Why watch TV when
you can make it?
Digital Camcorders

With Digital, everyone’s a director.
What if Digital technology was available to everybody on
a compact, easy to use digital camcorder? One you don’t
have to be a TV mogul to afford. Imagine editing your
own holiday films on an ordinary computer, watching
them on TV or, in the case of the MV650i, even e-mailing
them to your friends and family. Well, with the Canon
MV600 series, you can.
ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR CLOSE UP?
Putting the Canon MV600 series to good use means
getting the most from its new zoom lens. The lens
technology, which Canon has been developing for 60
years means that whether you’re recording videos or
shooting XGA still images (MV650i, MV630i), all
800,000 pixels will make the subject of every close up
into a star.
Wide angle using
0.6x wide attachment
(available for the MV650i only)
Normal
Zoom mode 22x
MV600 series_SJ_ENG_26feb03.qxd 26-02-2003 09:12 Page 4

Super night mode (available for
the MV650i only) lets you film in
extreme low light conditions.
Full range of optional
lens accessories.
NOW THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
SOMETHING GOOD ON TV
With the extensive features and accessory range of the
MV600 series, you’ll have no excuse for missing the
perfect filming opportunity. The MV650i comes with
an Advanced accessory shoe, which can hold the VL-3
Video Light and the DM-50 Directional Stereo
Microphone.
WITH DV MESSENGER, YOU CAN
FILM IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE.
The MV600 series comes complete with DV Messenger
software, a service you can use in conjunction with
Windows®Messenger available on Microsoft®Windows®XP.
DV Messenger enables you to exchange files, control the
zoom, focus and playback on both ends and have live
conversations using your camcorders as sophisticated
webcams.
DV Messenger allows you to link up with
another camcorder user anywhere in the world.

NOW YOU’VE MADE YOUR FILM,
IT’S TIME FOR THE PREMIÈRE.
It’s not enough that your shots look good in
the viewfinder. What happens next is just as
important. Canon’s Multi Architecture Camera
System (MACS) means that everything you record
with the MV600 series is routed to the appropriate
storage media with the best possible results. For
instance, videos are sent on the optimum route
to miniDV tapes. On the MV650i and MV630i
models still images can be sent to the SD Memory
card via a different route. Simply connect your
camcorder directly to a compatible printer to
obtain beautiful colour pictures. The MV650i can
also record Motion JPEG files onto the SD memory
card so you can send them via e-mail.
MACS ensures that every
different recording is treated
appropriately, to ensure
optimal picture quality.
MV650i, MV630i only.
