Helpful Downloads
For The FS100S:
From Canon's long history
of optical excellence, advanced image processing, superb performance and technological
innovation in photographic and broadcast television cameras comes the latest
in camcorders.
Now, with the light, compact
Canon FS100, you can have stunning video with the ease and numerous benefits
of Flash Memory, at an affordable price. Flash Memory is used in some of the
world's most innovative electronic products such as laptop computers, MP3 players,
PDAs and cell phones. It's just the thing for catching more of your life's most
special moments.
In addition you'll get the
FS100's Canon Exclusive features such as Canon 48x Advanced Zoom and our DIGIC
DV II Image Processor, combined with a 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor, Image
Stabilization and a 2.7" Widescreen LCD. You can even choose the color for your
FS100 that suits you best. It comes in a choice of three colors, Moonstone Silver,
Sapphire Blue and Garnet Wine. It's truly a Flash Memory camcorder that's both
hard to beat and unmistakably Canon.
Flash Memory in a Compact
Size
The FS100 is one of Canon's
first and most affordable Flash Memory camcorders.
In addition to the advantage
of added recording time, Flash Memory offers more to you as well. You'll appreciate
its quick response time, because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. Press
the record button and your FS100 starts recording video faster than you've ever
seen before. In addition, when you review your footage, it will start playing
more quickly as well.
Another plus is the FS100's
lower power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. It's just
what you need so you don't miss that pivotal play on the field or the moment
when they say "I do".
While we certainly hope
you keep your FS100 securely in your hand while shooting, if it happens to slip,
or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that
Flash Memory makes your camcorder more shock resistant than other recording
storage systems. It also minimizes the chance of data loss due to damage to
your recording media or the moving parts in other camcorders.
Making this new technology
even more convenient to use is the FS100's compact size and light weight. Measuring
only 2.3" wide, 2.4" high and 4.9" deep, it combines big video storage capacity
in a small, easy to carry body.
Megapixel Performance
With the FS100 you get a
powerful 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be sharp,
clear and more true to life, as will your still photos. You'll capture every
dramatic color in a sunset at the beach and see more clearly than ever the happiness
on the face of your child as she scores the winning goal in the big game. Relive
your memories just as they happened.
Canon Exclusive: Genuine
Canon 48x Advanced Zoom
The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced
Zoom on the FS100 is just the kind of exclusive Canon feature you've come to
expect from the leader in imaging and optics. Advanced Zoom extends the power
of your zoom and is the longest zoom Canon has ever offered. In both wide angle
and telephoto positions, there is virtually no loss in image quality throughout
the range. How is this accomplished? With a Genuine Canon lens which remains
in constant motion through the entire extended zoom range aided by our proprietary
DIGIC DV II image processor.
There's practically no loss
in image quality through an extraordinary range of zoom, so you'll get good,
clear shots as you follow that sailboat race around the harbor or catch every
step of that toddler scrambling across the lawn.
The FS100 offers you more
flexibility to get just the shot you need by giving you the choice of Advanced
Zoom in default mode or you can select 37x Optical Zoom. You will always be
able to get the shot you need, no matter how close or far away and always with
the quality you expect from Canon.
Canon Exclusive: DIGIC
DV II Image Processor
The Canon DIGIC DV II Image
Processor is the next generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing
technology. Designed specifically for HD, DIGIC DV II ensures optimal image
quality. It also ensures optimal image quality for still images, even though
video and still images have different color requirements. DIGIC DV II is just
another one of Canon's advanced technologies that make the FS100 an exceptional
performer.
Thanks to Canon DIGIC DV
II image processing, the FS100 produces video with improved color reproduction
-- especially in skin tones, and dark and light scenes. It also uses a hybrid
noise reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction -- for video
images that are crystal clear. Regardless of your subject or setting, there's
no worry about capturing them more closely to the way they appear in front of
you.
Plus, the Canon DIGIC DV
II Image Processor features improved continuous shooting of digital photographs
with the FS100. You can shoot five 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy
faster processing of your images to your memory card. It also helps lower power
consumption for longer battery life.
2.7" Widescreen LCD
The 2.7" Widescreen LCD
on the FS100 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. There's
no need to imagine what your final image will look like on your widescreen television
because it's squeezed into a small space while you're shooting. What you see
will be what you get.
Superb Shooting Control
Widescreen HR Recording
The FS100 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. What
difference does it make? It's simple. The more pixels which are captured, the
better your final image quality is.
