---------------------
The JVC Everio GZ-MG630 features a 60 GB hard disk drive and a
1/6-inch 800,000-pixel CCD image sensor. It also uses a Konica
Minolta lens with a 40x dynamic zoom and 800x digital zoom.
Dynamic zoom achieves up to 40x magnification by using nearly all
of the CCD’s effective pixels without any picture quality
degradation.
For sharing, the Everio MG630 makes it easy to watch videos on
an iPod or iPhone by exporting videos to the user’s iTunes
library with the new One Touch Export function provided by
bundled software for Windows. This joins the One Touch Upload
function for uploading to YouTube, for 2009 a feature available
on all Everio camcorders, and One Touch DVD Creation function for
easy archiving and sharing by disc, a long-time Everio feature.
Everio Features
All 2009 Everios make sharing and watching videos easier than
ever. New for this year is the One Touch Export function that
allows Everio videos to be imported into iTunes and loaded into
an iPod or iPhone. All 2009 Everios also offer One Touch DVD
burning and the One Touch Upload function that JVC introduced to
users in 2008 as a new and convenient way to upload videos to
YouTube.
To use any of the three functions, simply connect Everio to a PC
using the supplied USB cable. Then, the user chooses one of three
buttons on the Everio: UPLOAD, EXPORT, or DIRECT DVD. Pressing
the button will launch the appropriate Windows PC application
that comes bundled with Everio, and the user simply follows the
simple on-screen prompts. With just a few mouse clicks the
process of uploading to YouTube, exporting to iTunes, burning to
disc or transferring to an external hard disk drive will be
completed. For uploading to YouTube, the user can perform an
in-camera edit of any length video to fit the 10-minute YouTube
limit.
For disc based archiving, there is an alternative to using a PC.
JVC offers the CU-VD50 Direct DVD Burner/Player as an option,
which allows burning of Everio videos to a DVD disc without
having to use a PC.
The new Everio MediaBrowser software supplied with all Everio
models is a Windows application providing an easy-to-search
-type graphical interface for indexing and finding video
files. Thumbnail images of recorded videos and stills are
superimposed on the so it’s easy to see when any scene
was recorded. The Everio MediaBrowser also allows easy playback,
simple cut editing, and "Decomotion" to spruce up recorded
footage with animated graphics for upload to YouTube. It also
supports Export to iTunes, Upload to YouTube, burning to disc or
transferring to HDD.
Another new feature found on all Everio camcorders is Digest
Playback, which offers an easy and entertaining way to check the
content residing on Everio’s HDD or SD/SDHC card. The function
automatically selects highlight scenes from among the recorded
content using JVC’s proprietary algorithm and plays back what
looks like a "coming attractions" trailer for a movie. Sixty
minutes of footage is condensed into five minutes of highlight
scenes.
Other Everio features have been enhanced for 2009. Laser Touch
Operation has been updated to allow control of zooming and
using either the Laser Touch scroll bar or buttons next
to the LCD screen, as well as by the standard zoom lever and REC
button. And as before, Laser Touch makes it easy to browse
through thumbnail images of recorded scenes and access menu
selection. Power-linked operation, long offered by JVC, goes a
step further this year. Simply opening the LCD monitor
automatically opens the built-in lens cover and powers up the
camcorder. Closing the LCD also closes the lens cover and shuts
down the power. With Quick Restart, can start in about
one second after the LCD is re-opened.
In addition to performance and convenience, the 2009 Everio line
offers plenty of style and shooting comfort. A new design
features elegant curves, a silver-framed LCD and a comfortable
angled grip with a new dual use strap. The strap can be used in
the usual camcorder fashion, supporting the user’s hand when
shooting, or it can be extended and used as a wrist strap like
the type on most digital still cameras.
