exception. It gives you clear, vibrant and brilliant video.

want an image made for widescreen, not adapted for widescreen. Because
every HD television is widescreen — widescreen is the future.

Capturing level, well-composed shots is simple with the ZR900. Line up the
horizon or other horizontal lines with the Level Marker in the viewfinder
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.
The ZR900 even comes with a video light built-in to the LCD screen to help
give a soft, even light to a nearby subject when you’re shooting in
dark conditions.
The ZR900’s built-in microphone terminal allows you to use an
accessory microphone with the camcorder. This feature is especially useful
for educators or trainers who need to cleanly record audio for
documentation purposes in which a clear voice must be heard. It is also
handy for a home video in which you want to record a narration without
interference from background noises. You also have the choice of using the
built-in microphone as well.
The new ZR900 comes with a variety of features that make it an
easy-to-operate camcorder.
The new ZR900 gives you exposure controls found on expensive digital still
cameras.
With a push of its convenient omni-selector joystick, the ZR900 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,

ZR900 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).
