dirty or smudged. No fingerprints.

2.7" LCD with Auto Backlight Control

Automatically adjusts brightness of the LCD

backlight for comfortable viewing whether

indoors or outdoors.

Auto Power ON/OFF

With Everio, you don’t have to use the power

switch each time you operate because the

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!

Compact and Lower-profile Design Dual Recording Capability —

Video Recording + Digital Still

Recording (GR-D870 only)

Why decide between recording

digital stills or video? Our dual

recording mode allows you to

record both at the same time. The

digital still function records and

stores (up to 640 x 480-pixel resolution) images on an SD/SDHC memory

card. The supplied software allows you to edit and organize your digital stills

on a PC.

Live Slow (GR-D870 only)

This feature is extremely useful for playing back precious or hard-to-see

moments at a slow speed. Slow motion images are recorded with sound on

a DVC tape. The images are played back with the slow motion effect while

the sound is at normal speed.

120-min. *Data Battery

This slim and powerful

long life battery allows

you to record precious

moments with peace of

mind. By simply touching the

DATA button, the remaining battery and

recording time can be easily viewed, even

when the power is turned off. This allows you

to check the remaining power for the battery

and recording time before recording, so you

can prevent the battery from running out

during recording.

JVC’s DVC includes patented and other proprietary

technology and is made to be used with the JVC Data

Battery and not with other batteries. JVC cannot guarantee

safety or performance of the camcorder when it is operated

by other batteries.

* With continuous shooting. 115-min. for GR-DA30.

DATA Button/AUTO Button

Press the DATA button

to conveniently display

the remaining battery

power.

The AUTO button

allows easier switching

between AUTO and MANUAL modes.

Multi-Language On-Screen

With the multi-language option for menu

settings and camera operations, you can

operate the camera in the language of your

choice.

Built-in Auto Illumi. Light

(GR-D870/D850)

Makes your subject

brighter in low light

situations by using an

energy efficient LED to

reduce battery drain. The camera will

automatically turn off the light in bright

environments to conserve battery power.

Power-Linked Operation (GR-D870/D850)

Automatically turns the camera on when you

open the LCD.

NightAlive

NightAlive aids to record in low light situations

in full color with no distance limitations for

bright results. NightAlive will work in both still

and video modes.

*JVC’s NightAlive combines digital slow shutter and image

processing technology. With rapidly moving subject, image

trails may be displayed.

3-Dimension Noise Reduction (3D NR)

3D NR automatically provides a more accurate

noise reduction. This is based on twice the

visual information than conventional field-

based types. The video noise is reduced by

30% in low light for a 2dB improvement in the

signal-to-noise ratio. End result, you get a

bright picture with less noise, even in low light.
