JVC's advanced prism optics and filterless 3-CCD pixel shift technology quadruple the pixel count to record 5 megapixel-class stills. Simply put, the pixel shift technique, used also in JVC professional cameras, captures double the 1,228,800 pixel information in both the horizontal and vertical directions, creating a real full color image pixel count multiplied by four for stills. (Everio uses 691,200 effective pixels for each RGB video color.) The broader dynamic range delivers videos with bright realistic colors and photo-quality digital stills up to 2560 x 1920 pixels for beautiful 8 x 10 or A4 prints. JVC optics using three dimension angle mounting technology assures high precision prism/CCD registration with accuracy on the order of one micron. The camcorder's two sections - the grip and the lens/body assembly - pivot so the lens portion can be tilted without the user changing hand location. This makes it easy to quickly transition to a high or low shooting angle, and affords a number of comfortable and stable single and two handed shooting positions 4GB Microdrive Removable Media Provided / Microdrive/ CompactFlash card and SD Dual Card Slots for Extra Data Storage and Transfer MPEG-2 Video Recording (up to 720 x 480/60i in ULTRA mode) with Dolby Digital Audio User-Friendly GUI for Easy Operation and Setting JVC GZ-MC500 creates sharp and vivid images by dedicating a 1.33 (1.23 effective) megapixel CCD to each color - red, green and blue.
