FEATURE:
Zooming
PURPOSE:
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instanta-
neous change in image magnification.
OPERATION:
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards T.
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards W.
The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the
quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In

( pg. 43), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
Zooming is possible to a maximum of 500X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom ( pg. 47).
Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through
Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
During Digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/
MEMORY Switch is set to MEMORY ( pg. 17).
Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is
set all the way to W. Also see TELE MACRO in
the Menu Screen on page 48.

Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing ( pg. 58 – 62), time code is necessary. If during recording a blank
portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time
code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes
as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform “Recording From The Middle of A
Tape” below in the following cases;
When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
When power shuts off during shooting.
When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
When shooting again after shooting a scene
then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
Recording From The Middle Of A Tape
1. Play back a tape or use Blank Search ( pg. 24) to find the spot at which you want to start recording,
then engage the Still Playback mode ( pg. 21).
2. Set the Power Switch to “
AUTO
” or “
MANUAL
” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch,
then start recording.
NOTES:
The time code cannot be reset.
During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly.
The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set to “ON” ( pg. 49, 50).

SEPIA
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old
photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a
classic look.
MONOTONE
Like black and white films, your footage is shot in
B/W. Used together with the Cinema mode, it
enhances the classic film effect.
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
STROBE*
Your recording looks like a series of consecutive
snapshots.
SLOW (Slow Shutter) (GR-DVL567/DVL367/
DVL365/DVL167/DVL160 only)
Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than
they would be under good natural lighting. Use
SLOW only in dark areas.
SLOW 4X
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow
shooting in dark environments.
SLOW 10X
Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow
shooting in even darker environments.
NOTES:
When using SLOW, the image takes on a strobe-
like effect.
When using SLOW, it may be difficult to bring the
camcorder into focus. To prevent this, use of manual
focus and/or a tripod is recommended.
* For GR-DVL867/DVL865/DVL767/DVL765 Owners:

second. Black bands that usually appear when
shooting a TV screen become narrower.
1/120The shutter speed is fixed at 1/120th of a
second. The flickering that occurs when shooting
under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is
reduced.
This setting allows fast-moving images to be
captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slow-
motion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the
darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter
function under good lighting conditions.
SNOW
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise
appear too dark when shooting in extremely bright
surroundings such as in the snow.
SPOTLIGHT
Compensates for subjects that may otherwise
appear too bright when shooting under extremely
strong direct lighting such as spotlights.
NOTE:
SPOTLIGHT has the same effect as 3 with the
exposure control (pg. 44).
TWILIGHT
Makes evening scenes look more natural.
White Balance ( pg. 45) is initially set to , but
can be changed to your desired setting. When
Twilight is chosen, the camcorder automatically

FEATURE: Auto Focus
PURPOSE:
The camcorders Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx.
5 cm to the subject) to infinity.
However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these cases use manual
focusing):
When two subjects overlap in the same scene.
When illumination is low.*
When the subject has no contrast (difference in brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour wall, or
a clear, blue sky.*
When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*
When the scene contains minute patterns or identical patterns that are regularly repeated.
When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light reflecting off the surface of a body of water.
When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.
* The following low-contrast warnings appear blinking: , , and
NOTES:
If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft
cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.
When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first ( pg. 18). If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the
camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This
will not occur when TELE MACRO ( pg. 48) is activated.

adjustment, and select MWB.
2Hold a sheet of plain white paper in front of the
subject. Adjust zoom or position yourself so that the
white paper fills the screen.
3Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in until
begins blinking rapidly.
When the setting is completed, resumes normal
blinking.
4Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in twice. The
Menu Screen closes and the Manual White Balance
indicator is displayed.
NOTES:
In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white paper.
In such a case, adjust focus manually ( pg. 43).
A subject can be shot under various types of lighting
conditions indoors (natural, flourescent, candlelight,
etc.). Because the colour temperature is different
depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ
depending on the white balance settings. Use this
function for a more natural result.
Once you adjust white balance manually, the setting is
retained even if the power is turned off or the battery
removed.

Random Assemble Editing [R.A.Edit]
Create edited videos easily using your camcorder as
the source player. You can select up to 8 cuts for
automatic editing, in any order you like. R.A.Edit is
more easily performed when the MBR (Multi-Brand
Remote) is set to operate with your brand of VCR
(see VCR CODE LIST), but can also be performed by
operating the VCR manually.
Before operation, make sure the batteries are
installed in the remote control ( pg. 54).
SET REMOTE/VCR CODE
1Turn off the power to the VCR and point the
remote towards the VCRs infrared sensor. Then,
referring to the VCR CODE LIST, press and hold
MBR SET, and enter the brand code.
The code is automatically set once you release MBR
SET, and the VCRs power comes on.
2Make sure the VCRs power is on. Then, while
holding SHIFT, press the button on the remote for the
desired function. The functions the remote can control
are PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, FF, REW and VCR REC
STBY (you do not need to press SHIFT for this one).
You are now ready to try Random Assemble
Editing.
IMPORTANT
Although the MBR is compatible with JVC VCRs
and those of many other makers, it may not work
with yours or may offer limited functions.
NOTES:
If the VCRs power does not come on in step 1, try
another code from the VCR CODE LIST.
Some brands of VCR do not come on automatically. In
this case, turn the power on manually and try step 2.
If the remote control is not able to control the VCR, use
the controls on the VCR.
When the remote controls batteries run out, the VCR
brand you have set will be erased.
In that case, replace the old battery with a new one to
reset the VCR brand.

