FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New
Rugged, Weather-Proof JVC Everio R Camcorder Line Water-proof, dust-proof, shock-proof and freeze-proof Everio R Series offers top quality video and high-power zoom to capture outdoor adventures. LAS
VEGAS, January 9, 2018 JVCKENWOOD Corporation elevates camcorder usability with its newest JVC Everio R Series lineup — the GZ-RY980, GZ-R560 and GZ-R460. Over the years, Everio R has transformed what a camcorder can do and where it can go, while maintaining the camcorder form factor that contributes to performance with high quality optics, high zoom ratios, and stable shooting. The GZ-RY980 reaches a new high with 4K recording. Throughout the line, the Quad-Proof structure protects from unexpected drops, splashes, rain and snow, and a built-in long-life battery enables extended shooting. Consumers who enjoy outdoor activities are eager to share their adventures, and Everio R has evolved to meet their needs. Everio R is tough, able to withstand a drop from 4.9ft, freeze-proof down to 14˚F, and dust-proof. And since a camcorder’s worst enemy is water, Everio R models offer water resistance when submersed to a depth of 16.4ft for 1 hour or 3.3ft for 4 hours (when used in water intermittently), so they can be used while snorkelling and enjoying other marine leisure activities. Back on land, an Everio R camcorder can be placed under running water for easy cleaning after a full day outdoors. Since the long-life battery (approximately 5 hours for GZ-R560/R460; 4.5 hours in 4K or 5.5 hours in HD for GZ-RY980) is internal, it is protected from water and eliminates the risk of damaging the camcorder while exchanging batteries in bad weather. Even at home or in the back yard, the Quad-Proof design ensures the camcorder is protected against mud, puddles, and other surprises that life may have in store. Toughness, however, is only part of the Everio R story. All models offer Full HD picture quality, and the top-of-the-line GZ-RY980 takes video recording all the way up to 4K (70Mbps) for a truly immersive viewing experience. The high-end GZ-RY980 is also equipped with a suite of quality support technologies, including the new JVC 4K GT LENS, 1/2.3” 18.9M Back-illuminated CMOS Sensor, and FALCONBRID 4K Image Processing Engine. Its zoom capabilities are 10x optical and 200x digital. Unique 4K perks include 4K Time-Lapse Recording, 8 megapixel stills captured from 4K video, and Full HD High-Speed Recording for dramatic slow motion playback. GZ-RY980 also features Dual SD card slots, external mic input, and Wi-Fi functionality using an optional adapter. GZ-R560/R460 feature a KONICA MINOLTA HD LENS with high-quality 40x optical zoom, 60x Dynamic Zoom, 2.5M Back-illuminated CMOS Image Sensor, and FALCONBRID image processing engine. All three models offer 24Mbps High bit rate recording to provide a solid base for Everio R’s high quality image, K2 Technology to ensure quality sound, a Y-shaped grip belt for stable holding, and PC software for archiving and easy sharing on SNS (CyberLink PowerDirector for GZ-RY980, Everio MediaBrowser 4 for GZ-R560/R460). The GZ-R560 features AVCHD progressive recording and a built-in Auto Illumi. Light. The GZ-R460 is available in a choice of two colors. Internal memory is 32GB for GZ-R560 and 4GB for GZ-R460. The Everio GZ-RY980, GZ-R560 and GZ-R460 will be available in late spring 2018. Pricing will be announced at that time. GZ-RY980 Primary Features
