35x optical zoom lens
Whether you’re enjoying a sports event, musical performance or family occasion, the DC220 helps you get closer to the action. Record superb movies straight to DVD (-R/-RW/-R DL) using the 35x optical zoom for precise image quality; the 1000x digital zoom provides even more magnification. An Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) reduces camera shake when recording.
High resolution widescreen
The CCD employed in the DC220 allows you to capture eye-catching true widescreen video. Frame and review your movies using the 2.7" widescreen LCD or the 0.27" 16:9 colour EVF (Electronic Viewfinder).
DIGIC DV II
Record a video and capture a digital photo simultaneously with the super-fast DIGIC DV II processor. Originally developed for use in Canon’s High Definition (HD) camcorders, advanced noise reduction technology results in higher image quality. DIGIC DV II’s split path processing means pictures and movies have vivid true-to-life colours.
DVD-R Dual Layer
Increase the recording capacity of the camcorder by using DVD-R Dual Layer discs. You’ll find you can store an impressive 108 minutes at the most efficient setting.
