The JVC GR-SXM330U offers the convenience of compact VHS in a sleek, lightweight design. It is equipped with a 2.5-inch high-resolution color viewfinder for more realistic visuals while shooting, and it has a built-in light that improves the picture in low-light conditions. The digital image stabilization gets rid of annoying picture shakes, making your recording easier to watch. It also offers a 16x optical and 400x digital zoom. This is ideal for catching action at sporting events or in your backyard. The zoom is variable speed, triggered by finger pressure, and with a numeric zoom ratio readout in the viewfinder/monitor.
The camcorder is capable of three recording modes. Super VHS recording offers 60-percent better resolution than regular VHS. The SVHS ET allows you to record with that same high-resolution using any VHS-C tape. For full compatibility with any VHS video player you can record in standard VHS mode. VHS-C tapes are simply smaller-sized VHS tapes. You can play your VHS tapes in any VCR with the included cassette adapter.
For editing features, the GR-SXM330U offers digital wipes and fades, audio dubbing, and insert editing, as well as a black fader, and a quick review and retake function. The camcorder has seven programmable autoexposure modes and digital special effects. The title generator features eight preset messages in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Included are a shoulder strap, VHS-C playback adapter, and battery recharger.
