Features:

 

Flash Memory: The ultra-sleek and compact FS40 allows you to capture video to an 8GB internal flash drive as well as to an SDXC-compatible memory card slot

Sleek, Ultra-Compact and Lightweight Design: The sleek, ultra-compact and lightweight FS40 measures only 2.1" wide, 2.3" high and 4.8" deep. This small, easy to carry camcorder will go with you everywhere you go, as it weighs only 7.8 oz

Superb Image Quality: Great looking video starts with the images your camcorder sees, processes and records. Canon's legendary technology works together in the FS40 to deliver the best at every step

Dynamic IS: With the Canon FS40, you can be sure that even on the move your video will be smooth, steady and professional looking

Advanced Video Snapshot: Canon's enhanced Advanced Video Snapshot will let you shoot short movie clips with the FS40 in the same way you've shot snapshots with your digital camera

2.7" Widescreen LCD: The 112,000 dot screen delivers bright, clear detail and the widescreen format means there's no need to imagine what your final image will look like on your widescreen television because it's not squeezed into a small space while you're shooting

Quick Start: With Quick Start you'll never miss a quickly unfolding shot again. When the FS40's LCD panel is closed, it is placed in standby

Widescreen HR: The FS40 captures and records true 16:9 High Resolution Widescreen for picture perfect video. It comes from Canon's sophisticated image processing system, which uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9 widescreen

Quick Charge: When you've got a lot to shoot but not a lot of time to recharge your batteries, the Quick Charge feature comes to the rescue. In 20 minutes, you can charge up to approximately 60 minutes of recording time! It's ultra-fast battery charging when you need it most

Pre-Record: The Pre-Record feature places your FS40 in a stand-by "pre-roll" mode. With this feature the camcorder continuously records three seconds of video to memory before you even press the record button

Program AE: You'll take the compact, lightweight FS40 wherever you go, so to give you the best exposure settings for different conditions and subjects, automatically, you'll have Program AE

Connectivity: To maximize the usefulness and versatility of the FS40, you'll find an A/V mini-terminal to easily view the recorded video on your television. The FS40 is also equipped with a USB port for direct transfer of your video and photos to your computer for editing or online sharing

The built-in Mini Video Light greatly improves the quality of your video shot in low light conditions

Pixela Video Browser Software: The FS40 camcorder is bundled with a powerful software suite. Pixela Video Browser lets you play back your recorded video on your computer

Intelligent Lithium-ion Battery: The Intelligent Lithium-ion battery not only accurately tracks remaining battery life, it also gives a display in minutes remaining. It will allow you to better plan your shooting, so you won't be caught out with a battery that suddenly goes from "half" to "empty"

Built-in Electronic Lens Cover: The built-in Electronic Lens Cover means you never have to go looking for your lens cover again. Turn your camcorder on and the lens cover automatically opens. Turn it off and the cover closes
