The JVC GR-AX851U offers many of same useful features and options as the JVC GR-AX750U VHS-C format camcorder. The two important differences are the inclusion of a high-resolution color viewfinder for more realistic visuals while shooting and a built-in light which improves the picture in low-light shooting conditions. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake. Your viewers will appreciate this feature during playback because it will make your recording easier to watch. The GR-AX851U also offers 300x digital zoom. This is ideal for catching action at sporting events or just at home in your backyard. The zoom is a variable-speed zoom triggered by finger pressure with numeric zoom ratio readout in the viewfinder/monitor.
VHS-C format tapes are simply smaller-size VHS tapes. You can play your tapes in any VCR with the included cassette adapter. This feature also allows the manufacturer to make a compact, affordable camcorder. In case you need to travel away from an electrical outlet, the JVC GR-AX851U includes a battery pack with a shooting capability of up to two hours. The camcorder has seven programmable auto exposure modes and digital special effects. The title generator features eight preset messages in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
A time- lapse capability allows you to record at preset intervals to catch slow motion action such as plant growth or cloud movement. You can also record in a special animation mode that creates the illusion of movement for an otherwise stationary scene when you shoot a series of slightly different poses. For editing features, the JVC GR-AX851U offers digital wipes and fades, as well as a black fader and a quick review and retake function. The accessories include a shoulder strap, compact VHS cassette playback adapter, and battery recharger.
