JVC GZ-HM445 Everio Flash Memory PAL Camcorder (Blue)

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 values, gamma values and more, are all continuously optimized to ensure you get the best shot

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 AVCHD SD 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 times - the choice is yours

Enhanced Advanced Image Stabilizer

Camera-shake compensation is another important feature of a video camera. With JVC's Advanced Image Stabilizer (A.I.S.), the camcorder expands the effective area at wide angle, delivering powerful compensation for camera shake. You'll be able to enjoy stable results even if you're trotting alongside your subject

Two-Way Grip Belt

The innovative 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

Face Sub-Window

Touch on a face displayed on the LCD touch panel and that face is automatically shown enlarged in a corner of the screen. This means you can record both a group shot and a close-up of someone at the same time

Time-Lapse REC

Time-Lapse REC records one frame at a time at set intervals between one second and eighty seconds. This enables you to 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

Smile Meter / Smile Shot

The Smile Meter keeps an eye on how much your subjects are smiling, giving you a percentage display. With Smile Shot, the camera automatically takes a picture (in video mode) every time the smile percentage reaches a certain level. It's a great way to take group shots filled with smiling faces

Animation Effect

Choose the theme, then let the camera automatically spice up your footage with animated fun graphics and effects while you record
