Relive the fun
The atmosphere; the feelings, movement and sounds that describe a special time and place. These are what your camcorder helps you remember. But for those evocative photos capturing the detail of a moment, nothing compares to a still image. The MVX20i provides the best of both formats. This 2.2 Megapixel digital powerhouse is both a superb quality camcorder and a fully featured digital still camera, with a host of advanced features normally reserved for single-purpose devices.

Moments of clarity
With 2.2 Megapixels, the MVX20i has more than enough capacity to generate high clarity video footage. The sensor also paves the way for digital stills which can be printed up to 15x21cm at photo quality.

True & Natural
To recreate 'emotional' colours we humans love and respond to – bluer skies, greener grass, redder apples - Canon has combined all key processing and memory requirements onto the purpose built DIGIC DV chip. Two discrete processing paths separate the algorithms required to optimize video and stills quality during simultaneous video/still capture. An RGB primary colour filter does away with image-degrading signal conversion for truer, more natural colours.

Optics
Drawing on 60 years of precision optics heritage, Canon has developed a 12x optical zoom lens, assuring crisp, clear and clean images from one frame corner to the other.

Direct print
Immediate, no-fuss, PC-free direct printing to any PictBridge compatible printer is easy with the simple Print/Share button.

Advanced features
Image Stabilization keeps the action steady without a tripod. Night Mode lets you continue recording in full colour in low light conditions. A flash provides digital stills shooting to a distance of up to 2m. To allow auto-focusing on non-centred subjects, the frame is split into three individually selectable auto-focus regions. A manual Focus Ring further expands creative control.

Motion-JPEG
Motion-JPEG files record direct to SD or MMC memory cards for easy internet sharing. Depending on memory card capacity, up to 60 minutes of QVGA or QQVGA formats can be recorded straight to card or copied to card from DV tape.

Get connected
DV and USB terminals allow high quality dubbing, connection to a PC's IEEE1394 port for editing and retouching, direct printing and easy high-speed file transfer of still images and video files from the camcorder's memory card.
