delivers excellent video quality in a compact package.

technology & features that deliver excellent video
quality for family & friends to cherish for years to

allowing consumers to easily put a disc into their home
DVD players & watch home movies from the comfort of
their living rooms. The DC100 camcorder accepts the 3"
DVD-R/-RW discs, which stores up to 60 minutes of video
(120 on double sided discs) & are compatible with many

compatibility with a range of DVD players & drives.

create play lists of favorite scenes, even do some quick
editing right in the camcorder.
· The DC100 model includes Canon's Widescreen HR (High
Resolution) 16:9 recording, which allows users to enjoy

uses a wider area of the CCD image sensor to strike more
pixels & deliver higher resolution for superior
widescreen image quality.
· The camcorder includes a 2.7-inch Widescreen display
panel making it easy to compose shots in cinema-style.
As widescreen television sets begin to replace standard

experience at home.
· The DC100 model incorporates complementary features
that make it easier to shoot better video. Canon matched
the high-magnification 25x zoom lens with an image
stabilizer to ensure smooth, steady recordings even at
maximum telephoto.
· Additionally, a Smooth Zoom Control feature provides a
choice of 3 fixed zoom speeds to make sure zooming is at
a constant speed, which prevents unintentionally rapid &
dizzying zooms. It also includes Level Shot Control,
which shows horizontal/center indicator markers on the
display panel that allow users to easily compose shots
level with the ground & avoid shooting crooked, uneven
video.
· The camcorder also includes a built-in lens cover to
easily protect the lens while carrying or storing the
camcorder. The DC100 DVD camcorder records audio in
Dolby Digital Stereo so consumers can enjoy the complete
movie theater experience all from the the comfort of
their living rooms. |
