ES970 - 8mm Video Camera |
 You've
never been closer to your subjects than when you're holding the ES970.
It features the world's longest optical zoom lens - 22X
- and it's exclusively available from Canon. You'll transform distant
subjects into dramatic close-ups in as little as 3 seconds; especially
subjects too far away to be seen by the bare eye. Canon's Optical Image
Stabilization System is the perfect match for this ultra-powerful
zoom. You'll record smooth, steady images while in full stride or shooting
from a moving vehicle which will enhance your enjoyment during playback
on TV. Other features designed to increase your videomaking and viewing
pleasure include our exclusive Flexizone and Auto Editing Functions.
Using FlexiZone you'll easily archieve focusing and exposure results that
will surprise your audience. And the built-in Auto Editor helps you create
a personal masterpiece by discarding any bloopers or blunders that occur
while recording.
The
ES970 contains other features intended to keep you involved in the action
including Programmed Auto Exposure and a high resolution Color Viewfinder.
Specific Programmed AE modes adjust the picture brightness level when
recording in video sensitive surroundings such as fast action sports,
stage plays or concerts or days at sea side or ski slope. And the color
viewfinder makes it easy to compose a shot and distinguish your subject
by color. Outstanding clarity is achieved in this 8mm model whether recording
mountain tops or a jewelry collection thanks to the Digital Signal Processing
Circuit. It delivers distinct detail throughout a wide dynamic range and
even handles quick changes in shooting conditions including temperature.
Features
The
Canon ES970 8mm camcorder incorporates state-of-the-art technology and
many exclusive features competitive models cannot match. It offers exceptional
value for both first-time buyers and experienced videographers seeking
to upgrade their capabilities and achieve better results.
- Optical
22X Zoom Lens offers greater imaging flexibility than ever before. As
the world's longest camcorder zoom lens, the ES970 has a 35mm focal
length equivalent of a 789mm lens! Plus, a rotary zoom control allows
for easy optical zooming from the tightest telephoto shot to a sweeping
panoramic view at any speed between 3 and 21 seconds.
- Optical
Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake instantly. You'll get smooth,
stable pictures even on long telephoto shots without using a tripod.
A system consisting of a transparent prism, vibration sensors and a
dedicated microprocessor detect unintentional movement and correct the
shape of the prism before the image reaches the lens. This optical method
eliminates the negative side effects of other stabilization technologies
that manipulate image data to correct shake.
- FlexiZone
Auto Focus/Auto Exposure technology allows greater control and keeps
subjects in focus and properly exposed. Canon knows your subjects will
move off-center and that you'll sometimes be shooting in less-than-ideal
conditions. FlexiZone technology provides split-second response to keep
your subject in perfect focus and optimally exposed anywhere within
the frame and sets the exposure for the same subject too.
- High
Resolution Color Viewfinder features 113,000 pixels. You'll see exactly
what you're shooting in living color, making it easy to compose each
scene for maximum impact. You'll get better recordings, and have more
fun in the process.
- Programmed
Auto Exposure offers users a choice of recording programs that best
suit specific lighting conditions. In addition to an Easy Recording
mode, four special exposure modes are designed to match diverse subjects
and lighting conditions to provide the best possible image quality.
Select Sports for fast action scenes, Portrait to emphasize the subject
and soften backgrounds, Spotlight for shooting concerts or when subjects
are bathed in bright lights and Sand/Snow for shooting at bright beaches
and ski resorts where reflected light is intense.
- Auto Editing
Capabilities allow you to shorten, delete and reorder scenes to create
beautifully edited programs on virtually any VCR. A display appearing
on your TV screen indicates cut-in and cut-out times as programmed via
the ES970's remote control.
- AFM Stereo
Sound provides a hi-fi quality sound track to match the high quality
images captured by the ES970. For greater audio control there's even
external microphone and headphone jacks.
- 2 Custom
Keys allow you to personalize the ES970 to fit your shooting style.
You can actually select two of 16 frequently accessed features and dedicate
two physical keys on the camera body for one-touch access, eliminating
programming errors and enhancing convenience.
- Built-in
Titler lets users write titles and superimpose them onto recordings
with the ES970's character generator. The ES970 also offers a choice
of adding the date and time in three different display modes.
- Quality
VCR Performance means you'll get the same quality playback you'd expect
from a high quality VCR including full remote control operation and
the ability to record directly from a television or another VCR.
- 1 Year
Warranty on all parts and labor included.
