Questions & Answers

Michael S : Is this camera capable of having an external zoom control that can be attached to a tripod? If so, which do you recommend?DEMARCUS D : Yes, this camera has remote control capabilities. The JVC branded remote goes for approx. $325 or any standard 2.5mm LANC Connection remote will suffice.PAUL S : Don't know the camera has a focus ring that maybe you can attach such an accessory.
Axel D : Does the Microphone come with the camcorder?Derek H : The GY-HM200 does come with two microphones built into the body for stereo audio, but it does not come with the larger external "shotgun" style microphone that is in some of the pictures of the camera. (The JVC GY-LS300 does include the shotgun mic.)
Shopper : Does it have 3 separate rings for manual focusing, iris controland zooming?Derek H : The GY-HM200 has 2 rings and one dial/knob, and they can be configured for focus, zoom and iris. This is the default setting. The front ring is always focus, and the second one back can be set to zoom or iris. The third is a dial/knob which is on the lower side of the camera toward the front and can be set for iris, shutter, or AE level compensation. (Auto Exposure + or -)

So Far, so good.

I haven't really put it to good use, but what I have done with it has given me good results. I'll know more as the year goes by.

The camera is excellent in medium light situations without using the gain

The camera is excellent in medium light situations without using the gain. I use Panasonic AC160's and the color is near identical. The focus is impressive and stable while using the zoom. This camera comes with everything needed, even a small shotgun mic, removable upper handle and XLR inputs, 48v phantom power and even though I believe Adorama removes the original JVC battery and put's an IDX one in the cost is reasonable... The operation is easy, what stood out the most is the size, capability, complete accessories, with 3G SDI and HDMI outputs. It's worth the money!

Integrated 12x Ultra HD Lens, 1/2.3-inch CMOS Sensor

Ultra high quality imagery begins with a precision 12x F1.2-3.5 optical zoom lens (35mm equivalent: 29.5-354mm). JVC's 4K CMOS sensor with 12.4M pixels delivers high sensitivity. In HD mode, Dynamic Zoom combines optical zoom and pixel mapping to create seamless and lossless 24x zoom. This allows the camera to have a long zoom range while retaining its small form factor. Shooters will also appreciate the convenient ND filter wheel: 0, 1/4th and 1/16th positions.

Integrated 12x Ultra HD Lens

4K Ultra HD Recording at 150Mbps and Live Output

Working with 4K has never been easier! Insert an SDHC or SDXC (UHS-I Speed class3) memory card and record hours of 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) material. Recordings are made using the Quicktime (.MOV) file format and are compatible with many popular editing systems. Connect a 4K Ultra HD monitor with a single HDMI cable, and view the camera's live 4K signal. You can also play back recorded files directly from the camera. The GY-HM200 also downconverts UHD signals to standard HD for output through the built-in SDI or HDMI connectors.

4K Ultra HD Recording

4:2:2 Full HD recording at 50Mbps

The GY-HM200 records 4:2:2 HD signals up to 60p at 50Mbps making it an ideal camera for general HD production work. 50Mbps files are stored in the Quicktime (.MOV) format for easy editing. Conventional AVCHD (4:2:0) recording is also possible, providing wide editing compatibility in an array of standard HD and SD formats.

4:2:2 Full HD recording at 50Mbps

Dual SDHC/SDXC Card Slots

Dual SDHC/SDXC card slots make the GY-HM200 a truly versatile camcorder, offering such benefits as simultaneous recording and relay recording. In relay recording mode, you can shoot continuously and seamlessly over multiple cards. When one card is full, the camcorder switches seamlessly and automatically to the other card. And because cards are hot swappable, there is in effect no limit to the continuous shooting time in any mode, even with lower capacity cards.

Advanced IP Network Communication and Streaming

The GY-HM200 features JVC's latest IP communications engine giving you remote control and monitoring of vital camera and lens functions from a tablet, smartphone, or computer anywhere in the world. Live streaming is possible in HD or lower resolutionswith JVC's Advanced Streaming Technology (AST).

Advanced IP Network Communication and Streaming

Web Friendly (Proxy) file formats

Lower resolution H.264 files (480x270p and 960x540p) may be recorded simultaneously with full HD files. These files are significantly smaller than HD files, and thus are very suitable for immediate posting to the web. A file recorded in the 960 x 540 mode is approximately 1/10th the size of a full HD file recorded at 35 Mbps, and therefore takes a fraction of the time to post. The smaller files may be quickly imported to an iPad for easy editing using iMovie or Pinnacle Studio. Transporting video to the web or back to the studio has never been faster.
