Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. To avoid hazards . . .

... do not burn.Terminals

... do not short-circuit the terminals. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

... do not modify or disassemble.

... do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

... use only specified chargers.

2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... charge in an environment where temperatures

are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery— cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even

when switched off.

NOTES:

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications Charging ................ 10°C to 35°C Operation ............... 0°C to 40°C Storage .................. –10°C to 30°C

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1.During use . . .

... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV mark.

... be aware that recording onto prerecorded tapes automatically erases the previously recorded video and audio signals.

... make sure the cassette is positioned properly when inserting.

... do not load and unload the cassette repeatedly without allowing the tape to run at all. This slackens the tape and can result in damage.

... do not open the front tape cover. This exposes the tape to fingerprints and dust.

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.
