JVC 60GB Everio High-Definition Camcorder - GZHD3 Hard Drive or SD/SDHC
Product Description
Full 1440x1080 Recording to 1.8" Hard Drive or SD/SDHC Card, 16:9 1/5" Progressive 3-CCD Chip, 10x Optical Zoom, HDMI Output, 1.7 MegaPixel (Total) Digital Stills, 2.8" Color LCD Everio GZ-HD3 High Definition Digital Camcorder
The HD lens of the GZ-HD3 developed by camera specialist, KONICA MINOLTA, to ensure optimal lens performance for use with our 3-CCD image sensor and MPEG2 recording technology. The result is an extremely detailed picture with clear contrast and strong presence throughout the image — the type of stable and consistent performance that becomes essential when recording images at HD specifications.
Three 1/5" Progressive Scan CCDs with Pixel Shift Technology For bright, realistic colors the HD Everio uses three 1/5-inch CCDs — one each for red, green and blue. Naturally, by having dedicated CCDs for each primary color, the camera is able to gather the maximum visual information which leads to more realistic color reproduction and presence. Using Pixel Shift Technology, the Red and Blue pixel locations are shifted relative to Green, allowing the sampled color information to be quadrupled through interpolation.
Auto Illumi. Light to Shoot Brilliant Video The GZ-HD3 is equipped with a built-in video light that automatically illuminates the scene if you are recording video in a dim environment.
Konica Minolta HD lens The HD lens of the GZ-HD3 was developed by camera specialist, Konica Minolta, to ensure that the lens performance was optimized for use with our 3CCD image sensor and MPEG-2 recording technology. The result is an extremely detailed picture with clear contrast and strong presence throughout the image -- the type of stable and consistent performance that becomes essential when recording images at HD specifications. The lens structure also contributes to the miniaturization of the camera.
Compact Body with Point-and-Shoot Simplicity The palm-sized GZ-HD3 is easy to take anywhere, with a lightweight and compact body weighing a mere 1.5lbs (670g) including battery. It also offers point-and-shoot simplicity so no crucial scenes are missed, plus manual controls for more ambitious users.
HD Gigabrid Engine for optimum HD images Developed specifically for HD Everio, this image processing engine processes the CCD images as a progressive scan signal. This provides the maximum image information to work with, regardless of the actual recording mode that is used. Also integrated into the chip are five digital noise reduction technologies that collaborate to improve vertical resolution by about 30 percent from previous JVC Standard Definition camcorders. It's at the heart of JVC's HD recording system.
Built-in 60GB HDD for 7 hours of HD recording In addition to an SP mode that allows up to about seven hours of HD recording, the GZ-HD3 is also equipped with an XP mode that records at a higher bit rate for those extra special scenes. There’s also a 1440CBR mode, which is convenient for those who wish to edit using HDV-compatible software.
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 color so you can easily tell which parts of the image are in or out of focus. Zebra function Displays a striped pattern across highlight areas on the image, making it easier to manually set the exposure. Auto illumination light Built-in Video Light automatically illuminates the scene if you are recording video in a dim environment. Program AE A full array of effects is available so you can choose the right exposure or shutter speed automatically according to the scene you're shooting. Easily accessible via visual menu dial.
Hybrid design with SD/SDHC memory card In addition to a built-in 60GB hard disk drive, the GZ-HD3 also has a slot for SD/SDHC memory card so you can store videos (SP mode only) and stills on this commonly available memory card.
Wide Range of Manual Controls In addition to point-and-shoot simplicity, HD Everio also offers a wide range of manual controls including Manual White Balance, Exposure Control, Sharpness Control, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Brightness Control.
Stick Control for Easy Operation Access a multitude of functions with the 4-way one-finger control. Pressing the four "compass points" on the circular control operates everything from menu item selection to manual camera settings.
Windows/Mac applications provided for advanced editing For those who wish to edit and archive using their PCs, HD Everio comes supplied with full-fledged software. Blu-ray disc compatible applications let you store original HD content with full impact. And with plug-ins supplied for Mac software, Macintosh users will be able to create HD files using their own editing applications.
Accessory Shoe and Mic Input Mount an optional microphone on the accessory shoe for clear, high-quality audio recording. A convenient Mic Input Terminal with plug-in power supplies power to the mounted microphone.
Power-Linked Operation Automatically turns on the camera when you open the LCD so you can shoot right away, and turns off the camera when you close the LCD so you won't waste power.
Built-in Sliding Lens Cover Slide it shut to protect the lens when the camera's not in use. It's integrated, so there's no risk of losing it like a lens cap.
Data Battery Allows you to check the remaining battery power by % and remaining recording time in minutes at the touch of a button, even while the camcorder's power is off.
