Canon ME20F-SH Captures Aurora Borealis

AURORA Skycam, a Norwegian film enterprise, has become the first company to use the new Canon ME20F-SH high definition video camera to capture detailed low-light footage of the aurora borealis.

The footage was filmed earlier this month in Norway and records the natural phenomena in never-before-seen clarity, strong colour and high definition detail that, according to AURORA Skycam's Anders Hanssen, has "opened up new creative possibilities."

"It's the most amazing camera out there," he continues. "A revolution when it comes to night time photography. We were immediately blown away and will never use anything else from now on."

Kieran Magee, Marketing Director, Professional Imaging, adds: "We are delighted to see such stunning footage from Anders Hanssen. His incredible film shows just what is possible with the ME20F-SH and we can't wait to see what new and exciting things others will do with this camera!"

Launched in July, the ME20F-SH is a professional multi-purpose video camera capable of capturing full colour HD footage in extremely low-light environments. Featuring unrivalled maximum ISO in excess of 4 million (+75dB), the camera facilitates a wide range of shooting possibilities in situations where it previously would not have been possible.
