Increase the Life of your Camcorder

The high-resolution LCD view screen allows you to see your subject in living color as you shoot, making it easier to compose each scene for maximum impact.
Optical 22x Zoom and Digital 700x Zoom.
The ES420V’s powerful 22x zoom lens transforms distant scenes into dramatic close ups with absolutely no loss of image quality. The Extra Long Digital Zoom magnifies to 700x, revealing details too distant to be seen by the naked eye.
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.
Point-and-Shoot.
When the great video opportunity arises, you may not have time to deal with manual settings. Fortunately, the ES420V can take care of all these details for you. Simply turn it 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.
Preset Titler Function
Effortlessly select one of the 5 preset titles such as “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to match the occasion.
