The top-quality Canon lens magnifies your creative possibilities. Its powerful optical zoom range covers everything from sweeping panoramas to action-grabbing telephoto shots. The high quality digital zoom increases the magnification to 700x - for even more dramatic results.

Image Stabilizer
A high quality image stabilization system corrects camera shake instantly, giving you smooth, stable pictures. It enables you to record shake-free images, even on long telephoto shots without a tripod.

Photo Mode
You can record still pictures like a photograph for approximately 7 seconds.

2.5-inch Color LCD Screen
A LCD view screen makes it easy for you to shoot colorful, well composed video. With the ability to rotate the view screen up to 180 degrees, it's easy to compose low or high angle shots or include yourself in the frame. It is also ideal for playback.

Built-in Video Light
With the ES8200V, fading light doesn't mean an end to the day's recording. Thanks to the built-in video light, you'll get clear, colorful images even in complete darkness! You don't have to worry about carrying and connecting any extra equipment.

FlexiZone AF/AE
Because your subjects will often be off center and you will encounter less than ideal shooting conditions, Canon developed the exclusive FlexiZone AF/AE. Simply use the FlexiZone controller to align the "FlexiZone" in the viewfinder with your subject. You'll achieve perfect focus and exposure anywhere within the frame.

Programmed Auto-Exposure
The ES8200V's Auto mode is ideal for everyday recording. There are also four special exposure programs, designed to match diverse subjects and shooting conditions for the best possible image quality.

Point-and-Shoot Simplicity
When that great video opportunity arises, you may not have time to deal with focus, exposure and white balance. Fortunately, the ES8200V can take care of all these details for you. Simply turn the camcorder on and you're ready to record.

Time Base Corrector
Digitally processes the video signal for a more stable picture. This ensures better playback for viewing or copying.

Digital Effects
Give variety and impact to your recordings by adding Art*, Black & White*, Sepia* and Negative conversion, Mirror, Mosaic, 16:9, Cinema, Strobe and Ghost effects at the touch of a button.

* Also available during playback.
