Other Features (3.0)
Video Light - The Canon FS100 has a small light on the front of the camcorder that produces a bright but bluish light. It is turned on and off in the Joystick Menu.

Digital Effect - On the FS100 you'll find the same corny effects that have been part of camcorders for years. Some are not so bad, but most look terrible. The list includes: Fade-T, Wipe, Blk&Wht, Sepia, Art, and Mosaic.

Battery Info - This feature allows you to get a quick, crucial look at the remaining battery life. Hit the Disp/Battery Info button, and it gives you the approximate life remaining in the battery (in minutes).
