TRUE HD to Life A Superior Feature Set A comprehensive set of well-designed features positions the HV20 as a premium quality camcorder. An Advanced Accessory Shoe lets you attach optional accessories such as a video light or directional microphone, without additional wires or batteries. For added audio flexibility, the HV20 features Mic and Headphone Terminals. Manual Audio Level Adjustment provides professional control. The HV20 is an ideal tool for shooting in low light with the built-in Ultra Video Light. An Electronic Lens Cover automatically opens when the camcorder is turned on, and closes when it is turned off, so there is no dangling lens cover to lose. Use of genuine Canon accessories is recommended: this product is designed to achieve excellent performance optimally when used with genuine Canon accessories.
