The Canon ULTURA features a wide-aperture 16x optical zoom lens. This Canon optical zoom lens perfectly transforms distant subjects into dramatic close-ups with absolutely no loss in image quality. The digital zoom extends the magnification to an amazing 320x, revealing details too distant to be seen with just the eye alone. The scope from wide panorama to super telephoto is outstanding.

The Canon ULTURA also features Optical Image Stabilizer. Canons optical expertise produced the finest method of image stabilization available. It optically corrects camera shake so the video always looks smooth, steady and natural whether shooting hand-held at full telephoto or even from a moving vehicle. Unlike the electronic method on other models, the optical method is the perfect complement to the outstanding picture quality of DV and offers superior shake reduction, especially when light levels are low.
