INTRODUCING THE NEW NINE-MEGAPIXEL JVC EVERIO X HYBRID CAMERA

Small, light all-in-one simultaneously shoots full HD video and digital stills as well as

slow-motion video and multiple MegaPixel stills.

The new hybrid Everio GZ-X900, or Everio X, is a small, light, all-in-one camera that offers the

powerful shooting combination of Full HD video and nine-MegaPixel still photos, plus creative

shooting functions such as slow motion video and high speed "motor drive" still photography.

Highlights of the new JVC Everio X include:

• The camera is small enough to slip into a shirt pocket and at just 298 grammes is one of

the lightest cameras that can shoot 1920 x 1080 Full HD AVCHD video;

• Shoots nine-MegaPixel (without interpolation) digital stills and Full HD video for

no-compromise images;

• 10x slow motion shooting plays back 2.8 seconds of recorded video over 28 seconds;
• Up to six nine-MegaPixel stills can be shot at 15 images per second - faster than digital

SLRs can achieve;

• Simultaneous five-MegaPixel digital still shooting while recording Full HD video - photos

can be shot at shutter speeds as fast as 1/4000 second without interrupting video

recording;

• Records video and stills to SDHC memory cards.

The new Everio X was designed for the consumer who wants to shoot high quality digital stills and

HD video, but wants the convenience of a single camera. While most conventional video

camcorders shoot digital stills and most digital still cameras shoot video, the secondary capabilities

of these cameras don't offer sufficient quality for many users. Everio X solves that dilemma by

providing high quality stills and top quality HD video.

PRESS RELEASE

Unique Design

The design of Everio X is a distinct departure from other camcorders, including other Everio

models. About the size of a chunky smart phone, Everio X has a modern minimalist design without

the protrusions or indentations found on most camcorders. The design allows plenty of flexibility in

how the camera is held - from below, above, or whatever suits the situation and the user's

preference. There are top-mounted zoom and record buttons, and a second set next to the LCD

screen for additional shooting flexibility. The camera is black with silver accents, with the right side

featuring a textured carbon fibre-like finish to provide a secure grip and resist smudges.

Small enough to easily slip into a pocket or purse, Everio X weighs just 298 grammes (including

the internal battery and a memory card) and measures 66 millimetres tall, 124 mm long and just 37

mm wide.

Full HD and Nine-Megapixel Stills

A 10.3-megapixel CMOS sensor is at the heart of the camera's superior image quality. The high

quality nine-megapixel digital still photos the camera shoots correlate directly to the

un-interpolated performance of this 1/2.33-inch CMOS sensor. For the first time ever, it is also the

source of 1920 x 1080/50i Full HD AVCHD format video.

JVC's new proprietary optical image stabilisation (OIS) technology applies camera shake

compensation optically at the Everio X lens entrance to ensure effectiveness throughout the zoom

range and allow high quality shooting without a tripod. Everio X also uses a new KONICA

MINOLTA HD LENS with a 5X optical zoom, magnifies up to 8X without any picture degradation

thanks to Dynamic Zoom technology.

Further contributing to the camera's high image quality is JVC's HD Gigabrid Premium image

processing engine. In addition, face detection technology assures accurate focus and exposure,

and HDMI^TM V.1.3 with x.v.Color^TM provides increased colour accuracy when connected to HDTV

displays.

10x Slow Motion Shooting, High-Speed Motor Drive Stills

Slow motion video recording is a key Everio X feature. The camera's high-speed recording

function shoots ultra-slow motion video. Any one of three speeds - 100 frames per second (fps),

250fps and 500fps - can be selected; the faster the recording speed, the slower the playback

motion. With this function, approximately 2.8-second bursts of video are recorded that are then

played back over a period of up to 28 seconds, a maximum of 10 times longer than normal speed.

Recording speed Image size Recording time Playback time

500fps 640 x 72 pixels Approx. 2.8 sec. Approx. 28 sec. (10x)

250fps 480 x 116 pixels Approx. 4.8 sec. Approx. 24 sec. (5x)

100fps 480 x 270 pixels Approx. 4.7sec. Approx. 9.4 sec. (2x)

In the still mode, Everio X offers high-speed shooting, similar to the motor drive function found in

some mechanical still cameras. As many as six nine-MegaPixel photos can be shot at up to 15

images per second, a speed that surpasses what's offered by typical nine-MegaPixel DSLR

cameras. Everio X also allows shooting of 1920 x 1080/50i Full HD video and fully 5.3 MegaPixel

stills at the same time - a unique advantage of this all-in-one camera. While recording video,

photos can be shot at shutter speeds as fast as 1/4000 second without interrupting video

recording.

5.3 Mega simultaneous still Shooting speed Maximum limit

High speed 50 images / sec. 11 images

Medium speed 10 images / sec. 11 images

Low speed 1 image / sec. No limit
