THE CHARISMA OF A PRO
IN COMPACT DIMENSIONS.

If you’re driven to perform, you need a camcorder that can
keep pace. Shoot at the speed you need, from high-speed
600fps to time-lapse recording, and count on advanced imaging
technologies to put pro-type pristine images in your grasp.

Progressive Full HD 1920x1080/60p
Image with 36Mbps Processing

Procision GC-PX100 records video at Full HD 1920x1080, but that’s just part

of the story. Progressive video means that each individual frame is a complete,

high-resolution picture unlike interlace. And to ensure maximum quality down to

each pixel, Procision uses extremely fast 36Mbps image processing for precise

image capture based on larger amounts of visual information. The result is sharply

reproduced images at any speed, unlike what you’d expect from a conventional

handheld camcorder. What’s more, you can even take 2.1M still images while

recording video.

Multi Codec Ready with AVCHD, MPEG-4 and MOV Support

Procision GC-PX100 allows you to record in AVCHD 2.0-compliant video, as well

as MPEG-4 and .MOV formats, including iFrame compatible 720p. This selection

virtually assures compatibility with your preferred codec, in a variety of usage

and workflow scenarios. Although not very prevalent, JVC provides .MOV format

recording for highest quality in certain post-production usages as its audio is

recorded in non-compressed Linear PCM.

10x Optical Zoom with Optical
Image Stabilizer

Zoom in for close-ups with full optical quality maintained. Get tight shots without

any sacrifice in Full HD resolution. And in instances where extra zoom power is

needed, Procision GC-PX100 can magnify up to 19x at 720p resolution using

Dynamic Zoom technology. And to avoid a jittery picture even when your hand isn’t

absolutely steady, Procision GC-PX100 offers Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) to

provide effective results over the entire zoom range.

Bright and Fast F1.2 GT Lens for
Super LoLux Performance

The “eye” of the Procision GC-PX100 is an extremely bright F1.2 lens featuring

high quality GT optics developed for maximum affinity with the CMOS image

sensor. The ample aperture takes in plenty of light to maintain a bright image even

when shooting in indoor situations where ambient lighting is not ideal.

12M High Quality Stills

Procision GC-PX100 is not a video-only camera, as it enables you to also record

still images with up to 12M-pixel resolution in Ultra Resolution mode. You can

travel lighter than carrying separate video and still cameras, and since you’re not

operating two cameras independently you’re less likely to miss a shot.

1/2.3" 12.8M Back-Illuminated CMOS Sensor

Procision GC-PX100 uses a 1/2.3" 12.8 Megapixel Back-illuminated CMOS sensor

— a type of CMOS that effectively avoids the loss of incoming light b ecause

its circuitry is moved to a layer behind the photo diodes. This increased visual

information is captured by 12.8M-pixels to provide a high-quality, high-resolution

picture filled with presence and detail, making it an ideal image source for a variety

of applications.

Time Control to Flexibly Capture Any Scene

Procision GC-PX100 is equipped with a Time Control Function that lets you flexibly select

and change the recording speed by turning a single dial next to the lens. With easy access,

you can go from high-speed at 600 frames per second (fps), to Time-Lapse at 1 frame

per 80 seconds. You get total control over the time factor, and best of all, it’s so easy and

intuitive you’ll master it in no time.

Since settings can be changed with intuitive controls, you
will never miss that important moment.
