To switch the recording mode, refer to pages 35 and 36. NOTES: It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to open. Do not apply force. If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not open, close the cassette holder cover and try again. If the cassette holder still does not open, turn the camcorder off then on again. If the tape does not load properly, open the cassette holder cover fully and remove the cassette. A few minutes later, insert it again. When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm environment, wait a short time before opening the cassette holder cover. Closing the cassette holder cover before the cassette holder recedes may cause damage to the camcorder. Even when the camcorder is switched off, a cassette can be loaded or unloaded. After the cassette holder is closed with the camcorder switched off, however, it may not recede. It is recommended to turn the power on before loading or unloading. When resuming recording, once you open the cassette holder cover a blank portion will be recorded on the tape or a previously recorded scene will be erased (recorded over) regardless of whether the cassette holder came out or not. See Recording From The Middle Of A Tape ( pg. 23).

JVC PROFESSIONAL

1.18 Megapixel Progressive Scan CCD
This newly developed 1/3 HD CCD with 1,180,000 pixels offers an improved dynamic range as well as high sensitivity and a high S/N ratio. By combining this progressive scan HD CCD with our original hybrid complementary-primary digital filter and processing circuitry, color accuracy and horizontal resolution are improved. And our exclusive driving system (patent pending) attained multi-format recording capability.
F1.8F1.9 Optical Zoom Lens
Optical Image Stabilization
The camera incorporates an optical image stabilization lens shift system to allow HD recording even at high zoom ratios. Combined with our newly developed lens servo circuit and camera-shake detection algorithm, it provides effective full-time stabilization for superior results when shooting still images as well as video.

Aluminum Frame

Rugged body with die-cast aluminum center frame and magnesium coated exterior (excluding grip).
Developed for HD recording, this all glass multi-element lens offers improved peripheral resolution, brightness, and low distortion. The 10x zoom lens offers full range zooming with almost no variance in brightness. And by use of multi-coated lenses and a large lens hood, it enables capture of virtually ghost-free HD images.
New ergonomic style for the active professional.

The cameras E-E through image when outputting through the Component Output in HD mode will be 480/60p only. The frame/field rate for 720/60p and 1080i analog output during HD playback will be 60.00 fps. By connecting via i.LINK to a D-VHS video deck with built-in MPEG-2 HD decoder, output of 1080/60i, 720/60p are possible, and the frame rate is converted to 59.94 fps. When outputting 480/60p, the frame/field rate will always be 59.94 fps regardless of the recording mode or output terminal.
