Using the Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) recording and playback format, the JVC GZ-HH10 HD Camcorder can shoot high quality HD video with smaller file sizes allowing longer recording times.
It has a 1/4.5-inch CMOS sensor featuring CMOS chips with interpolation technology. With this, the GZ-HD10 can generate virtual pixels producing images beyond resolutions of full HD 1920 x 1080. It uses a 10x optical HD lens from Konica that is complemented with a 200x digital zoom. In addition to capturing videos, it can also take still photos at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
Videos and photos are stored in a 40GB internal HDD. With this size, you can continually record HD videos up to 20 hours. If this is still not enough, a memory card slot for microSD is available.
The underwater housing for the GZ-HD10 HD Camcorder is made of clear plastic and rubber O-rings that resists water up to depths of 40 meters or approximately 130 feet. The portion of the case containing the flip-out LCD monitor is tilted upwards to make viewing better and clearer when diving.
Camcorder controls are accessible via keys and dials mated to them. These are laid out ergonomically on the casing resulting in an easy and comfortable operation. These even allow you to switch between shooting videos and stills while underwater.
