Full HD 1920 x 1080 recording
The HD Everio GZ-HD7 is the world's first consumer camera to offer Full HD 1920 x 1080i recording. Native 1920 x 1080i resolution is maintained throughout the recording to playback process from lens, CCD, MPEG2 transport stream and output via HDMI or USB 2.0 with no quality-degrading conversion.
5 hours of Full HD recording and 3 recording modes
With a 60GB built-in hard disk drive you can enjoy up to five hours of Full HD 1920 x 1080i recording at a high 30Mbps (MAX), plus you get two additional recording modes.
HD Gigabrid engine for high-quality Full HD recording
Developed specifically for HD Everio, this image processing engine processes the CCD images as a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan signal. This provides the maximum image information to work with, regardless of the actual recording mode that is used. Also integrated into the chip are five digital noise reduction technologies that collaborate to improve vertical resolution by about 30%. It's at the heart of JVC's 1920 x 1080 Full HD recording system.
2.8†widescreen clear LCD
The 2.8" widescreen LCD offers a 16:9 aspect ratio for wide cinematic video shooting. Naturally the playback picture can be enjoyed in full widescreen dimensions on the LCD or on a connected widescreen TV. This Clear LCD cuts surface reflections and glare to maintain a clear, visible, bright view during outdoor recording in direct sunlight.
Color viewfinder
The GZ-HD7 is also equipped with a color viewfinder. It's useful when shooting under strong sunlight where an LCD is not clearly visible or when you want to save battery power.
60GB hard disk drive built-in
High-capacity HDD to record video and still images, internal media means no need to buy additional discs and tapes. Since it's HDD, you can directly access the scene you want and delete the scene you don't want on the spot. Also, there's no risk of erasing previous recordings by mistake.
Hard disk drive protection technology
Floating suspension system effectively dampens vibrations through polymer shock absorbers while gravity sensor system automatically senses sudden acceleration such as in a free fall situation, and turns off the power to defend the hard disk so that a head crash can be avoided even when the unit is dropped.
