FUJINON HD Lens
HD Everio utilises a lens designed for high definition by FUJINON. FUJINON is the leader in professional camera lenses for live HD images. This lens features 3 aspherical elements and provides nearly the same brightness (F1.8-1.9) throughout its entire zoom range.
| Zoom Ratio | F Stop | Focal Length |
|---|---|---|
| Optical 10x/Digital 200x | F1.8 – F1.9 | F= 3.3mm – 33mm |
Three 1/5" Progressive Scan CCDs
For bright, realistic colours the HD Everio uses three 1/5-inch CCDs – one each for red, green and blue. Naturally, by having dedicated CCDs for each primary colour, the camera is able to gather the maximum visual information which leads to more realistic colour reproduction and presence.
Pixel-Shift Technology
Using Pixel Shift Technology, the Red and Blue pixel locations are shifted relative to Green, allowing the sampled colour information to be quadrupled through interpolation.
Full HD 1920x1080 Recording
Full HD 1920x1080 recording means that all of the image information you are capable of seeing on an HDTV display will be recorded at the camcorder. Without losing any visual information to start with, this native 1920x1080 resolution is maintained throughout the recording to playback process from lens, CCD, MPEG2 Transport Stream and output via HDMI™ or USB2.0 with no quality-degrading conversion.
Up to 24 Hours of HD Recording and 4 Rec Modes
Internal high-capacity HDD allows long recording times. With the GZ-HD6, you can store up to 24 hours of HD video (LP mode).

Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS)
To preserve the Full HD quality, HD Everio features optical image stabilisation, avoiding the signal degradation caused by electronic image stabilisation, which might be particularly noticeable in HD footage.
