Power

Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. 20°C to

25°C is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too

( pg. 8)

cold, charging may be incomplete.

Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.

Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.

To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter near a radio.

Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.

The following operation stops charging:

• Set the Power Switch to “PLAY”, “

” or “

”.

AUTO

MANUAL

 

Disconnect the AC adapter from the camcorder.

Unplug the AC adapter’s power cord from the AC outlet.

Detach the battery from the camcorder.

The time required to calculate and display the remaining tape length, and the

 

accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.

 

“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off

 

automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears

 

when a cassette at its end is loaded.

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

GR-DVL160, GR-DVL767, GR-DVL367, DVL367, GR-DVL365 specifications

The JVC GR-DVL365, DVL367, GR-DVL367, GR-DVL767, and GR-DVL160 represent a series of high-quality camcorders that cater to videography enthusiasts and casual users alike. With their compact designs and user-friendly features, these models have garnered attention for their exceptional performance and versatility.

One of the standout features across these models is the incorporation of the MiniDV format, which offers superior video quality with high resolution and low compression. This ensures that users can capture videos that are sharp and vibrant, making them perfect for everything from family events to professional projects.

The GR-DVL365 and GR-DVL367, in particular, are equipped with a powerful 800,000-pixel sensor that delivers clear images and videos even in moderate lighting conditions. The GR-DVL767 ups the ante with a 1.5-megapixel CCD sensor, allowing for even finer detail in recordings. These sensors contribute to the overall image quality, making these camcorders suitable for capturing memorable moments in stunning clarity.

Another impressive feature is the 10x optical zoom lens found in many of these models. This allows users to get close to their subjects without sacrificing image quality, a crucial element when filming events where space may be limited. The GR-DVL767 goes even further with a 20x optical zoom, enabling users to capture distant subjects with ease.

The user interface of these camcorders is designed to be intuitive. Most models feature a color LCD screen that not only provides a clear view of the subject but also allows users to navigate the various settings and options effortlessly. Additionally, the built-in image stabilization technology helps reduce the effects of handheld camera shake, resulting in smoother videos.

For those interested in editing their footage, the ability to output video through IEEE 1394 (FireWire) is a significant advantage. This makes transferring video to a computer for editing straightforward and efficient, enhancing the overall filmmaking experience.

Moreover, the GR-DVL365 and GR-DVL367 come equipped with several shooting modes, including night mode and digital effects, allowing users more creativity in their filming. The GR-DVL160, while simpler, still offers essential features that make it a reliable option for everyday use.
