An IEEE1394-compliant DV terminal lets you connect  
the ELURA 50 to a DV-compatible computer or another  
Canon DV camcorder. Transfer your digital movies to  
your computer’s hard disk, edit your scenes, then use them to  
create high-impact Web sites, video e-mail, interactive CDs and  
DVDs, or a personal video album.  
Digital Photo Mode  
For added flexibility, you may take up to 700 still images on a  
single MiniDV tape (in SP Mode). The camcorder records the  
photos for approximately 6 seconds, as well as recording the  
sound for your verbal notes or narration. You can search through  
the recorded tape for your photos using the supplied remote  
control.

The ELURA 50 expands video possibilities with a built-in slot for  
an SD (Secure Digital) Memory Card or a MultiMediaCard, in  
addition to a MiniDV cassette. You can also capture small movie  
clips to the memory card in Motion JPEG format. Easily transfer  
images to your PC directly from the camcorder using USB and  
IEEE1394. Produce effects not possible with just a cassette using  
the Card Mix Effects. Choose one of the sample images provided  
on the supplied SD Memory Card (such as picture frames and  
backgrounds) and combine it with the live video recording.

or MultiMediaCard to your computer. By using the USB cable and  
software provided, you can process and organize  
your images on your PC.  
Included Software

editing: ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) and ImageBrowser  
(Macintosh) which let you easily download, browse, archive, and  
retouch your photos. Automatically resize images and attach

Analog Line-In/Converter  
Direct Print Choices

camcorder into the ELURA 50 and record it onto a DV tape, or  
convert the analog signal into digital signal, for direct transfer to  
digital video devices or computers  
Connect your camcorder to a Canon Card Photo Printer CP-10 or  
a Canon Bubble Jet Direct Printer, without even connecting a

bordered prints.  
PCM Digital Sound  
The ELURA 50 offers two digital modes, 16-bit and 12-bit. You  
can select 16-bit mode for high-quality, CD-equivalent stereo  
sound, or 12-bit to record only two of four channels, leaving two  
channels free for you to record additional sound later.  
Manual Controls  
The fully-automatic ELURA 50 gives great results even in the  
hands of a novice, while experts will appreciate the manual focus,  
exposure, white balance and shutter speed controls.  
Exif Print  
The ELURA 50 supports Exif Print (2.2), a worldwide standard  
that enhances communication between digital cameras and  
printers. At the time of shooting, vital camcorder settings and  
scene data are recorded with the image, resulting in realistic and  
reliable color reproduction. Poor lighting or mistakes  
can also be corrected, allowing photos to be even  
better than the originals.
