The Everio GZ-MG730 30GB HD Camcorder features a high-performance camera section with a 1/2.5-inch 7.38 Megapixel CCD with Primary Color Filter. Its rounded design shows off the F3.5 KONICA MINOLTA LENS. With the ability to shoot high resolution digital stills up to 3072 x 1728 (16:9 mode) or 3072 x 2304 (4:3 mode) in size, the GZ-MG730 is an ideal dual-use camera.
Serious enthusiasts will enjoy the additional pro-style shooting features, including Auto Flash, Program AE dial with Shutter Priority and Aperture Priority, Auto Exposure Bracketing, Backlight and Spotlight compensation, Natural and Vivid color settings, and Histogram Display. The GZ-MG730 features PictBridge compatibility for direct printing, a microSD card slot and USB mass storage compatibility, and comes with a convenient remote control.
The JVC Data Battery allows remaining recording time to be displayed on the LCD even when the camera is off. Power-Linked Operation powers up the camcorder and engages the standby mode simply by opening the LCD, while Quick Restart starts recording just about one second after the LCD is re-opened.
For use with PCs, Everio G Series camcorders come with CyberLink’s PowerProducer 3 NE for authoring DVDs, PowerDirector 5 NE Express for editing, and PowerCinema NE for Everio to browse camera contents and enable the Direct DVD/Direct Backup functions. Macintosh users will have an easy time importing Everio’s video files using iMovie ’08.
