Inheriting the compact shoulder-carry style

Inheriting the compact shoulder-carry style of the GY-HM700 series, this camera recorder enables more stable shooting while maintaining the same weight as handheld models.

F11 Sensitivity, 1/3-inch Full HD 3CMOS Sensors

This camera recorder is equipped with three 1/3-inch 2.07M pixels full HD CMOS sensors.

It delivers high image quality with a high color resolution through the processing of individual R, G, B color signals. 12-bit signal processing and the new 2D DNR removes dark current and optical shot noise without losing S/N and high resolution, thereby achieving high F11 sensitivity.

Equipped with the newly-developed Fujinon 20x interchangeable zoom lens with AF/OIS 890 850

It ensures high magnification of 29 mm at wide ends, and provides high sensitivity across all regions with F1.6-3.0.

This interchangeable lens comes with an autofocus (AF) and Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) function, allowing for stable focusing when used as a shoulder-carry camera recorder.
In addition to the central area, it also comes with a face-detection autofocus feature, and supports switching to manual focusing.

The zoom ring with zoom ring pin enables zooming from the wide end to the tele end in 90 degrees.
Focus and iris control are also possible using separate rings.

4-position ND Filter

This camera recorder incorporates three types of ND filters.
Adjust the amount of light according to the brightness during shooting by switching the 4-position ND filter (OFF, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64).

JVC’s Proprietary FALCONBRID High-Quality Imaging Engine

The FALCONBRID high-quality imaging engine omits unnecessary processing through incorporating camera processing and image compression on a single chip. Images from imaging devices are compressed and processed without any loss thereby achieving high-quality images.

MPEG2 and H.264 Codec

FALCONBRID allows users to select a recording format such as MPEG-2, H.264 and AVCHD Progressive, the most commonly used codec for professional videos.

50 Mbps high-resolution recording mode

Inheriting the concept of ProHD memory camera recorders, this camera recorder also supports various file formats, such as AVCHD and QuickTime (H.264 SD) files, as well as QuickTime (MPEG-2 HD/H.264 HD) files that can be directly edited on Apple Final Cut Pro, in addition to MP4 files that are most suitable for XDCAM EX Nonlinear Editing Workflow.

Two SDHC/SDXC Card Slots for Dual, Backup and Series Recording

The most common SDHC/SDXC card recording system is used as the memory card.

This ensures reliability and operation at low running cost.
Various user friendly recording systems are also available. These include dual recording of the same file to two cards, and using REC/STBY to break up video clips in one card while performing backup recording to the other card.

Diverse simultaneous recording combinations (HD and SD, HD and Proxy Video, etc.)

This camera recorder is equipped with a proxy video (960x540: MOV, 480x270: MOV, 1440x1080: AVCHD) recording function that is convenient for network distribution.
Further enhancements were made to the dual recording feature, allowing for HD recording to one of the SDHC/SDXC cards, and SD or proxy video recording to the other card at the same time.

Variable frame recording

Enables beautiful slow motion and quick motion image recording such as overcrank and undercrank.

Th ability to change the frame rate during recording enables quick to gradually slow motion effects.

Pre Rec function (up to 10 seconds) and Interval Rec function
