GZ-HD7 Specification

Full HD 1920x1080i Recording - World's First Full HD Recording

Native 1920x1080i resolution is maintained throughout the recording to playback process from lens, CCD, MPEG2 Transport Stream and output via HDMI or USB 2.0 with no quality-degrading conversion.

5 Hours of Full HD Recording

With a 60GB built-in hard disk drive you can enjoy up to five hours of Full HD 1920x1080i recording at a high 30Mbps (MAX), plus you get two additional recording modes.

Manual Focus Ring and Focus Assist Function

The focus ring gives you real-time manual control over focus while Focus Assist outlines in-focus image contours in colour so you can easily tell which parts of the image are in or out of focus.

Wide Range of Manual Controls

In addition to shutter speed priority, aperture priority, exposure control, white balance, Programme AE and sharpness control, there's the "Zebra" function which displays a striped pattern on over-exposed parts of the picture.

Zebra Function - Striped areas show over-exposed portions of the image.

FUJINON Professional Optical Zoom Lens

The GZ-HD7 utilises a lens designed for high definition by FUJINON. FUJINON is the leader in professional camera lens for HD moving images. This lens features 3 aspherical elements and provides nearly the same brightness (F1.8-1.9) throughout its zoom range.

Three 1/5" Progressive Scan CCDs

Three individual 1/5-inch CCDs - one for each primary colour - gather more visual information to deliver more realistic colour reproduction.

Pixel Shift Technology

The Red and Blue pixel locations are shifted relative to Green, allowing the sampled colour information to be quadrupled through interpolation.

Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS)

Our OIS system compensates "camera shake" effectively without any of the quality loss associated with digital image stabilisation systems.
