The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom on the ZR930 is just the kind of
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 image processor.
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.
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.
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.

Capturing level, well-composed shots is simple with the ZR930. 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 ZR930 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 ZR930’s built-in microphone terminal allows you to use an
accessory directional 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.
With the ZR930 you get a 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor. Your video will
be sharper, clearer and more true to life. Every sunset on the beach will
be more dramatic with every color in the sky faithfully captured. The joy
on the face of a child scoring her first goal on the soccer field is
recorded just as you saw it.
The new ZR930 comes with a variety of features that make it an
easy-to-operate camcorder.
The new ZR930 gives you exposure controls found on expensive digital still
cameras.
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).
