Remember the Essentials

Recording media is not included, be prepared - always carry extra media.

The JVC GZ-HM50 HD Everio Camcorder is an entry-level cam for those looking to get into the future-friendly, superbly detailed world of high def, without breaking the bank. Perhaps you're looking for more than what a pocket camcorder can give you - more shooting controls, a bigger screen, or more memory - whatever your reasons, the GZ-HM50 is a great way to record your memories while remaining budget conscious.

The HM50 provides you with an 8GB built-in flash memory, an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot, and 1280 x 720 HD video capture. Upon output your footage can be up-converted to 1920 x 1080/p quality for even more detail and vibrant color. At the heart of the camera you'll find a 1/5.8" 1.5MP CMOS sensor and a Konica Minolta HD Lens orchestrating things, while features like 70x Dynamic Zoom, a 2.7" LCD, and JVC's Everio MediaBrowser 3 software all help to create memories that will last a lifetime.

When it comes to shooting controls the HM50 helps take the guesswork out of recording with functions like Intelligent Auto, Face Detection, Auto REC, the Advanced Image Stabilizer, and others. These controls allow you to enjoy the moment along with everyone else, instead of futzing with the settings on your camera. And when it's time to share what you've shot, the aforementioned Everio MediaBrowser 3 helps you to upload to social media sites, add effects, and archive for sharing and storage.

Advantages
  • 1/5.8" 1.5MP CMOS
  • 8GB built-in memory and SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card
Easy Operation and Convenience
  • HDMI output (mini)
  • Manual lens cover
  • A/V output
40x Optical Zoom Konica Minolta HD Lens
When recording in HD, you get up to 40x optical zoom - the industry's highest level. When recording in standard definition, the Dynamic zoom function uses nearly all of the effective pixels of the CMOS to achieve up to 70x magnification without any degradation of picture quality
Intelligent AUTO
Wherever you point the camera, it instantaneously analyzes faces, brightness, color and distance, to automatically select the best settings for the scene. Brightness, sharpness, chroma and gamma values, and more, are all continuously optimized. Get the best possible shot, anytime!
HD/SD Dual Format Recording
Record in AVCHD Full HD if you want to watch the results on an HDTV or burn 1920 x 1080 resolution videos to a Blu-ray disc or DVD. In addition you can record in Standard Definition to edit 720 x 480 resolution videos for longer recording times, burn to standard DVD and share with people who haven't upgraded to HDTV yet. Remember HD for higher quality recordings or SD for broad compatibility and longer recording time the choice is yours

Video Format Features

AVCHD: HD 1920 x 1080

  • Quality without compromise
  • Smooth motion playback thanks to 1080/60i support
  • Optimal playback for full HD compatible TVs
  • Ideal for capturing important memories and events

Standard definition: 720 x 480

  • For users viewing standard definition on their current TVs
  • Easy to edit without a high-spec computer
  • Extended recording times possible
Advanced Image Stabilizer
Camera-shake compensation is another important feature of a video camera. The Advanced Image Stabilizer (A.I.S.) expands the effective area at wide angle, delivering powerful compensation for camera shake. Now, you can enjoy stable results even if you're trotting alongside your subject
2-Way Grip Belt
The newly designed belt works both ways - as a standard grip belt or a convenient wrist strap. You can choose which way, to best match your style of shooting or carrying at any time
Time-Lapse REC
Time-Lapse REC records one frame at a time at set intervals (1-80 seconds). So you can watch movement that's hours long in just a few seconds when played back. It's great when you want to observe an event that takes place over a long period of time or to record unique-looking scenes in a creative way
Auto REC
When a subject enters the detecting area and the luminance changes, recording starts automatically. Recording continues as long as there is movement within the area and automatically stops after 5 seconds of no movement. You can use it like a surveillance camera or to observe something.
