Genuine Canon Optics
Because of Genuine Canon Optics, the name Canon is synonymous with unsurpassed optical performance. Brilliant optical quality is part of every Canon broadcast TV camera, 35mm film camera, and camcorder — and the ZR500 is no exception.
Canon’s Exclusive DIGIC DV
The ZR500 delivers stunningly vivid video thanks to Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing circuit. A variety of other features help you shoot video that will impress all your friends and family.
Relive Those Low-Light Moments
Thanks to the Canon Night Mode feature, you can easily capture low-light images with the press of a button. Night Mode automatically selects a slow shutter speed and increases the sensitivity of the CCD to brighten up the image, while still preserving color. With Night Mode, what you record is closer to what your eye sees.
Catch All The Action Without Shake
In addition, the bright 2.7″ LCD view screen makes it easy to compose sensational shots without having to squint into the viewfinder. You can rotate the screen for high-or low-angle shots, or turn it around 180 to record yourself. When you’re done shooting, the screen is perfect for reviewing your scenes.

Features

* Level Shot Control
Tired of shots that aren’t level or subjects that aren’t centered? Simply turn on the ZR500’s Level Shot Control — and horizontal and center markers will appear in your viewfinder. With these markers, it’s easy to level the horizon for perfect video footage of a breathtaking landscape, or keep your child in the center of the frame while they’re on the soccer field.
* Exposure Lock
With a push of the ZR500’s omni-selector, you can lock your exposure settings, then recompose your shot. For example, you can lock your exposure while zoomed in on your subject. Then, even if you zoom out and include a very bright or dark background, your ZR500 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).
* Share your Videos
Otherwise known as Firewire or iLink, the ZR500’s IEEE 1394 DV Terminal is a high-speed digital interface that ensures virtually no loss of video or audio quality when transferring videos to a computer. Simply use a DV cable to connect the camcorder to your computer’s DV Terminal and you can be sure that your favorite, recorded moments retain their pristine image and sound.
