This approach is no better reflected than with
its range of Digital Camcorder accessories.
Each is painstakingly designed and crafted to
work seamlessly with Canon camcorders,
inspiring the more inventive videographer to
take their equipment beyond the limits others
happily accept.
Canon camcorders with a digital still function.
Canon genuine battery packs and chargers
offer safe, high capacity extended shooting
– particularly important for documenting those
once in a lifetime occasions such as first
birthdays or weddings. Give footage the benefit
of your imagination with creative filter sets
and experiment with more present sound with
microphones and microphone adapters.
Suspend or mount your camcorder in difficult
to access or interesting positions – such as the
ceiling of a theatre set or sports gymnasium –
and use Canon’s Remote Controller to record
unique and exciting moments.
