Optical Performance You Can See
The name Canon is synonymous with optical excellence the world over. Brilliant optical quality is part of every Canon broadcast TV lens, 35mm film camera, digital camera and camcorder — and the ZR930 is no exception. It gives you clear, vibrant and brilliant video. The ZR930’s image stabilizer allows you to shoot rock-steady video — even at maximum telephoto without a tripod — for more professional-looking video.

Brilliant Video
The new ZR930 features Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV image processor, which processes video and photos differently, resulting in exceptional color and clarity for both. In addition, the large 2.7″ LCD screen and .35″ color viewfinder on your ZR930 displays your widescreen image in a letterbox view and make 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.

Easy Operation
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.

With Quick Start, you’ll never miss a shot again. Simply push the Quick Start button, in between shots, to put your camcorder in stand-by mode. Push the Quick Start button again, and your camcorder powers up and begins to record in less than a second. When using Quick Start, you are considerably extending the life of your battery compared to that of regular recording mode. Also, an easy-to-read menu system makes the ZR930 a breeze to operate.

The ZR930’s Multi-Angle wireless remote control means it’s easier than ever to use this convenient option. A wider ranging sensor allows the camcorder to receive instructions from the remote control unit without having to hold it close to the camcorder body, meaning you can take less time to use it when it most counts.In addition, this versatile camcorder is designed for lower battery consumption. So there’s less chance of missing the shots you want.

Perfect Exposures
Exposure Lock
With a push of its convenient omni-selector joystick, the ZR930 lets you lock your exposure settings, and then recompose your shot. For example, you can lock your exposure while zoomed in on your subject’s face. Then, even if you zoom out to include a very bright or dark background, your ZR930 will still give your subject the right exposure. Also, by shifting the omni-selector left or right, you can adjust your exposure by up to +/-11 stops (+/-2.75 EV).

Auto Slow Shutter Function
The Auto Slow Shutter function ensures perfect exposures in low light by lowering your shutter speed.

Program AE Mode
The ZR930 comes with Program AE Mode settings that give you perfect exposures in a variety of conditions: Snow, Beach, Sunset, Spotlight, Fireworks, Portrait, Sports and Night.

Share Your Video
Firewire/IEEE 1394 DV Terminal
Transfer your video to your computer and you can easily share your captured memories with friends and family. With the ZR930, it’s simple. Just connect your computer to your camcorder’s IEEE1394 DV terminal with a DV cable. Also known as Firewire or iLink, this high-speed interface lets you download your precious video footage with virtually no loss of video or audio quality. Your favorite recorded moments retain their pristine image and sound for everyone to enjoy.
