What’s in the Box?
The JVC GZ-HD6 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $0.00) ships with the following items:
- AC Adapter
- BN-VF815U Battery Pack
- Component Cable
- Audio/Video Cable
- USB Cable
- Lens Hood
- Shoulder Strap
- CD-ROM (Power Producer 4 NE, Power Director 6 NE, Power Cinema NE, Digital Photo Navigator 1.5, Guidebook)
- Remote Control
- Lithium Battery
- Core Filter
JVC really packs it all in here, and with a 120GB HDD, there is no need for external media—unless you want to take the MicroSD card bait. You will need an HDMI cable and a backup battery.
Other Features (2.0)
Data Battery/HDD Index - Want to know exactly how much juice is left in the battery or how much of the HDD has been gobbled up? Press Battery/Index and pie chart displays how much recording time is remaining on the GZ-HD6’s HDD. Press the Battery/Index button once more and a vertical battery meter displays the remaining battery percentage and time.
Drop Detection - When Drop Detection is activated, the camcorder automatically shuts off and removes the write/read needle from the disc when it senses a sudden drop. You’ll want to deactivate Drop Detection before filming that handheld chase scene throughout the rough and tumble streets of Brooklyn. Beware, though: a serious drop will still likely do some irrecoverable damage to the HDD.
Digital Effects - The GZ-HD6, like almost any other camcorder, offers a peppering of Digital Image Effects. Sepia, Monotone, Classic Film, and Strobe complete the menu.
