With Quick Start, you’ll never miss a shot again. Simply push the
Quick Start button to put your camcorder in stand-by mode. By
enabling the Quick Start feature you are considerably extending
the life of your battery compared to that of recording mode. Once
the Quick Start button is pushed again, your camcorder powers up

and is ready to record in less than a second. With Quick Start,

it’s easy to capture the spontaneous and surprising moments

that happen in your life. 

EXPERIENCE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Now, you can leave your digital still camera at home.
That’s because, with Canon’s DoubleShot technology,
you don’t just get video and photography — you get the
best of both. All three camcorders come with features
like Progressive Photo for sharp detail, Special Scene
Modes, and Image Effects. You get 9-point AiAF Auto

focus. You can also use the Simultaneous Photo Recording

feature to capture still images while recording video.

AUDIO EXCELLENCE

To match the brilliance of its video image quality, this trio of
camcorders records audio with Dolby Digital Stereo. This ensures a

complete movie theater experience in the comfort of your living room as you 
share vivid memories with your friends and families.

SHARE YOUR VIDEO

Of course, with the convenience of DVDs, it’s easy to share your video with
friends or family simply by letting them view your discs in their DVD players. 
But with the DC220 and DC230, you can also share digital photos via email by
transferring images directly to your PC using the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed terminal. 
You can also print directly from your DC220 and DC230 to any PictBridge-
compatible printer, or store your digital photos on a miniSD Memory Card,
which is half the size of a standard SD card.