Joystick Control
The Joystick makes using
the camcorder easier than ever. Extra buttons have been eliminated, allowing
you to access many functions from one convenient place. The Joystick lets you
control Play, Stop, Fast Forward, and Rewind functions during playback. It also
controls exposure lock and exposure compensation during recording.
Variable Zoom Speed Control
Another sure sign of amateur
video is the unsteady zoom shot. But with the FS100's zoom control, you simply
select one of three pre-set zoom speeds for smooth, steady, professional looking
zooms.
Level and Grid Markers
With the Level Marker feature,
it's easy to keep your camera level for more professional looking video. Line
up any horizontal lines in your shot -- such as the horizon -- to the marker
and you can be sure your camcorder is level.
The FS100's Grid Marker
feature lets you compose your shot accurately, according to the grid in your
viewfinder. You can even choose from two different colors for the grid. This
ensures that you see the grid, no matter what the background color of your shot
is.
Program AE Mode
For the best exposure for
various situations, the FS100's Program AE mode will automatically adjust the
settings to compensate for the conditions and subject. Choose from Portrait,
Sports, Night, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Spotlight and Fireworks. You won't have
to guess if you're capturing all the action just the way you want it because
the FS100 will do it for you.
Quick Start
Never miss a quickly unfolding
shot again. Push the Quick Start button between shots and it places the FS100
in standby mode. When the action starts, push the Quick Start button again to
begin recording in less than one second. You'll also help extend your battery
life over leaving the camcorder in regular recording mode.
Low Light Performance
Some of the most magical
shots are taken at the end of the day or long after the sun has set. You won't
miss any of them, thanks to the FS100's mini video light. The light lets you
shoot subjects in color in low light up to 4.9 feet away. So, whether it's a
shot of a sleeping baby, or a dramatic skyline at night, the FS100 captures
all the moments you want to record.
DVD Burner Compatible
You can also easily burn
DVDs of the video shot with your FS100 as it is compatible with Canon's new
DW-100 DVD Burner. A one cable connection is all it takes to send the files
across and with the click of a few buttons, your videos will be burned to a
disc ready to play in a compatible DVD player.
Stunning Digital Photography
The FS100 has many advanced
photo features which make it a camera that rivals other state-of-the-art digital
cameras. You get the best of both video and photos.
Megapixel Photos
The same Megapixel CCD that
ensures sharp, vivid video also gives you brilliant digital photographs. You
will be able to capture outstanding digital photographs with a resolution of
1152 x 684 for sharp, crisp still images.
Canon DIGIC DV II Image
Processor
Canon's exclusive DIGIC
DV II Image Processor features improved continuous shooting of digital photographs
with the FS100. You can shoot five 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy
faster processing of your images to your memory card.
Focus Features
Auto Intelligent Auto Focus
(AiAF) ensures sharp images and gives creative flexibility. Even when your subject
isn't in the center of the frame, the FS100's 9 Point AiAF will automatically
select from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp
focus.
Auto Exposure Modes
Like any good digital still
camera, the FS100 lets you choose from a range of exposure modes. Auto mode
automatically sets the exposure, letting you concentrate on your subject. AV
(aperture priority) mode lets you control depth of field by letting you choose
the aperture. TV (shutter priority) mode lets you select the shutter speed for
sharp, action shots. In P (program) mode, the camcorder adjusts camera settings
automatically.
Program AE Mode
Your life happens everywhere,
so the FS100 gives you settings that automatically result in the best exposure
settings for different conditions and different subjects.
Portrait mode ensures shallow
depth of field for a pleasing background to your shots of friends and family.
Sports mode stops the action with faster shutter speeds. Night mode is designed
to give you great shots after the sun goes down. Snow and Beach modes compensate
for bright surroundings and give you the proper exposure on your subject. Sunset
mode results in vibrant, well-exposed colors for one of the toughest subjects
to capture. Use Spotlight mode when your child is on stage and in the spotlight
-- literally -- and you want to make sure the exposure is right for them. And,
Fireworks mode records brilliant images of another tough subject: the holiday
fireworks display.
Level and Grid Markers
With the Level Marker feature,
it's easy to keep your camera level for more professional looking photographs.
Line up any horizontal lines in your shot -- such as the horizon -- to the marker
and you can be sure your camcorder is level.
The FS100's Grid Marker
feature lets you compose your shot accurately, according to the grid in your
viewfinder. You can even choose from two different colors for the grid. This
ensures that you see the grid, no matter what the background color of your shot
is.
