Flash Memory Camcorder

Item Code: 2699B001

Overview

From Canon’s long history of optical excellence, advanced image processing, superb performance

and technological innovation in photographic and broadcast television cameras comes the latest in

camcorders.

Now, with the light, compact Canon FS100, you can have stunning video with the ease and numerous

beneﬁts of Flash Memory, at an affordable price. Flash Memory is used in some of the world’s most

innovative electronic products such as laptop computers, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones. It’s just

the thing for catching more of your life’s most special moments.

In addition you’ll get the FS100’s Canon Exclusive features such as Canon 48x Advanced Zoom

and our DIGIC DV II Image Processor, combined with a 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor, Image

Stabilization and a 2.7” Widescreen LCD. You can even choose the color for your FS100 that suits

you best. It comes in a choice of three colors, Moonstone Silver, Sapphire Blue and Garnet Wine. It’s

truly a Flash Memory camcorder that’s both hard to beat and unmistakably Canon.

Features

Flash Memory in a Compact Size

The FS100 is one of Canon’s ﬁrst 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 ﬁeld 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.

Megapixel Performance

With the FS100 you get a powerful 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be

sharp, clear and more true to life, as will your still photos. You’ll capture every dramatic color in a

sunset at the beach and see more clearly than ever the happiness on the face of your child as she

scores the winning goal in the big game. Relive your memories just as they happened.

Canon Exclusive: Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom

The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom on the FS100

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.

There’s practically no loss in image quality through an extraordinary range of zoom, so you’ll get

good, clear shots as you follow that sailboat race around the harbor or catch every step of that toddler

scrambling across the lawn.

The FS100 offers you more ﬂexibility to get just the shot you need by giving you the choice of

Advanced Zoom in default mode or you can select 37x Optical Zoom. You will always be able to

get the shot you need, no matter how close or far away and always with the quality you expect from

Canon.

Canon Exclusive: DIGIC DV II Image Processor

The Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor is the next generation of Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV

signal processing technology. Designed speciﬁcally for HD, DIGIC DV II ensures optimal image

quality. It also ensures optimal image quality for still images, even though video and still images have

different color requirements. DIGIC DV II is just another one of Canon’s advanced technologies that

make the FS100 an exceptional performer.

Thanks to Canon DIGIC DV II image processing, the FS100 produces video with improved color

reproduction -- especially in skin tones, and dark and light scenes. It also uses a hybrid noise

reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction -- for video images that are crystal clear.

Regardless of your subject or setting, there’s no worry about capturing them more closely to the way

they appear in front of you.

Plus, the Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor features improved continuous shooting of digital

photographs with the FS100. You can shoot ﬁve 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy faster

processing of your images to your memory card. It also helps lower power consumption for longer

battery life.

2.7” Widescreen LCD

The 2.7” Widescreen LCD on the FS100 lets you see more of what your

camcorder is recording. There’s no need to imagine what your ﬁnal image will look

like on your widescreen television because it’s squeezed into a small space while

you’re shooting. What you see will be what you get.

Page 7

Superb Shooting Control

Widescreen HR Recording

The FS100 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. What difference

does.

Joystick Control

The Joystick makes using the camcorder easier than ever. Extra buttons

have been eliminated, allowing you to access many functions from one

convenient place. The Joystick lets you control Play, Stop, Fast Forward,

and Rewind functions during playback. It also controls exposure lock and

exposure compensation during recording.

Variable Zoom Speed Control

Another sure sign of amateur video is the unsteady zoom shot. But with the FS100’s zoom control,

you simply select one of three pre-set zoom speeds for smooth, steady, professional looking zooms.

Page 8

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 FS100’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

For the best exposure for various situations, the FS100’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 FS100 will do it for you.

Quick Start

Never miss a quickly unfolding shot again. Push the Quick Start button between shots and it places

the FS100 in standby mode. When the action starts, push the Quick Start button again to begin

recording in less than one second. You’ll also help extend your battery life over leaving the camcorder

in regular recording mode.

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 FS100’s mini 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

FS100 captures all the moments you want to record.

DVD Burner Compatible

You can also easily burn DVDs of the video shot with your FS100 as it is compatible with Canon’s

new DW-100 DVD Burner. A one cable connection is all it takes to send the ﬁles across and with the

click of a few buttons, your videos will be burned to a disc ready to play in a compatible DVD player.

Stunning Digital Photography

The FS100 has many advanced photo features which make it

a camera that rivals other state-of-the-art digital cameras. You

get the best of both video and photos.

Megapixel Photos

The same Megapixel CCD that ensures sharp, vivid video also gives you

brilliant digital photographs. You will be able to capture outstanding digital

photographs with a resolution of 1152 x 684 for sharp, crisp still images.

Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor

Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV II Image Processor features improved

continuous shooting of digital photographs with the FS100. You can shoot

ﬁve 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy faster processing of your

images to your memory card.

Focus Features

Auto Intelligent Auto Focus (AiAF) ensures sharp images and gives creative ﬂexibility. Even when

your subject isn’t in the center of the frame, the FS100’s 9 Point AiAF will automatically select from 9

metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp focus.

Auto Exposure Modes

Like any good digital still camera, the FS100 lets you choose

from a range of exposure modes. Auto mode automatically

sets the exposure, letting you concentrate on your subject.

AV (aperture priority) mode lets you control depth of ﬁeld by

letting you choose the aperture. TV (shutter priority) mode

lets you select the shutter speed for sharp, action shots. In

P (program) mode, the camcorder adjusts camera settings

automatically.

Page 11

Program AE Mode

Your life happens everywhere, so the FS100 gives you settings that

automatically result in the best exposure settings for different conditions and

different subjects.

Portrait mode ensures shallow depth of ﬁeld for a pleasing background to

your shots of friends and family. Sports mode stops the action with faster

shutter speeds. Night mode is designed to give you great shots after the

sun goes down. Snow and Beach modes compensate for bright surroundings and give you the proper

exposure on your subject. Sunset mode results in vibrant, well-exposed colors for one of the toughest

subjects to capture. Use Spotlight mode when your child is on stage and in the spotlight -- literally

-- and you want to make sure the exposure is right for them. And, Fireworks mode records brilliant

images of another tough subject: the holiday ﬁreworks display.

Level and Grid Markers

With the Level Marker feature, it’s easy to keep

your camera level for more professional looking

photographs. 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 FS100’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.
