NOTES:

The recording time per charge is affected by such factors as the time spent in Record/Standby mode and the frequency of zooming. It is safer to have spare battery packs.

Charging times noted on page 8 are for fully discharged battey pack, and discharging times are for fully charged battery pack.

Charging and discharging times vary according to the ambient temperature and the status of the battery pack.

Remember to set the charge marker after charging a battery pack or after detaching a discharged one from your camcorder.

Perform the REFRESH function after no less than 5 chargings.

High temperatures can damage the battery pack, so use only where good ventilation is available. Don’t allow it to discharge in container, such as a bag.

If you stop recharging or discharging part way through, make sure to remove the battery pack before unplugging the adapter’s AC cord.

Remove the battery pack from the adapter immediately after discharging.

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

Make sure you unplug the DC cord before charging or discharging the battery pack.

A blinking CHG. indicator means that the battery pack has become hot. Wait until it cools down to continue.

The CHG. indicator may not light properly with a brand new battery pack, or with one that’s been stored for an extended period. In this case, remove and reattach the battery pack and recharge it. The CHG. indicator should light during recharging. If not, contact your nearest JVC dealer.

GR-AX270, GR-AX570 specifications

The JVC GR-AX270 and GR-AX570 are compact camcorders that were well-regarded in the late 1990s and early 2000s for their user-friendly features and advanced technology for their time. These models were designed to cater to both novice and experienced videographers, making it easier to capture high-quality video footage.

One of the primary features of the JVC GR-AX270 is its lightweight and portable design. Weighing less than 3 pounds, this camcorder can easily be carried around for long shooting sessions without causing fatigue. It boasts a 16x optical zoom lens, allowing users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality. The GR-AX270 also features a digital zoom that extends the zoom capability up to 100x, making it versatile for various shooting scenarios.

The GR-AX570 model steps up with a few additional features. It includes a larger 3.5-inch color LCD screen that enhances user interaction, making it easier to monitor recordings and navigate through settings. This model also features a more advanced autofocus system, ensuring that subjects remain in focus automatically, which is beneficial for fast-paced shoots.

Both models utilize JVC's proprietary Super High Band (SHB) technology, which enhances video resolution and color reproduction. This technology ensures that the recordings have rich detail and vibrant colors, which was exceptional for consumer camcorders during this era. The camcorders also integrate a built-in image stabilization system, significantly reducing the shake that can occur during handheld shooting.

The GR-AX270 and GR-AX570 are equipped with various recording options, including both SP (Standard Play) and LP (Long Play) modes, allowing users to choose between quality and recording time based on their needs. They are compatible with VHS-C tapes, which were commonly available and relatively inexpensive, making these camcorders accessible to a wide audience.

In terms of audio capabilities, both models come with a built-in microphone that captures clear sound, while an external microphone input is available for those who require higher audio quality. The JVC GR-AX270 and GR-AX570 remain popular in the vintage video community, as they symbolize a significant era in camcorder technology, providing amateurs and enthusiasts alike with the tools to create memorable home videos and other projects.
