JVC Everio GZ-HD3 Release Note page 3

•
The HD Everio GZ-HD3 uses a KONICA MINOLTA HD LENS,
developed to ensure optimum performance with JVC's 3-
CCD and HD recording technologies. The zoom lens features
an ultra-compact hybrid aspherical lens system using low
dispersion glass that plays a pivotal role in reducing
aberrations and captures HD images with vivid colors and
high resolution. The lens structure also contributes to the
miniaturization of the camera.
2. 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.
3. Compact Body; Simple Controls
To make it easy to take the GZ-
HD3 anywhere, the palm-sized
camcorder features a lightweight,
compact body 27% smaller than
the GZ-HD7, and weighing a mere
670 grams (1.5 lbs.). It also offers
point-and-shoot simplicity so no
crucial scenes are missed, plus
manual controls for more ambitious
users.
4. Full Complement of Interfaces
JVC equipped the GZ-HD3 with a
wide range of interface terminals,
including HDMI and component
outputs so HD footage can be
viewed on the latest
displays. And standard
terminals that output a down-
converted SD signal provide connectivity to ordinary Standard Definition TVs. USB and i.LINK connectors
are included for transferring recordings to a personal computer for editing.
