The camcorders are user-friendly, featuring an intuitive interface and a rotating LCD screen that allows for flexible viewing angles. This ensures that users can comfortably compose their shots from various perspectives.

The series also incorporates JVC's image stabilization technology, which significantly minimizes shaking and enhances overall image smoothness during movement. This is particularly beneficial for handheld shooting, allowing for more professional-looking videos without the need for additional stabilization equipment.
