To meet growing market needs for compact video camcorders, Canon developed the slim-design UCV1Hi. In addition to a digital camera-signal processing system and built-in video light, it incorporated a 12x optical zoom lens and 2x electrical zoom lens, resulting in 24x effective zoom power. It also featured a newly designed power zoom lever, a rotating-type power switch and a manual focusing dial for user-friendly operation.
