W
hether you’re shopping for your first camcorder,
or would like to upgrade from analog to digital,
Canon’s ZR camcorders are perfect for you. The
MiniDV ZR800, ZR830 and ZR850 are affordable,
high-performance, and easy-to-use. They come
with an array of advanced features, as well as
Canon’s longest optical zoom — a brilliant
35x Optical Zoom lens with outstanding image
quality and color clarity. With the new ZR series
of camcorders, you also get an easy-to-read
menu system, joystick controller, Level and
Grid Markers, and Quick Start feature.
All this in pocket-sized camcorders
with three distinctively-colored back panels: the ZR800’s Deep Blue, the ZR830’s
Dark Gray, and the ZR850’s Pearl Black. With all this stylish functionality,
it’s no surprise that capturing your precious memories is a breeze.
OPTICAL PERFORMANCE YOU CAN SEE
Your ZR800/ZR830/ZR850 camcorders come
with Genuine Canon Optics, known worldwide
by professionals and consumers alike for unsurpassed optical
performance. In addition, the ZR camcorders come equipped with
Canon’s longest zoom ever: a 35x Optical Zoom. Plus, a powerful
1000x digital zoom lets you get close to the action from even farther
away. Other features help you get the most out of the new ZRs’
impressive lenses. The image stabilizer allows you to shoot
rock-steady video, even at maximum telephoto without a tripod.
And with Canon’s smooth zoom control you’ll have three,
pre-set zoom speeds that ensure professional,
steady zoom shots.
EASY OPERATION
The new ZR camcorders come with a Joystick feature that lets you
control Play, Stop, Fast Forward, and Rewind functions during
playback. It also controls exposure lock and exposure compensation
during recording. With Quick Start (ZR830, ZR850), you’ll never miss
a shot again. Simply push the Quick Start button to put your
camcorder in Quick Start mode. Push the Quick Start button again,
and your camcorder powers up and begins to record in less
than a second. By using Quick Start, you
extend the life of your battery considerably
compared to that of regular recording mode.
Also, an easy-to-read menu system makes
the ZRs a breeze to operate. Plus,
this versatile trio is designed for
lower battery consumption —
so you can keep on recording.
BRILLIANT VIDEO
The new ZR camcorders feature Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV image
processor, which processes video and photos differently, resulting
in exceptional color and clarity for both. Other features make it easy
to record brilliant video. Capturing level, well-composed shots are
simple with these ZRs. Line up the horizon or other horizontal lines
with the Level Marker in the viewfinder for level landscapes. Or, use
the Grid Marker to help compose the perfect shot. Both markers can
be set to white or grey for enhanced visibility, no matter what the
background. The ZR850 even comes with a built-in video light so
you can record video that’s great — when the light isn’t.
MEGAPIXEL PERFORMANCE
With the ZR850 you get a 1.07 megapixel CCD image sensor which
allows for sharper video and photos.
WIDESCREEN HR RECORDING
The ZR800, ZR830 and ZR850 record true High Resolution
Widescreen for video that looks spectacular on your widescreen TV.
Canon’s Widescreen HR uses the entire width of the image sensor,
capturing a big picture in true widescreen. That means more pixels —
which translates into amazing image quality. A 2.7" widescreen
LCD and 0.35" color viewfinder let you see exactly
what your camcorder is recording and what you’ll
see on your TV. Even if you don’t have a
widescreen television at home, you can
watch video shot in widescreen HR. The video
will be displayed in letterbox format, just
like movies you buy or rent from the store.
