Life is a story. One that deserves to be told with the highest quality.
From lens to final image, GZ-HM1 is technology-intensive for one reason only.
To let you relive your wonderful memories in all their brilliance.
The new HD Everio from JVC.
GZ-HM1 — the one, because quality is everything.

Quality Brings Every Moment to Life
Super LoLux
GZ-HM1 provides superior results in low light environments
by virtue of its 1/2.3” 10.62 Megapixel Back-illuminated CMOS
sensor — a type CMOS that effectively avoids loss of
incoming light because its circuitry is moved to a layer behind
the photo diodes. This increased ability to gather visual
information translates into a brighter, more detailed image.
PreviousGZ-HM1
Optical Image Stabilization System with
Advanced Image Stabilizer*
GZ-HM1 offers double the assurance of camera shake compensation.
First, its Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) uses prism technology to deliver
effective results over the entire zoom range. Added to this, the Advanced
Image Stabilizer system capitalizes on the large area of the CMOS to boost
image stability in the wide-angle range, such as when
you’re moving with the subject.
*Especially effective when shooting bright scenes at wide angle.
Real 10M Digital Stills with No Interpolation and
High-Sensitivity ISO6400
The 10.62 Megapixel CMOS also allows GZ-HM1 to shoot real
non-interpolated 10 Megapixel stills. And high-sensitivity ISO6400 enables
shake-free crisp images even for low-lit situations. Enjoy shooting pristine
digital stills with high resolution and sharp details, even if the lighting is less
than ideal.

dark situations
KONICA MINOLTA HD LENS
GZ-HM1 uses a new KONICA MINOLTA HD
LENS with a 10x optical zoom, and magnifies up
to 16x* without any picture degradation thanks to
Dynamic Zoom technology.
*15x when Advanced Image Stabilizer set to ON.
PreviousGZ-HM1
High Resolution 1920x1080 Full HD Video
The camera’s 10.62 Megapixel CMOS sensor is the source of 1920x1080
Full HD AVCHD format video. The camera records at a stunning 1080 TV
lines of horizontal resolution – the theoretical maximum level of
1920x1080 Full HD.
Variety of Features for More Quality Improvement
● HD Gigabrid Premium II Engine
Enables high-speed processing of a huge amount of pixel
data to allow high quality video recording.
● 24Mbps Ultra High Quality Recording
UXP mode records at 24Mbps, the highest bit rate possible for AVCHD video to
deliver more detailed, sharper images with less noise.
● 1920x1080/60P Output
Outputs a 1080 scanning line image at progressive 60fps so
you can enjoy uncompromising picture quality on a TV that
accepts 1080P input.
● K2 Technology for High Quality Audio
Restores the sound details lost during compression to enable
high-quality audio playback that is closer to the original.

Creative Techniques are Incredibly Easy
Time-Lapse REC
Various unique shooting functions are equipped on GZ-HM1. Time-Lapse
REC records one frame at a time at set intervals (1sec.–80sec.). So you can
watch an hour-long movement in just a short amount of time 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.
60fps / 5.7 Megapixel Motor Drive Shooting
(up to 11 images)
GZ-HM1 offers high-speed shooting, similar to the motor drive function
found in some mechanical still cameras. Up to eleven 5.7 Megapixel stills
can be shot at 60 frames per second (fps)*. A great way to capture fast-
paced action in high quality digital still images.
*30fps when Advanced Image Stabilizer set to ON.
15fps / 10 Megapixel Motor Drive Shooting
(up to 6 images)
For continuous stills with even higher image quality, you can also shoot as
many as six non-interpolated 10 Megapixel stills at up to 15 frames per
second (fps), a speed that rivals or surpasses what’s offered by typical
10 Megapixel DSLR cameras.
Dual Mode: 5.7 Megapixel Stills While Recording
Full HD Video
GZ-HM1 allows shooting of 1920x1080 Full HD video and 5.7 Megapixel
stills at the same time. This way, you won’t have to exit the Video mode
each time you want to take still images, thereby minimizing the chances of
a missed shot.
5.7 Megapixel Still
Just press the SNAPSHOT button while
recording video.
1920x1080 Full HD Video
High-Speed Recording for Ultra-Slow
Motion Playback
High-speed recording mode shoots ultra-slow motion video to capture
dynamic movement that is not visible to the naked eye. Effective tool for
sports technique analysis and nature studies. Three speed modes available.
Face Detection Technology
Intelligently detects up to 16 faces
then accurately adjusts the focus and
exposure
for sharp,
beautiful
images.
