Built-In 14:1 Lens
■ The GY-X3 has a permanently attached
Fujinon 14:1 (5.5-77mm) servo zoom
lens. A continuously variable speed zoom
lens, the amount of pressure applied to
the rocker switch determines the speed
of the zoom. The lens also has a motor-
ized iris that smoothly adjusts to varying
lighting conditions. Both the zoom and
iris can be manually controlled.
1.5˝ Viewfinder
■ Just like the big boys, the GY-X3 has a
large high resolution 1.5˝ viewfinder
that allows you to see more detail, even
when shooting in bright sunlight. The
viewfinder displays comprehensive status
indicators, including audio levels. The
display also lets you keep track of tape
remaining, date/time and battery condi-
tion.
Variable Scan Mode
■ Variable scan mode for flicker-free shoot-
ing of computer monitors.
CTL Time Code Generator
■ Built-in Control Track (CTL) Time Code
generator, as well as a Time/Date generator.
Pioneered by JVC, CTL writes absolute
frame address data onto the control track.
When played back in JVC’s BR-S500/800
VCRs, time code data is easily accessed
with frame accurate logging and editing.
■ To further enhance the editing process,
the GY-X3 also logs each new recorded
scene in the “user bit” portion of the time
code. This “Scene Finder” function allows
quick location of the next or previous
scene with the Edit-Desk system. Scene
numbers are also displayed in the LCD
display of the GY-X3.
Audio
■ Two-channel Hi-Fi audio recording, plus
a linear audio track. Supplied with a cam-
era-mounted, super directional electret
condenser microphone.
Conveniences
■ Auto Save mode puts the VCR into
power save after long periods of inaction.
■ The GY-X3 was designed to be as com-
fortable as it is affordable. Weighing only
12.8 lbs. including lens and viewfinder, it
is weight-balanced for exceptional stabili-
ty and is ergonomically molded to ensure
comfort during long periods of continu-
ous shooting. All controls, including
audio level adjustments, are right at your
fingertips. The result is a camera that
becomes an extension of your body, leav-
ing you free to concentrate on shooting.
