**CHARGE MARKER

Charge marker

A charge marker is provided on the battery pack to

help you remember whether it has been charged or

 

 

not. Two colors are provided (red and black)—you

 

choose which one means charged and which

 

means discharged.

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-AXM10, GR-AXM20 specifications

The JVC GR-AXM20 and GR-AXM10 are compact camcorders that made waves in the late 1990s and early 2000s thanks to their innovative features and user-friendly design. Targeting both amateur and semi-professional videographers, these models are known for their reliability and versatility. The JVC GR-AXM20, the more advanced of the two, boasts several high-tech features that appeal to a range of users, from families capturing moments to video enthusiasts.

One of the standout characteristics of the GR-AXM20 is its 20x optical zoom lens, which allows users to capture distant subjects with clarity.

In terms of audio quality, the GR-AXM20 and GR-AXM10 feature built-in stereo microphones, ensuring clear sound capture to complement the visual element. This combination of video and audio quality positioned these camcorders as practical options for family events, travel videos, and more.

The user interface is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring an LCD screen that rotates for easy viewing from various angles. This flexibility facilitates creative shooting angles and adds to the overall user experience. Additionally, both camcorders support a variety of recording modes, including standard and long-play, maximizing recording time and offering users options depending on their needs.

In summary, the JVC GR-AXM20 and GR-AXM10 stand out for their optical zoom capabilities, low-light performance, and user-friendly design.
