Two other jewels shine bright, these being the wide and telephoto attachment lenses which can be purchased as separate items. So if you need SD be prepared for software or hardware conversion. The camera shoots 50i, 60i, 24 and 25P, supports HDV and does not shoot standard definition. Shooting at 35mbps variable bitrate produces excellent, low noise images in either 1080 or 720 HD formats. The jewel in the crown is the high quality XDCAM EX codec, licensed from Sony.

Phantom power is provided to two XLRs and the two channels can be recorded separately using auto or manual level control. The audio is clean and the controls are easy to master. My personal choice is Focus Assist on assign 1, Zebra Stripes on assign 2, and assign 3 I have used for either Colour Bars or the Macro feature.Īudio is handled on-board a detachable handle. This works well and enables a quick check of focus on a screen which otherwise may result in one missing critical detail.ģ assign button let one position much needed tasks easily within reach. The focus assist is a very useful feature which, at touch of a button, lets one use a colour reference to show all that is in focus. This last point is very convenient as this is a camera that works well in auto - and the ability to conveniently tweak exposure without stepping into full manual is a great way to adjust exposure quickly without having to work too hard to achieve the result one needs. Shutter speed and exposure changes are handled at the back of the camera, which is slightly inconvenient, though workable, and a convenient global exposure adjust control lets one shoot in auto with the overall exposure being adjusted either up or down at the push of a switch. The controls can be a bit fiddly, though once you are at home with the technical operation there is plenty of scope for image manipulation using the manual controls for exposure, shutter, and focus. Even night shots have deep blacks, little grain or artifacting, and the images look like they were produced by a much larger camera.
#PRO HD CLIP MANAGER JVC MOVIE#
There is no doubt this hand-held movie making machine is well and truly capable of producing very high quality images. Now that the GY-HM100 is in our hands we've been able to put it to the test and have found it to be blend of some remarkably desirable qualities with a few idiosyncrasies that perhaps take a little of the shine off what otherwise would be a close to perfect camcorder.
The GY-HM100 was announced in January, 2009, and was then described by National Marketing Manager, Craig Yanagi of JVC, USA as "being the world's first professional hand-held camcorder that records high bandwidth 35 megabits to native QuickTime files, and is able to record that internally on affordable SDHC cards."
