The design of the DM-MV550i E, DM-MV530i E, DMMV500i E, DM-MV510 E, DM-MV500 E, DM-MV490 E has been further refined with the introduction of a more streamlined surface. The popular layout of the DM-MV550i E, DM-MV530i E, DMMV500i E, DM-MV510 E, DM-MV500 E, DM-MV490 E has been retained. The MENU buttons have been moved out of the LCD to improve ease of use. Independently illuminated keys are used (DM-MV650i E) and the feel of the colored clear keys enhanced (both DM-MV630i E and DM-MV600i E, DM-MV600 E, DM-MV590 E). The front terminal cover is now finished with metallic paint on all models (DM-MV650i E, DM-MV630i E, and DM-MV600i E, DM-MV600 E, DM-MV590 E) for a more deluxe look.

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

2-2 DMC III Digital Mechanism Chassis

2-2-1 Improved Quality

The DMC I and DMC II digital mechanism chassis, which formed the core of previous Canon camcorder models, were developed in 1997 and 1999, respectively. They helped make those camcorders more compact. In particular, as the excellent image quality and reliability of Canon camcorders has come to be highly evaluated by the marketplace in recent years, the number of units manufactured has been increasing substantially. The DMC III digital mechanism chassis was developed with the aims of further improving reliability, by drastically reducing the number of component parts, and also enhancing quality. At the same times, the developers worked to reduce the cassette loading time and improve ease of operation.

2-3 Direct Print (Canon Camera Direct Correspondence Printer)

By connecting the Canon BJ F890PD or BJ 895PD or BJ 535PD camera direct correspondence printer to the product (DM-MV650i E), the user can print still images stored on an SD memory card or MultiMediaCard without using a PC.

Note: This function is not compatible with the CP-100 or CP-10 card photo printer.

Change button focus Multi switch (up-down) Confirmation button Setting button Card image advance Card image advance + and - buttons

2-3-2 Calling up the Direct Print Setting Screen

(1) The camcorder must be in the Card Playback mode with the BJ 895PD connected and

the BJ 895PD powered on. In the upper left-hand corner of the screen two icons marked Print and Settings are displayed. If a memory card with images stored on it is mounted in the camcorder, the last image recorded is displayed on the screen.

(2) Press the Setting switch.

The camcorder switches to the Direct Print mode.

Turn the Multi switch to select Print, Cancel, No. of Copies, or Style (Border or No Border) and specify the setting for the desired item. (Refer to page 60 for details of the screen.)

The direct print setting specifications are basically the same as those for a digital camera. However, the card image advance item on the setting screen is unique to video cameras, and the Advance button works at all times except when an image displayed in reduced size is in the process of being printed.

When the USB port on the PC and the USB port on the camcorder are connected using the included interface cable (IFC-300PCU), still images (JPEG files) and motion video (Motion JPEG files) recorded on the memory card can be transferred to the PC. If the "ZoomBrowser" program (for Windows) or "ImageBrowser" program (for Macintosh) on the included Digital Video Solution Disk is installed on the PC in advance, you can transfer the desired images to the PC while viewing thumbnails of the still images recorded on the memory card.

This function performs real-time conversion of analog AV signals input to the AV terminal into digital DV signals and outputs them through the DV terminal. When an 8 mm video player or VHS video player is connected with the camcorder using an AV cable, and the camcorder is connected to a PC using a DV cable, playback images can be transferred from the 8 mm tape or VHS tape to the PC. (Under the VCR settings on the VCR menu screen, set "AV input → DV Output" to ON.
