Excellent
The product is very unique and outstanding
Great camera
I honestly love the camera. Wasn?t overly challenging to operate, nor was it difficult to handle. The bag was bulky, but that?s the only downside I experienced.
Take your videography to the next level with the advanced GY-HM180 12.4MP 4K Ultra HD Camcorder from JVC. This high-quality, compact camera is a powerhouse of features, designed to deliver stunning 4K Ultra HD video recordings. It's equipped with a 12x F1.2-3.5 optical zoom lens, offering a 35mm equivalent of 29.5-354mm, providing flexibility in framing shots and capturing distant subjects.
The heart of this versatile camcorder is its 1/2.3-inch 4K CMOS sensor with 12.4M pixels, ensuring high sensitivity and excellent performance across a wide range of lighting conditions. The result is crisp, accurate details across the entire image plane. When shooting in HD mode, the Dynamic Zoom combines optical zoom and pixel mapping to create a seamless, lossless 24x zoom, allowing for a long zoom range without compromising the compact form factor.
The GY-HM180 is designed for easy 4K recording. Simply insert an SDHC or SDXC (UHS-I Speed class3) memory card and record hours of 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) material. The recordings are made using the Quicktime (.MOV) file format, ensuring compatibility with many popular editing systems.
For live output, connect a 4K Ultra HD monitor with a single HDMI cable to view the camera's live 4K signal. The GY-HM180 also downconverts UHD signals to standard HD for output through the built-in HDMI connector, or through the 3G-SDI connector.
The GY-HM180 also offers 4:2:2 Full HD recording at 50Mbps, making it an ideal camera for general HD production work. The dual SDHC/SDXC card slots offer simultaneous recording and relay recording, allowing for continuous, seamless shooting over multiple cards.
For web-friendly formats, the GY-HM180 can record lower resolution H.264 files (480x270p and 960x540p) simultaneously with full HD files. These smaller files are perfect for immediate posting to the web or quick importing to an iPad for easy editing.
In summary, the GY-HM180 12.4MP 4K Ultra HD Camcorder is a durable, easy-to-use tool for any videographer, whether for field production, event videography, or independent filmmaking. Its advanced features and high-quality output make it a standout choice in the realm of professional compact cameras.
