JVC GZ-HM855 HD Everio PAL Camcorder

Low light performance is one of the key factors for quality video. Everio's Super LoLux ensures superior sensitivity to low light. With a Back-illuminated CMOS sensor (on select models), you can capture clear images with precise colors even in low light. No worry while indoors or in dark situations

The f/1.2 lens is approximately two times brighter than conventional camera lenses, and is a perfect match for the Back-illuminated CMOS sensor. You'll be able to record in low light environments with confidence. Record indoors or outside in darker situations with brilliant results. Record birthdays, weddings, sporting events and everyday life without the need for additional lighting

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 576 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

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!

This powered-up version of A.I.S. uses an effective area that's four times larger than standard A.I.S. to effectively minimize excessive camera shake

Everio's Face Detection function intelligently detects up to 16 faces then accurately adjusts the focus and exposure. Face Recognition technology (on select models), allows you to register faces of friends and family so the camera can optimize exposure and focus giving priority to them

Touch on a face on the LCD screen, and that face is automatically shown enlarged in a corner of the screen. So you can record both a group shot and a close-up of someone at the same time!

Time-Lapse REC records one frame at a time at set intervals (1-80seconds). 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

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.

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

Choose the theme, and the camera automatically spices up your footage with animated fun graphics and effects while you record. Add an extra touch to make your memories look extra special

New optics were custom designed and manufactured, incorporating several aspherical lenses to achieve finer image reproduction while maintaining a compact profile. Extra-low dispersion glass is used to minimize aberrations

When zoomed out to full wide (1x), your angle of vision is equivalent to a 29.5mm lens on a 35mm SLR camera. This lets you shoot landscapes and get everyone into group shots, without having to back away

The FALCONBRID Engine enables high-speed processing of a huge amount of pixel data to allow quality video recording, and combines 3D NR and 2D NR to reduce noise level by half

As many as forty 2.1 Megapixel stills can be shot at up to 50 frames per second (fps), a speed that rivals what's offered by typical DSLR cameras. For even higher image quality, you can also shoot 4 Megapixel continuous stills (up to 40) at 12.5 fps

High-speed recording mode shoots ultra-slow motion video to capture dynamic movement that is not visible to the naked eye. Effective tool for sports technique analysis and nature studies
