For Immediate Release:

Everio GZ-MC500 Digital Media Camera

Main Features

1. Newly developed 3-CCD camera system offers a

wider range of color reproduction

Using a 3-CCD camera system with three

1.33-megapixel*3CCDs, the color reproduction ability

has been substantially improved. After a prism refracts

the images captured by the lens into the three basic

colors of red, green, and blue, image capture is carried

out by each of the color-dedicated CCDs.

*3: 3 x 690,000 effective pixels for video, and 3 x 1,230,000 pixels for stills

2. Digital media camera with the world’s best*15-mega class still performance

By using high precision image processing technology based on 3-CCD, this

home-use camcorder offers the world’s largest 5-mega class still picture memory.

Furthermore, users can enjoy clear, beautiful photo prints thanks to JVC’s

proprietary Megabrid Imaging Engine that performs separate high-resolution

processing especially for stills, in addition to processing designed for video.

3. World’s smallest and lightest*2compact unit

As a 3-CCD home camcorder with a one inch hard disk, it offers the world’s smallest

and lightest compact unit for superior portability, as well as ample memory for longer

video recording time. With a compact size that makes it easy to carry anywhere at

anytime, users can easily capture everyday or travel scenes in high resolution.

4. A full range of functions to faithfully capture images

zScene Modes to capture various image situations

zManual Focus Ring to allow for quick, precise focusing

zAuto Exposure Bracketing to capture a range of three

exposures with a single push of the trigger button

Development Concepts

New categories are emerging today in the digital camcorder market, and instead of just

videotape, memory cards or DVDs are being used for the storage media. In order to

accommodate the transforming market, JVC launched the Everio series using a hard

disk as storage media in November 2004. This series is well received for its

high-resolution extended recording time, highly portable compact size, easy operation

through random access, and superior PC compatibility. It has even created a new

product category called the “digital media camera”; a kind of Hard Disk Camcorder.

With this launch of the GZ-MC500 model featuring the 3-CCD 5-mega camera system,

JVC strengthened this camcorder lineup. Thanks to the world’s ultimate 3CCD 5-mega

class*1still performance, and a high-capacity video memory, this camera allows users

to easily enjoy taking high quality images whenever and wherever they like.

Other Features

1. Easy and convenient, handy and reliable picture taking, thanks to the hard

disk recording media

zSince it automatically starts from empty space on the disk, there is no risk of

recording over previously taken pictures.

zAny unwanted scenes during filming can be deleted on the spot.

zNo need for troublesome rewinding or fast forwarding. It has an index function

so that a desired scene can be quickly selected and replayed from a collection

of thumbnail images.

zEasy scene deletion or rearranging and other basic editing for playback can be

performed using the Playlist Video Clip Playback editing function.

zThanks to the double card slot, still image data can be easily transferred or

copied using the provided 4GB Microdrive®card that contains a one inch

removable hard disk drive, or a separately sold compact flash card or SD

memory card.

2. PictBridge support allows direct printing of images without a PC

Since the camera supports PictBridge, it can be connected via the USB terminal to a

compatible printer to easily print stills directly from the camera.

3. Software package for easy and original image production: from video editing

to disk writing

The accompanying software application for easy DVD recording and real video

editing allows users to enjoy making their own unique DVDs with ease.

4. A built-in pop-up flash allows bright picture taking even in dark locations

5. Wide-screen Video mode for high-resolution 16 x 9 video shooting
