Brilliant Video
The new ZR900 features Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV image processor,
which results in exceptional color and clarity in your video.
Widescreen HR Recording
So, why is the way you record widescreen images so important? Because
you want an image made for widescreen, not adapted for widescreen.
Because every HD television is widescreen -- widescreen is the future.
The story of how we do it may be a bit technical, but the
result is clear to see. Canon camcorders use the entire width
of the image sensor to capture video in true 16:9 format.
What difference does this make? It’s simple. With more pixels captured, you get better
image quality. Some competitors’ camcorders force the wider picture into a smaller
space on the sensor -- giving you a less true image, with fewer pixels and lower quality.
In addition, the large 2.7” LCD screen and .35” color viewfi nder on your ZR900
displays your widescreen image in a letterbox view and makes it easier to see all
that you’re shooting. From side to side and top to bottom, what you see is what you
get. Either way, there isn’t the guessing or extra work in looking at an image that’s
distorted like a fun house mirror.
These other features make it easy to record brilliant video.
Smooth Zoom Control
With Canon’s smooth zoom control, you’ll have three, pre-set zoom speeds that ensure professional,
steady zoom shots.
