record direct to dvd
The DC100 digital camcorder gives you
all the convenience of DVD technology by
letting you record directly to DVD. Only
3" (8cm) in diameter, DVD-R/-RW discs
can store up to 60 minutes of video
(120 minutes on a double-sided disc)
and are compatible with most DVD players.
The DC100’s DVD functionality gives you a
variety of options for shooting and sharing
your special moments. You can easily locate
your scenes without having to rewind or
fast forward, create playlists of your favorite
scenes, and even do some quick editing
right in your camcorder.
widescreen hr recording
The DC100 records true High
Resolution Widescreen for
picture perfect video. Canon’s
Widescreen HR Mode uses the entire width
of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9
widescreen. That means more pixels —
whichmeans amazing image quality. Plus,
the Widescreen Button lets you switch from
standard 4:3 to 16:9 at a single touch, while
a big, 2.7" LCD screen lets you see exactly
what your DC100 is recording. And, even if
you don’t have a Widescreen TV, you can
still watch the Widescreen HR you recorded
with your DC100 on your standard television,
in letterbox format. The DC100 is just
what you need to complete your home
theater experience.
canon optical performance
For decades, the name Canon has
been synonymous with optical
excellence. That’s why Canon’s
expertise in designing lenses for photography
and broadcast television goes into every
camcorder lens we make. That means your
DC100 givesyou video that’s rich in color and
detail. The DC100 is also equipped with a
built-in, high quality Image Stabilizer for
rock-steady video — even when you’re
recording at maximum telephoto without a
tripod, or when you’re panning and zooming.
Plus, the DC100’s 25x Optical Zoom Lens
and 1000x Digital Zoom give you the zoom
range you need to capture every shot.
Whether it’s a panoramic view of a majestic
landscape, or a close-up of your child on
stage, you’ll get the shot with the DC100.
brilliant video
The DC100 features Canon’s
exclusive DIGIC DV image
processor for vivid video with exceptional
color and clarity. The DC100 also comes with
features — found on much more expensive
camcorders — that help you capture brilliant
images. The new Level Shot Control feature
gives you a horizontal marker in your
viewfinder to help you keep your camcorder
level. It also provides a marker in your
viewfinder to help you center your subject.
Plus, Smooth Zoom Control gives you 3 fixed
zoom speeds to ensure smooth, steady
zooms automatically. Your friends and family
will be impressed by the professional looking
video made possible with your DC100.
audio excellence
Tomatch the brilliance of its video image
quality, the DC100 records audio with Dolby
Digital Stereo. That ensures a complete
movie theater experience in the comfort of
your living room with the vivid memories that
you captured for your friends and family.
