Megapixel camcorder with DV/AV input and 20x zoom, ready for true 16:9 widescreen.

Megapixel video and stills
The lightweight Megapixel MVX460 combines advanced camcorder and digital camera functions. True widescreen recording delivers stunning vibrant images, no matter what and how you’re shooting.

True widescreen shooting
Optimised for true 16:9 shooting, the MVX460 captures high-resolution widescreen pictures. With a 2.7" widescreen colour LCD screen that includes a level marker to line up the horizon, as well as a colour viewfinder, movies are perfect for watching back on widescreen TVs. At the push of a button, the camcorder can be switched from 16:9 wide to normal 4:3 shooting.

20x optical zoom
The camcorder performs to the highest optical standards thanks to a powerful 20x optical zoom lens that has Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and variable zoom speeds.

DV and AV input
DV and AV input allow greater creative control. With DV input, video that has been uploaded to a computer for editing can be re-recorded back to miniDV cassette in the camcorder. With analogue-to-digital conversion possible via AV input, even old home movies can be transferred to digital tape for archiving.

Vivid colours with DIGIC DV
With Canon’s powerful DIGIC DV imaging engine, the camcorder has separate processing paths for video and stills. Colours remain vivid and vibrant no matter what kind of image you’re shooting and simultaneous video and still capture is also possible.

Easy direct printing
Compatible with PictBridge printers, it’s easy to get digital photographs out of the camcorder and onto paper. With a single push of the Print/Share button, images can be either sent to a printer or uploaded to a computer via Hi Speed USB.

Easy shooting and control
With a re-designed control layout, the camcorder’s menu is navigated via an easy-to-use joystick. Using the wireless controller, movies can even be shot from in front of, and not behind, the lens.

Low-light shooting
The camcorder’s Night Mode white LED makes shooting without light a real possibility, illuminating even the darkest occasions and capturing the moment to tape.

Wide Attachment
The MVX460 comes ready supplied with a 0.75x wide attachment for wide-angle shooting in both 16:9 and 4:3 modes.

Software supplied
The MVX460 comes ready supplied with powerful software tools for managing both stills and video footage. The software bundle includes ZoomBrowser (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac).
