DV Format

MiniDV is the new preferred format for personal and broadcast-quality video, highly regarded for its high audio and image quality.

22x Optical Zoom Lens (ZR70 MC ) 20x Optical Zoom Lens (ZR65 MC ) 18x Optical Zoom Lens (ZR60)
What sets a Canon camcorder apart from all the others? Its the only camcorder made by a company renowned for high-quality professional optics. Our vast expertise in designing and crafting precision lenses for 35mm and broadcast TV cameras also goes into every camcorder lens we make. The ZR70 MC , ZR65 MC and ZR60s optical zoom lens delivers superb definition and contrast, taking full advantage of the DV format. The digital zoom extends the camcorders magnification revealing details too small to see with the naked eye. With the ZR70 MC , you can attach the supplied WA-30.5 Wide Attachment which decreases the focal length by a factor of 0.6, giving you a wide perspective for indoor shots or panoramic views.

Image Stabilizer

A high quality image stabilization system corrects camcorder shake instantly, so your videos always look smooth, steady and natural even when shooting hand-held at full telephoto.

Program Auto Exposure

While the Easy Recording mode is fine for most shooting situations, the camcorder also includes additional preprogrammed auto exposure modes (Auto, Sports, Portrait, Spotlight, Sand & Snow, Low Light and Night mode), each carefully designed to give you the best possible image results under special shooting conditions. In situations normally too dark for recording, the camcorder uses the Night mode to select the ideal shutter speed and sensitivity combination to brighten up the scene, without sacrificing color.

Manual Controls

The fully-automatic ZR70 MC , ZR65 MC and ZR60 gives great results even in the hands of a novice, while experts will appreciate the manual focus, exposure, white balance and shutter speed controls.

File Numbers

Images are automatically assigned file numbers from 0101 to 9900 and stored in folders containing up to 100 images. Folders are assigned numbers from 101 to 998. (The sample images on the supplied memory card are saved in the [100canon] folder.) You can choose to use consecutive file numbers (CONTINUOUS) or to reset the file
number each time a different memory card is inserted (RESET). We recommend setting the file numbers to CONTINUOUS.

(If a higher file number already exists on the memory card, the consecutive number will be assigned.) There will be no duplication of file numbers. This is useful for organizing images on a computer.
The file number will be reset each time a new memory card is inserted, starting with 101-0101. If the memory card already contains image files, the consecutive file number will be assigned. 102

Maintenance
Camcorder Handling Precautions
Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel or viewfinder. Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures, such as a sunheated car, and high humidity. Do not use the camcorder in places subject to magnetic or electric fields such as near the TV transmitters or portable communication devices. Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources. Do not leave the camcorder pointed at a bright subject. Do not use the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. Dust or sand getting inside the cassette or camcorder may cause damage. Dust and sand can also damage the lens. Attach the lens cap after use. The camcorder is not waterproof. Water, mud or salt getting inside the cassette or camcorder may cause damage. Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment. Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel. Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks or vibration as this may cause damage. Avoid sudden changes in temperature. Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation to form on its internal surfaces. ( 143)

Storage

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 86F (30C). After storage, check the functions of your camcorder to make sure that the camcorder is still working properly.
