The JVC GZ-HM860 HD Everio Camcorder is a mid-range high def camera for those looking to go beyond posting to social media sites. The HM860 captures hours upon hours of full 1920 x 1080 video thanks to the 10.6MP Back-illuminated CMOS sensor and JVC HD GT Lens. Other functions of the camera, like a 3.5" touch panel LCD, 15x Dynamic zoom, and the Enhanced Advanced Image Stabilizer are 'basics' that ensure high quality video every time you shoot. The HM860 stores its footage to a 16GB built-in flash memory or to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards.

In addition to capturing high res video, the HM860 also takes 11MP digital stills. Other useful shooting features like Super LoLux for night time or low light shooting, Time-Lapse REC, Smile Meter, and others all work to make your recording easier by taking the guesswork out of getting just the right shot. Additionally, Bluetooth wireless technology helps you to transfer vieos right to your smartphone when you're through shooting for uploading without a PC - additionally, you can synchronize to Google Maps on your smartphone. Other ways to share include using the built-in Everio MediaBrowser 3 editing software which is built right into the camera! Just connect to your PC and you're good to go.

Shooting

• 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

• f/2.1 Bright Lens

  The F1.2 lens is approximately two times brighter than conventional camera lenses, and is a perfect match for the Back-illuminated CMOS Sensor. You'll be able to record in low light environments with confidence. Record indoors or outside in darker situations with brilliant results. Record birthdays, weddings, sporting events and everyday life without the need for additional lighting

• 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!

• Enhanced Advanced Image Stabilizer

  This powered-up version of A.I.S. uses an effective area that's four times larger than standard A.I.S. to effectively minimize excessive camera shake

• 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

• Animation Effect

  Choose the theme, and the camera automatically spices up your footage with animated fun graphics and effects while you record. Add an extra touch to make your memories look extra special

Performance

  New optics were custom designed and manufactured, incorporating several aspherical lenses to achieve finer image reproduction while maintaining a compact profile. Extra-low dispersion glass is used to minimize aberrations

• 29.5mm Wide Angle

  When zoomed out to full wide (1x), your angle of vision is equivalent to a 29.5mm lens on a 35mm SLR camera. This lets you shoot landscapes and get everyone into group shots, without having to back away
