Everio has been redesigned to offer more satisfaction in a smaller, lighter body. 6 digital noise reduction systems improve the S/N ratio by about 30% (3dB) over previous models, while the integrated MPEG-2 encoder helps reduce block noise and mosquito noise. It's assurance that all of those Gigabytes of video and photos you shoot will offer the best picture quality available for each recording mode.

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, ATP. Note that using other media may result in recording failure or data loss. For compatibility of memory cards, please consult an authorized JVC dealer.

The scroll bar and buttons are touch-sensitive so you just glide your finger up or down the bar to choose menu items while its cool blue light follows your movements. You don't touch the LCD screen itself, so it won't get dirty or smudged. No fingerprints.

Automatically adjusts brightness of the LCD backlight for comfortable viewing whether indoors or outdoors. With Everio, you don't have to use the power switch each time you operate because the power is linked to the LCD's opening and closing. Just open the LCD and the camera turns on. Close the LCD to turn the power off and avoid wasting battery power. Operation has never been easier!

In combination with Auto Power ON, you're ready to shoot in about 1 second when the LCD is re-opened. Never miss a crucial moment.

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 separate lens cap.

Allows you to check the remaining battery power by % and remaining recording time in minutes. Optional larger capacity batteries are available for purchase.

This product includes patented and other proprietary technology and will operate only with JVC Data Battery.

Provided remote control to operate Everio from a distance for playback, DVD burning, etc. just like a DVD deck.

To safeguard Hard Disk Drive from shocks and vibrations, the Everio has a Floating Suspension System that effectively dampens vibrations through polymer shock absorbers. Also incorporated is a Gravity Sensor System that automatically senses sudden acceleration such as in a free fall situation, and turns off the power to defend the hard disk so that a head crash can be avoided even when the unit is dropped.

Note: Operation of hard disk drive protection is not guaranteed against all cases of chock or accident.

The DV Out terminal (Firewire, i.LINK, IEEE1394) on the Everio Dock enables easy dubbing to an external DVD/HDD recorder, and also allows digital-to-digital dubbing of Everio footage to a computer for advanced non-linear editing using third party software.

Just hook-up to a TV using the provided AV cable and enjoy Everio's DVD-quality picture on a large-screen TV. Or connect directly to a VCR or DVD recorder for easy copying of Everio movie clips to a VHS tape or DVD disc.

With an optional SHARE STATION DVD burner or with your PC, you can burn a full-sized DVD-Video disc at the touch of a button. Just press the DIRECT DVD button, and the DVD burning process starts automatically. It's smart so you can even use it to automatically transfer only newly recorded data to the burner, just the scenes you manually select, or pre-select using the Playlist.

*60 minutes worth of video in Ultra Fine mode. Time will differ depending on the number of files being burned to DVD.

Data archiving has never been easier. Just press the DIRECT BACK UP button, and data that has not yet been backed up can be transferred to a PC automatically.
