Key Features:

JVC's entry-level high definition camcorder, the GZ-HM300 PAL Memory Camcorder gets you into HD recording while remaining budget-friendly. The HM300 features dual SD/SDHC flash memory card slots for recording your footage. Once the first card is full the camera will automatically switch to the second card for seamless recording. When using 32GB cards you can store up to 14 hours and 40 minutes of footage per card - which gives you just over 29 hours of recording time without having to change out your media.

At the heart of the HM300 you'll find a 1/5.8" 1.37MP CMOS sensor. The sensor works together with the Konica Minolta lens, 20x optical zoom, and JVC's Advanced Image Stabilizer to capture brilliant video and still images. The camera also features a Laser Touch Operation LCD that gives you a scroll bar on the side of the screen, and buttons at the bottom for controlling the camera, keeping the display free from fingerprints and smudges.

Among the user-friendly features of the camera you'll benefit from you'll find Time-Lapse REC, Auto REC, and Face Detection, with JVC's Face Flow Thumbnail. The GZ-HM300 also provides you with an HDMI output, a 2-way grip belt, and an A/V output. And when it's time to edit and share all that footage you've taken the camera comes with Everio MediaBrowser. This software helps you manage, edit, and transfer your files all with an easy to follow workflow.

• Auto REC With Auto REC when a subject enters the detecting area, and the luminance changes, recording starts automatically. Recording continues as long as there is movement within the area and automatically stops after 5 seconds of no movement. You can use it like a surveillance camera, or to capture hard to get scenes, like wildlife
• Face Detection and Face Flow Thumbnail The Face Detection feature on HD Everio camcorders has been upgraded. When shooting, it intelligently detects up to 16 faces then accurately adjusts the focus and exposure. It works for both video and digital stills. And while browsing through scenes in the Play mode, thumbnails can be displayed with close-ups of detected faces so you can easily identify who's in the file
