Additionally, both camcorders come equipped with a built-in ND (neutral density) filter, enabling filmmakers to control light exposure creatively without compromising on depth of field.

The user interface of the GY-DV300 and GY-DV301 is designed with professionals in mind. The camcorders offer manual controls for focus, iris, and white balance, allowing users to have precise control over their shooting parameters.
