FeaturesFlash Memory in a Compact Size
The FS100 is one of Canon’s fi rst 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 fi eld 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.
A Class 2 or higher card is recommended. Also, movie recording requires cards with 128 MB of
memory or more. Cards made by Toshiba, SanDisk or Matsushita are recommended. No particular
restrictions apply for still images.
