This lens features 3 aspheric elements which minimize the weight and space required, while producing less distortion, ghosting and flare. JVC's digital signal processor (DSP) processes all images as full 1920x1080 progressive signals, providing the maximum image information to work with regardless of the actual recording mode that is used.

The camera provides 2 memory card slots, for a total of up to 64GB of on board storage - enough for more than 6 hours of continuous HD recording.
