1.07 Megapixel CameraThe FS200 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.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 FS200's 9 Point AiAF will automatically
select from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into
sharp focus.Like any good digital still camera, the FS200
lets you choose from a range of exposure modes. Auto mode automatically
sets the exposure, letting you concentrate on your subject. TV (shutter
priority) mode lets you select the shutter speed for sharp, action
shots. In P (program) mode, the camcorder adjusts camera settings
automatically.
2.7" Widescreen LCD
The 2.7" Widescreen LCD on the FS200 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.
Canon Exclusive: Genuine 41x Advanced ZoomThe 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.

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 FS200 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 a 37x Optical Zoom or 2000x Digital 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.
Flash MemoryIn 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.
Another plus is the FS200'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 FS200 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 found in other camcorders.
Ultra-Sleek, Compact and Lightweight DesignMaking this technology even more convenient to use is the FS200's compact size and light weight. Measuring only 2.2" wide, 2.3" high and 4.8" deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry camcorder weighing only 7.9oz.
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. 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 FS200 an exceptional performer.
Thanks to Canon DIGIC DV II image processing, the FS200 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 FS200. You can shoot five 1024 x 768 still images per second, and enjoy faster processing of your images to the FS200's memory card. It also helps lower power consumption for longer battery life.
Superb Shooting Control - Video Snapshot, Quick Start, Dual ShotVideo Snapshot Mode
The Video Snapshot Mode of the FS200 will let you shoot short movie
clips in the same way you've shot snapshots with your still camera.
Simply capture a series of 4-second video clips, blend in one of 10
supplied music tracks, or your favorite background music, and create an
entertaining movie that will hold everyone's attention. It's the
perfect way to document your vacation or a family milestone.
Quick Start
Never miss a quickly unfolding shot again. When the FS200 is in Camera
Mode and the LCD panel is closed, it is placed in standby mode. When
the action starts, open the LCD panel and you'll begin recording in
less than one second. You'll also help extend your battery life as
compared to leaving the camcorder in regular recording mode.
Widescreen HR Recording
The FS200 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 it make?
It's simple. The more pixels captured, the better your final image
quality is.
Quick Charge
When you've got a lot to shoot but not a lot of time to recharge your
batteries, the Quick Charge feature comes to the rescue. In 20 minutes,
you can charge up to approximately 60 minutes of recording time! It's
ultra-fast battery charging when you need it most.
Dual Shot
Dual Shot Mode makes capturing video and photos faster and easier than
ever. Both types of images can be captured in the same mode - without
requiring any switching. This ensures you will be ready to capture the
action when it starts helping you to avoid the chance of a missed shot.
Image Stabilizer
Canon's industry-leading image stabilization will give your video a
more professional look, with rock-steady shots, even when you're
shooting at maximum telephoto range.
Pre-record
The Pre-record feature places your FS200 in a stand-by "pre-roll" mode.
With this feature the camcorder continuously records three seconds of
video to memory before you even press the record button. When you start
recording, the additional video is recorded too, It will be easier than
ever to capture the moment when the bat hits the ball at the start of
that home run.

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 ControlAnother 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 MarkersWith 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 ModeFor 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 PerformanceSome 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.
DVD Burner CompatibleYou can also easily burn DVDs of the video shot with your FS200 as it
is compatible with Canon's 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.
