The high-resolution 920K pixels 3.5-inch LCD monitor provides a wide aspect ratio of 16:9 with a wide array of monitoring and setup indications. Since the LCD is top-mounted, not only is it ideal for shooting at various angles but also provides ample distance from the cameraman's eyes to the LCD to achieve better visibility in handheld camera applications. It also features a Focus Assist function that highlights the edges of objects shown in the viewfinder in color (red, green or blue) to help the cameraman stay focused on the action.

Dual SDHC/SDXC Card Slots for Maximum Versatility
Dual SDHC/SDXC card slots make the GY-HM620 a truly versatile camcorder, offering such benefits as series recording, dual recording and backup recording modes with reliable and cost-effective media.

• Series (relay) recording mode: Continuous recording card by card.
• Dual (simultaneous) recording mode: Recording to 2 cards at same format for backup or multi-purpose.
• Backup recording mode: While the Rec trigger is used to REC and STOP recording on one card, the other card can act as a continuous backup that overrides the pause function. This is a unique mode highly demanded by theatrical and bridal camera crew
