It's got it all
JVC pulled out all the stops when they built the GZ-HM860B. This Full HD video camera features an Intelligent AUTO shooting mode that analyzes the scene your shooting and adjusts accordingly to give you great footage. The Super LoLux performance along with the F1.2 bright lens offer much better performance in low-light conditions than ever before. And if your hands aren't entirely still, enhanced Advanced Image Stabilization keeps your footage steady nonetheless. If you're using the GZ-HM860B as a digital camera (it makes a darn good one) to take pictures of people, face sub-window allows you to use the touchscreen to select someone. The camera will then shoot both a group shot and a close-up at the same time! Smile meter and smile shutter help ensure your subjects always look their happiest in your shots. If you're feeling creative, several other options allow you the freedom you crave. Time-lapse recording lets you compress hours of action into a short clip, while Auto REC begins recording when motion is detected. Fun animation effects let you add creative touches to your shot. There are also full-on photo effects like monochrome or masking, too. And sharing your footage and photos is easier than ever, too. With built-in Bluetooth, a variety of outputs, and built-in software (for Windows), your options are wide open, whether you want to quickly put your footage on Facebook or YouTube, send video to your smartphone, add GPS data, or more. Any way you look at it, this Everio is impressive.
