Canon DC40 DVD Camcorder 10x Zoom 4.3MP
The name Canon has always meant photographic and broadcast television lenses with optical excellence, advanced image processing, and superb performance. And Canon digital video camcorders are no exception. In fact, Canon digital camcorders include the latest advancement: a family of sophisticated and powerful DVD camcorders. With this innovative line, you experience all the image quality, convenience and compatibility of DVDs, in sleek and compactly designed camcorders.

With the DC40’s 4.3 Megapixel CCD, you get Canon’s top of the line DVD camcorder and one of the highest resolution camcorders in its price range. The Smooth Zoom feature ensures smooth, steady zooms automatically, while Level Shot helps you keep your camcorder level. Plus, a large widescreen LCD makes it easy to compose and review your video. The DC40 even lets you record and show your High Resolution Widescreen images on a standard TV, in letterbox format. With the DC40, you get all the sophistication and versatility you need for your dynamic lifestyle.

Record Direct to DVD
The DC40 digital camcorder gives you all the convenience and functionality of DVD technology by letting you record directly to DVDs, plus a variety of options for shooting and sharing. Only 3″ (8cm) in diameter, the DC40’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. That’s 120 minutes on a double-sided disc!

Convenience in a Handy Size
Like all of Canon’s DVD camcorders, the DC40’s optical excellence and advanced features come in a sophisticated, compact design. Its slim and comfortable design makes it easy to operate, carry or put in your coat pocket.

Optical Performance You Can See
The DC40 comes with a 10x optical zoom lens, precisely matched to the camcorder’s CCD and featuring high-quality glass with a unique, super spectra coating developed exclusively by Canon to reduce flare and ghosting for a clean image. Combined with the camcorder’s powerful 200x digital zoom, the lens gives an impressive range of focal lengths. Use a shorter focal length to record the breathtaking landscape you discover on your vacation.

Image Stabilizer
The DC40’s built-in, high-quality image stabilizer allows you to shoot rock-steady video — whether you’re shooting sporting events, fun & games at your child’s birthday party, or capturing a shot at a long focal length. It even works when you’re panning and zooming. Thanks to Canon’s superior electronic expertise, the DC40’s image stabilization system corrects camcorder shake instantly, thereby eliminating one of the telltale signs of amateur video.

DIGIC DV
Because Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing circuit processes video and still images differently, you get uncompromising image quality for both. Video and still images have different color requirements and DIGIC DV technology processes the two signals accordingly. That means your video images are maximized for viewing on monitors and for projection.

Image Effects
The DC40 lets you choose from the following effects to add creative flare to your photos: Vivid, Neutral, Low-Sharpening and Soft Skin Detail.

Print and Share
Print & Share — another of the powerful Canon DV Photo Plus technologies — turns your DC40 into a photo lab in the palm of your hand. Simply connect your camcorder directly to select Canon printers or any PictBridge-compatible printer with the supplied USB cable. Then, with a simple touch of the Print & Share button, you can print directly from your DC40 without going through a computer.
