Easily capture life’s most precious moments with the new
ZR-series Canon camcorders. These easy-to-use MiniDV camcorders feature
Genuine Canon Optics in an affordable yet ultra-compact and sleek design
that will deliver the high level of performance you’ve come to expect
from Canon.
Canon ZR950 Highlights Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom
Now you can capture true widescreen 16:9 video with stunning image
quality from any distance -- all the way up to 48x. Canon’s exclusive
Advanced Zoom system combines Genuine Canon Optics with Canon’s
proprietary DIGIC DV Image Processor to let you seamlessly zoom both
wide and long, retaining optical quality throughout the zoom range.
1.07-megapixel CCD image sensor Whether you’re shooting video or photos, you will benefit from the camcorder’s razor-sharp CCD Image Sensor.
Quick Start
Instead of powering off your camcorder between shots, simply press the
Quick Start function to put the camcorder in stand-by mode. Quick Start
considerably reduces the power consumption of the battery and allows the
user to return to recording mode in less than a second, so you’ll never
have to miss another special moment.
Widescreen HR recording
The ZR950 records true widescreen for picture perfect video. Canon’s
image processing system uses the entire width of the image sensor,
capturing a big picture in true 16:9 widescreen so no one and nothing is
left unseen. And Canon camcorders take advantage of more pixels to give
you amazing quality.
2.7-inch widescreen LCD A widescreen LCD lets you see exactly what your camcorder is recording, and what your TV will display later.
Image stabilizer
Shoot rock-steady video -- even when you’re at maximum telephoto
without a tripod. It is even effective while panning or zooming.
LCD video light
Shooting in low light situations has never been easier with Canon’s New
LCD video light. The next time you are using your ZR950 in a dimly lit
room, simply flip over the LCD screen to face your subject and activate
the video light function. A soft light emanating from your LCD
illuminates the area in which you are shooting, allowing you to get high
quality video even in less than ideal lighting conditions.
Joystick
The joystick makes using the camcorder easier than ever. You can
control playback, focusing, exposure, and menu options from one
convenient place.
Multi-angle wireless remote Canon
gives you even more control and versatility by mounting the remote
control sensor on the ZR950’s LCD screen. Now you can activate numerous
camcorder functions, when using the remote control, from any angle that
the LCD turns.
DIGIC DV image processor Video and
photos require different image processing. Unlike other manufacturers’
camcorders which process video and photos the same way, DIGIC DV treats
them differently. This results in video and photos with exceptional
color and clarity.
Smooth zoom control With this
innovative feature, you can always be sure of smooth, steady,
professional looking zoom shots. Simply select one of three pre-set zoom
speeds. You can also select variable so you can control the speed
manually.
Level Shot and Grid Markers It's easy to keep
your ZR950 level for more professional-looking video. Simply press the
Level Shot Control button, and a horizontal marker appears in your
viewfinder. Then line up any horizontal lines in your shot to the marker
and you know your camcorder is level. The Grid marker is also very
convenient for setting up the special balance in your shots. And since
background colors vary, you can select from two line colors to make the
lines easily visible.
Built in lens cover A built-in
lens cover gives you the ability to protect your Canon video lens
without ever having the inconvenience of a dangling lens cap that’s
easily lost.
