The LCD is not color correct. You don't get that until you move into the HD DVCams. And then most TVs don't agree on color too.

HD mode images may appear to move somewhat stiffly compared with SD mode or DV mode images. This is because they are shot at a rate of 30 frames per second compared with the 60 frames per second for the SD or DV mode images. The movie is shot at 24 frames per second, and looks good. So HD mode can have the same feel as a movie material. For smooth movement during video clips, we recommend you minimize rapid-panning or avoid shooting fast-moving subjects. Should you wish to record more natural motion in the picture, we recommend setting a slower shutter speed, or changing the recording mode to SD or DV.

The battery chargers that are included with JVC camcorders sold in the U.S. are designed to operate on power from 110 to 240 Volts at 50 or 60 Cycles AC.

I have the dv800. And I was not happy till I connected with firewire, used WinDV and then off to DVD with Ulead Moviefactory. Sadly, I can only share my success so you might follow along.

Tapes may be played back by the camera itself. If the tape was shot in the 720P (HD) or 480P (SD) modes, it cannot be played back on a standard DV VCR or camera. Tapes shot in the 480i (DV) mode are completely compatible and can be played back on any DV VCR/camera. In addition, tapes can be dubbed to a JVC HD DVHS VCR via the firewire connector.

No. The GRHD1U includes a component cable. Another breakout cable provides composite, S-video and audio left and right. For dubbing the footage to a DVHS VCR or computer, a standard 4 to 4 or 4 to 6 (camera has a 4 pin connector built in) pins firewire cable (not supplied) is required.

A basic, non-linear editing program created by KDDI is included with the camera, but there are other alternatives. Cine Form has announced a plug-in called Aspect HD for Adobe Premiere 6.5 which it will be shipping by early August.

You will need all the pixels the camera can produce so set the camera for 1600 x 1200 Fine. That should produce a good 4 x 6 print. I can't help with auto/manual as I do not know what they do on that camera.

The GRHD1 has three sections: HD/SD (high definition), DV (digital camcorder) and DSC (digital still camera). The still section, (thru USB), should work with Windows ME, 2000, XP or MAC. HD/SD would only work properly with Windows XP. DV section would work with Windows XP as well as MAC. Please note that GRHD1 is ONLY fully compatible with Windows XP. All other operating systems may, also, work but it is not guaranteed.

Since the transfer of digital signal to the camcorder is fully automatic (no controls or adjustments of the process are active other then start or stop) the signal coming from the computer MUST be continuous. If any glitches or interruptions are present in the signal coming from the computer, the camcorder will automatically cancel the connection.

It uses USB 2.0(backward compatible with 1.0) for transfer of files to PC. Since recording media is a flash memory an optional card reader can also be used.

If this is an USB connection, I'd try another USB plug that you know works. Remember that MOTHERBOARD DRIVERS are often an issue. Some will accept a Windows Update driver and this happens.

This terminal allows for direct digital transfers to other equipment with DV input terminals, such as JVC's GV-DT1 multimedia printer or the video capture card in your computer. The same terminal when bi-directional ( in and out ) allows dubbing from another DV source.

Note: that any other suffix (such as “E” ) on a “Consumer Camera” sold in the United States is considered “Gray Market”, and may not be covered by warranty in the United States.
