GY-DV5100U Highlights

JVC pro features

Full Auto Shooting In an emergency, or when it's not possible to pause to adjust white balance or change the gain, the Full Auto Shooting mode provides point-and-shoot ease of operation, leaving you simply to zoom, focus, and press the record button. Activating Full Auto Shooting puts the camera in the Auto Iris mode, even if the lens is set to manual. Automatic Video Level Control (ALC) is also activated, along with Extended Electronic Iris (EEI) which provides both variable gain and variable shutter and Full Auto White to follow color temperature. This means you can shoot continuously from dark to bright, from indoors to outdoors, without changing gain, iris, white balance or ND filter.

Color matrix A sophisticated six-axis color matrix circuit effectively compensates optics-related color reproduction to ensure more natural, true-to-life tones. Five color matrix presets (Standard/Warm/Extra1/Extra2/Extra3) are provided to give you more creative control over the look and feel of your images.

Tri-mode 2.5-inch LCD display The 200,000-pixel, 2.5-inch color TFT LCD monitor provides a high-resolution 440 TVL image during shooting or playback. Its peaking adjust function allows quick, effortless focusing. A push button selects three display modes:

Video only
Video images with text information overlay including time, status, mode, and other data are shown on the screen.
Data information only including time, status, mode, and other data are shown on the screen (see example in paragraph below).

Functions and switch layout for professionals In addition to the Full Auto Shooting to handle difficult or variable lighting environments, the GY-DV5100 is equipped with an array of pro-level functions that provide professionals with the creative flexibility they need. These include soft detail correction, Skin Tone Detection, fully adjustable gamma, Iris over/under Black Stretch/Compress, Frame Mode, etc. The GY-DV5100's switches have also been arranged in the way that most professionals are accustomed to, making operation more intuitive, precise, easy, and error-free. Since you won't have to "re-learn" how to use this camcorder all over again, the GY-DV5100 is the ideal camera for any assignment.

LOLUX 0.2 lx (F1.4) When activated, the LOLUX mode increases sensitivity with almost no increase in noise. LOLUX increases the gain by +36 dB so you can capture high-quality video footage with excellent color balance, enhanced gradations, and minimal color smear even in low-light conditions.

Various audio-related functions When color bars are output, audio reference level (test tone) is also output. The audio reference level can be set to -12 dB or -20 dB as required. In addition, a "wind cut" function is provided to minimize extraneous noise picked up by the microphone.

Versatile, User-Friendly Design

Direct dock to DR-DV5000 The DV select switch on the rear allows you to dock a DR-DV5000 removable hard disk drive without having to use a DV cable.

Two external rear audio connectors Two XLR connectors on the rear panel, as well one on the front, enable flexible audio input from multiple sources such as a shotgun microphone plus wireless microphone.

Standard Anton Bauer Gold Mount (NTSC model only) This camera is compatible with any Gold Mount battery such as Dionic, HyTRON, ProPac and Trimpac. With the VTR trigger button, the camera mounted light turns on or off automatically (this function is switchable). In addition, communication between the Anton Bauer battery and the GY-DV5100 through QR-JVC-Digi bracket makes possible an interactive viewfinder fuel gauge that shows the exact battery remaining capacity as a percentage and camera usable time as minutes.

JVC pro features

Optional 1.5-inch CRT black & white viewfinder The viewfinder can be moved forwards or backwards and can be adjusted for left or right eye shooting, so it is comfortable for any operator. Peaking is optimized to make focusing easy at all times.

On-shoulder type with soft shoulder pad For smooth, stable shooting, the GY-DV5100 has been designed for on-shoulder shooting and comes with an advanced soft shoulder pad that will not slip regardless of the type of clothing or the fabric.

Scan mode It is possible to select between video or "Hi Res Frame Mode" for a more cinematographic effect.
