JVC Everio GZ-HD3 Hard Disk Drive High Definition Camcorder

The HD lens of the GZ-HD3 was developed by camera specialist, KONICA MINOLTA, to ensure optimal lens performance for use with our 3-CCD image sensor and MPEG2 recording technology. The result is an extremely detailed picture with clear contrast and strong presence throughout the image — the type of stable and consistent performance that becomes essential when recording images at HD specifications.

Zoom Ratio: Optical 10x / Digital 200x
F Stop: F1.8 - F2.4
Focal Length: F= 3.2mm - 32mm

Three 1/5 Progressive Scan CCDs
For bright, realistic colors the HD Everio uses three 1/5-inch CCDs — one each for red, green and blue. Naturally, by having dedicated CCDs for each primary color, the camera is able to gather the maximum visual information which leads to more realistic color reproduction and presence. Using Pixel Shift Technology, the Red and Blue pixel locations are shifted relative to Green, allowing the sampled color information to be quadrupled through interpolation.

Built-in Sliding Lens Cover
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 lens cap.
