Join ZDNet Page 5 of 14 Canon Ultura Canon's Ultura includes three innovative and useful features not found on the other camcorders in our review. Its image-stabilizing system is one of these features. It uses optical technology rather than digital. This results in a much clearer image while eliminating slight movement in shooting. Another feature is the Ultura's Flexizone focusing and exposure system.
Most cameras provide auto-focusing and exposure controls based on the entire image.
Canon has one-upped the competition with Flexizone. The result is a much-improved setting for the entire image. The third feature is the auto-editing function. Unlike the other cams, the focusing and digital-effects controls don't use the same dials and buttons. This seemed counterintuitive to us.
