Features

35x 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 ZR830 is no exception. It gives you clear, vibrant and brilliant video and digital photographs.

Your ZR830 camcorders come with Genuine Canon Optics, known worldwide by professionals and consumers alike for unsurpassed optical performance. In addition, the ZR camcorders come equipped with Canon's longest zoom ever: a 35x Optical Zoom. Plus, a powerful 1000x digital zoom lets you get close to the action from even farther away.

Image Stabilization
The ZR830's image stabilizer allows you to shoot rock-steady video -- even at maximum telephoto without a tripod -- for professional-looking video.

Brilliant Video
The new ZR830 features Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV image processor, which processes video and photos differently, resulting in exceptional color and clarity for both. Other features make it easy to record brilliant video.

Level and Grid Markers
Capturing level, well-composed shots is simple with the ZR830. Line up the horizon or other horizontal lines with the Level Marker in the viewfi nder for level landscapes. Or, use the Grid Marker to help compose the perfect shot. Both markers can be set to white or grey for enhanced visibility, no matter what the background.

Smooth Zoom Control
With Canon’s smooth zoom control, you’ll have three, pre-set zoom speeds that ensure professional, steady zoom shots

Widescreen HR Recording
You want your memories to last forever -- that’s why you’ve taken the time to capture them. And you want to shoot in widescreen format to get everything you can out of your new widescreen TV or home theater system.

So, why is the way you record widescreen images so important? Because you want an image made for widescreen, not adapted for widescreen. Because every HD television is widescreen -- widescreen is the future.

The story of how we do it may be a bit technical, but the result is clear to see. Canon camcorders use the entire width of the image sensor to capture video in true 16:9 format. What difference does this make? It’s simple. With more pixels captured, you get better image quality. Some competitors’ camcorders force the wider picture into a smaller space on the sensor -- giving you a less true image, with fewer pixels and lower quality. With a Canon camcorder, your videos of your travels will let you relive great memories.

In addition, the viewfi nder on your ZR830 displays your widescreen image in a letterbox view. From side to side and top to bottom, what you see is what you get. You can also view your widescreen shot in the ZR830’s large, 2.7” LCD screen or its .35” color viewfi nder. Either way, there isn’t the guessing or extra work in looking at an image that’s distorted like a fun house mirror. To make things even easier, a Widescreen Button lets you switch from standard 4:3 to 16:9 Widescreen HR at the touch of your finger. You can also use the widescreen feature with the camcorder’s advanced image stabilization.

Every one of the camcorders in Canon’s new ZR series gives you Widescreen HR Recording at a very affordable price. Why shouldn’t your camcorder shoot as wide as your widescreen TV? It should -- and it’s hard to match the widescreen video, or the value, you’ll get from your Canon ZR. Remember -- widescreen is the future. And Canon’s Widescreen HR is true widescreen that’s picture perfect.

Easy Operation
The new ZR830 comes with a variety of features that make it an easy-to-operate camcorder.

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.

Also, an easy-to-read menu system makes the ZR830 a breeze to operate.

For the ultimate in stress-free shooting, there’s the Easy Mode. In this setting, your ZR830 will automatically choose the focus, exposure and any additional available parameters to ensure that whatever you’re recording comes out looking great. You don’t have to worry about a thing -- just point and shoot!

Perfect Exposures
The new ZR830 gives you exposure controls found on expensive digital still cameras.

Exposure Lock
With a push of its convenient omni-selector joystick, the ZR830 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 ZR830 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 ZR830 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.
