From the Manufacturer

Canon’s technological innovation has for decades delivered optical excellence, advanced image processing and top performance, from photographic and broadcast television cameras to our complete line of consumer camcorders.

We’re proud to offer another of our latest, the Canon FS200 Flash Memory camcorder. It’s among the most affordable ways to get stunning video in a light, compact and user-friendly package. As employed in advanced electronic products such as laptop computers, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones, Flash Memory has numerous benefits. Adding to the usefulness of this camcorder is Canon’s Quick Charge – which reduces the recharge time for the FS200′s battery and Pre-Record gives you a head start on capturing the action.

With the FS200′s Canon Exclusive features such as Canon 41x Advanced Zoom and our DIGIC DV II Image Processor, combined with a 680k CCD image sensor, Image Stabilization and a 2.7-inch Widescreen LCD and our new Quick Charge feature- you’ve got a Flash Memory camcorder that’s hard to beat, very affordable and still unmistakably Canon.

Ultra-Sleek, Compact and Lightweight Design

Making this technology even more convenient to use is the FS200′s compact size and light weight. Measuring only 2.2 inches wide, 2.3 inches high and 4.8 inches deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry camcorder weighing only 7.9 ounces.

In addition to the advantage of added recording time, Flash Memory, as found in the FS200, 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 FS200 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.

Canon Exclusive: Genuine 41x Advanced Zoom

The Genuine Canon 41x Advanced Zoom on the FS200 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.

Variable Zoom Speed Control Another sure sign of amateur video is the unsteady zoom shot. But with the FS200′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 FS200′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

Program AE For the best exposure for various situations, the FS200′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 FS200 will do it for you.

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 FS200′s built-in 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 FS200 captures all the moments you want to record.
