The JVC GZ-HM690 HD Everio Camcorder puts 1920 x 1080 high def recording in the palm of your hands, along with numerous features and functions, at a mid-range price-point. With the help of a ¼.1" 3.32MP CMOS sensor and Konica Minolta lens the HM690 records your videos and still images to a 64GB internal flash memory, or to optional SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. Helpful shooting assets like 40x optical zoom, JVC's Advanced Image Stabilization, and a 2.7" touch panel LCD also play and integral role in preserving your memories.

Shooting controls and automatic features and functions, like Super LoLux, help take the guesswork out of recording, allowing you to focus on the moment, instead of the camera's settings. Other such features include Face Sub-Window, Time-Lapse REC, and Smile Meter. When you're done shooting and ready to share, the camera comes with JVC's Everio MediaBrowser 3 editing software built right in. Just connect the camera to your computer and you're ready to edit and upload to sites like YouTube and Facebook.

• Super LoLux

  Low light performance is one of the key factors for quality video. Everio's Super LoLux ensures superior sensitivity to low light. With a Back-illuminated CMOS sensor (on select models), you can capture clear images with precise colors even in low light. No worry while indoors or in dark situations

• Intelligent Auto

  Wherever you point the camera, it instantaneously analyzes faces, brightness, color and distance, to automatically select the best settings for the scene. Brightness, sharpness, chroma and gamma values, and more, are all continuously optimized. Get the best possible shot, anytime!

• HD/SD Dual Format Recording

  Record in AVCHD Full HD if you want to watch the results on an HDTV or burn 1920 x 1080 resolution videos to a Blu-ray disc or DVD. In addition you can record in Standard Definition to edit 720 x 480 resolution videos for longer recording times, burn to standard DVD and share with people who haven't upgraded to HDTV yet. Remember HD for higher quality recordings or SD for broad compatibility and longer recording time the choice is yours

• Advanced Image Stabilizer

  Camera-shake compensation is another important feature of a video camera. The Advanced Image Stabilizer (A.I.S.) expands the effective area at wide angle, delivering powerful compensation for camera shake. Now, you can enjoy stable results even if you're trotting alongside your subject

• Face Sub-Window

  Touch on a face on the LCD screen, and the face is automatically shown enlarged in a corner of the screen. So you can record both a group shot and a close-up of someone at the same time!

• Time-Lapse REC

  Time-Lapse REC records one frame at a time at set intervals (1 sec - 80 sec). So you can watch movement that's hours long in just a few seconds when played back. It's great when you want to observe an event that takes place over a long period of time or to record unique-looking scenes in a creative way

• Auto REC

  When a subject enters the detecting area and the luminance changes, recording starts automatically. Recording continues as long as there is movement within the area and automatically stops after 5 seconds of no movement. You can use it like a surveillance camera or to observe something.

• Smile Meter

  Just say cheese! The Smile Meter keeps an eye on how much your subjects are smiling, giving you a % display. With Smile Shot, the camera automatically takes a picture (in video mode) every time the smile % reaches a certain level. It's a great way to take group shots filled with smiling faces

• 2-Way Grip Belt

  The newly designed belt works both ways - as a standard grip belt or a convenient wrist strap. You can choose which way, to best match your style of shooting or carrying at any time
