The JVC GR-AXM225U palm-size, compact VHS-C camcorder offers 300x variable speed digital zoom and 16x optical zoom. This is ideal for catching action at sporting events or just at home in your backyard. The zoom is a variable-speed zoom triggered by finger pressure with numeric zoom ratio readout in the viewfinder/monitor. The GR-AXM225U includes a high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD color monitor with 112,000 pixels. The monitor rotates 270 degrees so you can view what you are recording from any angle.
At the touch of a button, Super LoLux boosts low light sensitivity to less than 1 lux for needed performance in real-life shooting situations. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake. Your viewers will appreciate this feature during playback because it will make your recording easier to watch.
The VHS-C format tapes used in this camcorder are simply smaller-size VHS tapes. You can play your tapes in any VCR with the included cassette adapter. This feature also allows the manufacturer to make a compact, affordable camcorder. In case you need to travel away from an electrical outlet, the JVC GR-AXM225U includes a battery pack with a shooting capability of up to two hours. The camcorder has seven programmable auto exposure modes and digital special effects. The title generator features eight preset messages in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
A time lapse capability allows you to record at preset intervals to catch slow motion action such as plant growth or cloud movement. You can also record in a special animation mode that creates the illusion of movement for an otherwise stationary scene when you shoot a series of slightly different poses. For editing features, the JVC GR-AXM225U offers digital wipes and fades, as well as a black fader and a quick review and retake function. Through the J terminal, you can easily integrate your JVC camcorder with PC and multimedia peripherals to create a computer-controlled video-playback and image-capture system. The necessary control software is supplied with select JVC digital camcorders. The accessories include a shoulder strap, AC adapter, compact VHS cassette playback adapter, and battery recharger.
I have been looking around at different camcorders and have done a lot of research on most of them in this price range. This one is very simple to use, the video comes out very clear. The LCD monitor is very clear. The only thing I don't like is the on/off switch is in a hard to get to spot and it is flat, but I can live with it.
