a brilliant marriage between high-end cinematic imagery and aordable glass. Dozens of high
quality Micro Four Thirds lenses are readily available and require no adapter.
Thanks to the short ange focal distance (slightly less than 20mm) most cinema lenses
can be adapted for use. Various mount adapters are available, including PL mount, Canon EF
mount, Nikon, and C-Mount. The mount’s electrical connections are compatible with many
auto focus, iris and power zoom lenses—even when using an adapter.
One important dierence from most Micro Four Thirds cameras is that the GY-LS300
uses a Super 35 imager—approximately 35% larger than a standard MFT imager. JVC’s mount
provides full coverage of the imager meaning that Super 35 lenses may be used without worry
of vignetting. In fact, a number of S35 lenses are available that do not require an adapter. For
the professional on a budget, having a camera this versatile can literally save thousands of
dollars in avoided new lens purchases.

nparalleled Flexibility
U
Most people would assume that the Super 35 sensor (large) and an MFT mount
(small) is a mismatch being the MFT sensor is 26% smaller than the Super 35 sensor. But,
where the JVC GY-LS300 is concerned that is simply not true! How? It’s easy, the GY-LS300 is
compatible with a wide array of lens mounts enabling photographers the ability to choose
just the right lens, with the perfect aperture, and choice eld of view for any scene. And
then, JVC’s unique Variable Scan Mapping technology maintains the native angle of view for
any and all compatible lenses!
