Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS)

Our OIS system compensates "camcorder shake" effectively without any of the quality loss associated with digital image stabilisation systems

Three 1/5" Progressive Scan CCDs

Three individual 1/5-inch CCDs - one for each primary colour - gather more visual information to deliver more realistic colour reproduction.

HD Gigabrid Engine

Uses five digital noise-reduction algorithms as well as signal processing to improve vertical scan resolution by approx. 30% over JVC's previous interlace technology, for an extremely clear, sharp image.

1080/50P output

Using the same technology as DynaPix HD displays, this function outputs a 1080 scanning line image at progressive 50fps, so you can enjoy uncompromising picture quality on a TV that accepts 1080P input.

HDMI™ (V.1.3 with x.v.Colour™)

The output signal features a wider colour space through application of the xvYCC colour standard, knows as x.v.Colour™. This universal standard provides more accurate colour reproduction with more detail and more shades. Among the colours that the human eye is capable of perceiving, x.v.Colour™ can display 100% of them, whereas the traditional (sRGB) system can only display approx. 55%.

Variety of shooting assist functions

HD Everio™ offers a wide array of assist functions to shoot HD video more precisely, conveniently and creatively.

Focus Assist Function

Focus Assist outlines in-focus image contours in colour so you can easily tell which parts of the image are in or out of focus.

Zebra Function

Displays a striped pattern across highlighted areas on the image, making it easier to set the exposure manually.

FUJINON Professional Optical Zoom Lens

An extremely high-performance lens developed by the leader in professional HD broadcast and motion picture cameras. It offers nearly the same brightness (F1.8-F1.9) throughout its entire 10x optical zoom range.

More storage and easy transfer with microSD

Everio™ has a microSD card slot, so you can store video and stills on both the built-in HDD and a commonly available memory card (not supplied). Copy video and stills from the built-in HDD to the microSD card and vice versa - sharing has never been easier.

Note: to record video, a microSDHC card with Class 4 or higher performance is required. microSD memory cards (256MB to 2GB) and microSDHC memory cards (4GB) have been tested for the following brands: Panasonic, Toshiba, SanDisk and ATP. Note that using other media may result in recording failure or data loss. For compatibility of memory cards, please consult an authorised JVC dealer.
