The DC100 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. That means more pixels — which means amazing image quality. Plus, the Widescreen Button lets you switch from standard 4:3 to 16:9 at a single touch, while a big, 2.7" LCD screen lets you see exactly what your DC100 is recording. And, even if you don’t have a Widescreen TV, you can still watch the Widescreen HR you recorded with your DC100 on your standard television, in letterbox format. The DC100 is just

what you need to complete your home theater experience.

expertise in designing lenses for photography and broadcast television goes into every camcorder lens we make. That means your DC100 gives you video that’s rich in color and detail. The DC100 is also equipped with a built-in, high quality Image Stabilizer for rock-steady video — even when you’re recording at maximum telephoto without a tripod, or when you’re panning and zooming. Plus, the DC100’s 25x Optical Zoom Lens and 1000x Digital Zoom give you the zoom range you need to capture every shot. Whether it’s a panoramic view of a majestic landscape, or a close-up of your child on stage, you’ll get the shot with the DC100.