For More Accurate Editing
Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause
to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin
editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the
same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find
that you have recorded scenes you did not want. For
a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing of
the camcorder against your VCR.
DIAGNOSING VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING
1Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point
the remote control at the camcorders remote sensor
and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF.
The Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.
2Perform Random Assemble Editing on Pro-
gramme 1 only. In order to check VCR and
camcorder timing, select the beginning of a scene
transition as your Edit-In point.
3Play back the dubbed scene.
If any images from the scene prior to the transition
you chose for your Edit-In point were recorded, that
means your VCR moves too quickly from Record-
Pause to Record mode.
If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress, the
VCR is slow to start recording.
ADJUSTMENT OF VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING
4Point the remote control at the camcorders
remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF to make
the Random Assemble Editing menu disappear, then
press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in. The Menu
Screen appears.
5Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select
VIDEO and press it. The VIDEO Menu appears.
Then, rotate it to SYNCHRO and press it. The value
for SYNCHRO is highlighted.
6Based on the diagnostics performed, you can
now advance the VCRs record timing by rotating the
MENU/BRIGHT wheel towards +. You can also
delay the VCRs record timing by rotating the MENU/
BRIGHT wheel towards . The adjustment range is
from 1.3 to +1.3 seconds, in 0.1-second increments.
Press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in to finish the
setting.
7Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select
RETURN and press it twice.
Now perform Random Assemble Editing beginning
with step 4 on page 60.
NOTES:
Before performing actual Random Assemble Editing, do
a few Random Assemble Editing trial runs to check
whether the value you have input is appropriate or not,
and make adjustments accordingly.
Depending on the recorder, there may be situations
where the timing difference cannot be fully corrected.

Perform charging where the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. 20°C to
25°C is the ideal temperature range for charging. If the environment is too
cold, charging may be incomplete.
Charging times are for a fully discharged battery pack.
Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of
the battery pack.
To avoid interference with reception, do not use the AC Adapter near a radio.
Since the AC Adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm
during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
The following operation stops charging:
Set the Power Switch to PLAY,
AUTO
or
MANUAL
.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the camcorder.
Unplug the AC adapters power cord from the AC outlet.
Detach the battery from the camcorder.
When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor
may be difficult to see. If this happens, use the viewfinder instead.
The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause
a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short
circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold
temperatures (below 10°C), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place
the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder.
As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If youre using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

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.

the bottom.
2. To prolong service life . . .
... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.
3. Be aware of the following phenomena for LCD
monitor use.
These are not malfunctions:
While using the camcorder, the surface around
the LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD
monitor may heat up.
If you leave power on for a long time, the surface
around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

enter the unit.
... remove the battery pack or disconnect the
power supply while the power is on.
... leave the battery pack attached when the
camcorder is not in use.
2. Avoid using the unit . . .
... in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.
... in places subject to soot or steam such as near
a cooking stove.
... in places subject to excessive shock or vibration.
... near a television set.
... near appliances generating strong magnetic or
electric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas,
etc.).
... in places subject to extremely high (over 40°C)
extremely low (under 0°C) temperatures.
3. DO NOT leave the unit . . .
... in places of over 50°C.
... in places where humidity is extremely low (below
35%) or extremely high (above 80%).
... in direct sunlight.
... in a closed car in summer.
... near a heater.
4. To protect the unit, DO NOT . . .
... allow it to become wet.
... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.
... subject it to shock or excessive vibration during
transportation.
... keep the lens directed at extremely bright
objects for long periods.
... expose the lens to direct sunlight.
... carry it by holding the LCD monitor or the
viewfinder.
... swing it excessively when using the shoulder
strap or the grip.
5. Dirty heads can cause the following problems:
No picture during playback.
Blocks of noise appear during playback.
During recording or playback, the Head Clog
Warning indicator “ ” appears.
Recording cannot be performed properly.
In such cases, use an optional cleaning cassette.
Insert it and play back. If the cassette is used more
than once consecutively, damage to the video
heads may result. After the camcorder plays back
for about 20 seconds, it stops automatically. Also
refer to the cleaning cassettes instructions.
If, after using the cleaning cassette, the problems
still exist, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
Mechanical moving parts used to move the video
heads and video tape tend to become dirty and
worn out over time. In order to maintain a clear
picture at all times, periodic check-ups are
recommended after using the unit for about 1,000
hours. For periodic check-ups please consult your
nearest JVC dealer.
CAUTIONS

EN
77
Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled
device. External noise and interference (from a
TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning
properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power
supply unit (battery pack, AC Adapter, etc.) and
wait a few minutes and then re-connect it and
proceed as usual from the beginning.
About moisture condensation . . .
You have observed that pouring a cold liquid
into a glass will cause drops of water to form
on the glass outer surface. This same
phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a
camcorder when it is moved from a cool place
to a warm place, after heating a cold room,
under extremely humid conditions or in a place
directly subjected to the cool air from an air
conditioner.
Moisture on the head drum can cause severe
damage to the video tape, and can lead to
internal damage to the camcorder itself.
How to handle a CD-ROM
Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write
anything or put a sticker on either the front or back
surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it with
a soft cloth outward from the centre hole using a
circular motion.
Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning
spray.
Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror
surface.
Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid
environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
