pi functions as a digital still camera; it's like two cameras in one.
Analog Line-in Now it's possible to send an analog video signal from your TV, VCR or camcorder into the Optura Pi and record it onto DV. It’s great for making copies or preserving precious originals. One Touch Dubbing The Optura Pi includes an easy to use dubbing function for making great copies of your original recordings.
